The Ceremony

The ceremony took place at precisely 3:47 in the afternoon, because Dave always says he'll call you or be over in seven minutes or eleven minutes -- never the usual five or ten, Lori explains. The couple exchanged vows beneath the oak trees in the bride's parents' front yard. After pictures, the reception took place on the driveway. A western saddle on a hay bale, an old handmade buckboard wagon, candles set in horseshoes, and plenty of yellow roses set the stage for a truly Texas-style celebration.
