May 31, 2008: Adrienne & Garrod

I have been looking forward to this wedding for quite a while.

Adrienne and Garrod are two of the most wonderful people you can meet. They really are two halves of a whole and I am just beyond happy for them. This is a 'comfortable chair' post as I was all over town with them yesterday and went a little blog crazy.

The day started, as most weddings do, at the Bowling Alley. Oh wait, most wedding days don't start at the Bowling Alley! But that's what makes this wedding extra-awesome!

All the gents were having a few casual games of bowling before the main festivities. And when I say casual, I actually mean totally competitive. These guys had their own shoes and balls, y'all. The balls had names too - this is Garrod with 'Umberto'.



I love this series - I believe this is a come from behind, last-minute victory.

Meanwhile, the girls were having slightly more typical pre-game festivities. This is Adrienne opening a quilt that her Nana and Aunt's quilting circle spent two (2!!!!!) years making. Amazing.



A little make-up

Then we were off to Green Pastures in South Austin. I cannot say enough about this place. Everything ran so smoothly and the food was delish! Plus it's just a lovely, southern venue. Love it!Tanya and her team did an amazing job.

Getting pinned. One of Garrod's groomsmen did all the boutonniere pinning and he was like a ninja! So fast you guys! He should rent himself out for weddings.

Men.
