|
We were blessed to add yet another
member to the family this month in the form of Logan Harwood, new husband
to Cami Casazza, Mark's only daughter. We were doubly blessed by the
fact that Cami & Logan wanted to have their wedding on our
property. The wedding was on a hill near our house and the reception
was in our barn. Cami & her posse completely transformed our
barn into a beautiful wedding wonderland.
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| This was at the rehearsal dinner, but the prep work for Mark
continued |
Hannah in her "bridezilla" bling, going to town on
that hot dog.
You can tell she has 4 brothers, she's learned to eat fast or lose it! |
| |
|
Crowd shot - the rehearsal dinner was held at the Casazza ranch, where
the boys grew up
|
 |
| |
Eric, doing the obligatory pointing stance for which the Casazza
boys are famous |
| |
|
 |
 |
| The rehearsal dinner after-party was rousing games of
Cribbage and Spot It at our house |
|
| |
|
Amazed to be up past dark, we decided to check out the decorations in
the barn
|
 |
| |
I LOVED having a schedule - what a great idea! Jodi
did the beautiful writing. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| One of Cami's "hay couches" that came in handy
for seating |
The barn, ready for action |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Lovely decor |
These candy dish signs say 'I'm stuck on you", "I
chews u", and "Mint to be" |
| |
|
 |
A look back at our house from the barn, we have planted trees and put
some rock around
|
| The drink cart. Cami's grandpa Mick made this and most of the
decor for her |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| Another hay couch |
The calm before the storm |
| |
|
The girls came in to 'hide' from the guest before the ceremony started,
so I snapped a couple of pictures
|
|
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| I thought this display of beautiful boots in our mud room
was photo-worthy |
The bridesmaid bouquets were so pretty |
| |
|
It was a strange feeling to see a parking lot out our front door, what
a good crowd!
|
 |
| |
This was about 10 minutes before the wedding, Lucas & Kristi
were
wrestling Hannah into her dress. Nothing like pre-wedding stress! |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Guests, anxious to begin |
Larry, showing off his stylish white socks |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Ready for the ceremony on top of the hill |
Somehow I was allowed into the 'handsome Casazza boys' section |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Logan escorting the mothers |
It's all been leading to this moment, Jodi is so proud |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Lilly abandoned her post, as did Hannah. Flower-girling
is for girls! |
The wedding party awaiting the bride |
| |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
|
Here comes the bride!
I couldn't decide which picture I liked best so you
get them both.
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| Dan Sr asking who gives this woman |
Then Mark took over to officiate the ceremony |
| |
|
Because he is Mark, there were several jokes!
|
 |
| |
This little guy was a super trooper, he hung in there the whole
time |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Mark, bringing more smiles |
Pouring the sand |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Grandpa Dan giving the blessing on the marriage |
You may kiss the bride! |
| |
|
 |
 |
I hope to find out what they saw that made them all react
like this. My guess is that
Jeb was involved. |
Beautiful confetti send-off |
| |
|
Rose & our house & the mountains. We were so thankful the
rain finally stopped just in
time for the service. It had been raining all day, right up to 30
minutes before the ceremony.
|
 |
| |
Mother & daughter, and best friends |
| |
|
 |
 |
| It says, "I loved her first" |
Beautiful nieces - Katherine (Katie), Madison, and Kaitlyn |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Being more their usual selves |
The bride & groom with Grandpa Dan and Grandma Rose |
| |
|
The festivities begin at the barn. The Casazza clan seemed to
cluster out back.
|
 |
| |
The infamous bouncy house. Braden was the hero of the day
in a
bounce house story which I will not retell here. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| The head table, ready for action |
Crowd shot |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Hay couch being put to good use |
First dance, with assorted Casazzas in the background |
| |
|
 |
The Anniversary Dance, where everyone stays on the dance floor until you
learn
who has been married the longest. These were the 45-years and up
crowd. |
| Father-daughter dance |
|
| |
|
 |
Here we anxiously await the reveal of how long the longest-married couple
have been
together.
|
| Dan & Rose are at 51 years |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| These grandparents of Logan's have been married 58
years! |
Bouquet toss - last year Cami was involved in a bouquet toss
brawl at Ashely's wedding.
This year when Kaitlyn got a hand on it, everyone knew to give way because she
is strong! |
| |
|
 |
They put the garter on a football for the boys, which was a hit.
Cody (Cami's brother)
caught it, although I don't think he has any interest in being a groom
anytime soon.
|
| Kaitlyn used her volleyball skills to snatch it out of the
air |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| He didn't want the garter, but a Casazza has to be the one to
catch the ball, it's like a rule |
Cami's daycare kids enjoying a dance with the bride |
| |
|
 |
Mark busting a move on the dance floor. He was so relieved to have
the wedding over!
|
Rose wanted evidence that she was indeed holding this
jar. Jodi asked
her to hold the jar and then quite a bit of time elapsed, but she did
her job! |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
Here he treats Jodi to some personalized moves. I
think she's trying to cover
Colt's eyes so he won't be scarred for life! |
Too late, he's scarred. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Lilly, looking adorable with her CapriSun |
These truants have been out fishing |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Kaitlyn, Cami, and Madison |
It doesn't feel right that we're the 'older generation' now, but
that seems to be the case.
Casazza wives: Tracie (Dan's), me (Eric's), Mary Beth (Larry's), and Amy (Jeb's) |
| |
|
We may be older, but we can still act silly sometimes.
|
 |
| |
Lilly, being happy. What you didn't see was her trying to
rip Cody's lips off
only moments before. |
| |
|
 |
 |
Two of Jeb's beauties - Madison & Amy. They look
more like sisters than
mother & daughter. |
One of the most stylish photo-bombs I've ever seen. My mom
needs to take
notes. Mom, you can add this to your photo-bomb repertoire. |
| |
|
 |
 |
| One quick serious picture with Colter before... |
he goes all Jeb on us again |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Jodi, celebrating the end of the stress! |
Is there some kind of 3-foot clearance rule I wasn't aware
of? |
| |
|
Lovely sunset that evening
|
 |
| |
Good picture of Dan, trying not to stress over the fact that
Kaitlyn caught the bouquet |
| |
|
 |
 |
| Family picture of Jeb & Amy's crew - Madison, Aubrey,
Jeb, Amy, and Colter |
Stealing their selfie - Rebecca, Matt (Rebecca's beau), and
Katie |
| |
|
 |
 |
Sparkler send-off. See the ghostly image of the bride and
groom to the right?
Let's pretend I did that on purpose. |
They think sparklers are going off every time they kiss even on
normal days. |
| |
|
Dan, Rose, Kaitlyn, Storm (Madison's beau), Madison, and Katie - all
sparkling
|
|
|
All pictures up to this point have been mine. Now I
give you some different perspectives.
This section are pictures I shamelessly copied from Facebook
Also, I got overwhelmed trying to sort them in chronological
order, so consider this a grab-bag
|

The pictures from this point on are all Rebecca's (or were
taken with her camera)
A lot of the ones I got off Facebook were hers too.
That girl is good with her new camera!
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
Scenes of Colt during the ceremony.
I call this, "A study in boredom"
|
| |
|
 |
Even the sky was celebrating
|
| Mr. & Mrs. Logan Harwood |
|
| |
|
Katie, Madison, and Kaitlyn
|
 |
| |
Cupcakes and muffins were much more practical than cake! |
| |
|
 |
 |
| First dance, I'm lurking in the doorway back there beside
the beautiful Amy |
Speaking of beautiful, here are two of Larry's beauties - Mary
Beth and Katie |
| |
|
Ashley & Cody
|
 |
| |
Rebecca & Matt. They say it's going to be years before
they do this. |
| |
|
The anniversary dance. Do you see a profile you recognize in the
doorway?
|
 |
| |
It almost looks like Larry is trying a football tackle here, but
they were
dancing. |
| |
|
 |
 |
This is the first time Cody & Ashley have ever danced.
And I did not intentionally photo bomb this shot. |
Beautiful picture of Tracie & Dan. She looks just like
Olivia
Newton-John in this picture! |
| |
|
 |
 |
Normally I wouldn't use such a bad picture of us, but
this
is the only picture from the wedding of us together. |
Lilly kept stealing the show |
| |
|
Great action shot of the bouquet grab
|
 |
| |
And the winner is...Kaitlyn! |
| |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| Again, Rebecca got awesome action shots of the garter/football
catch |
Cody is on it |
| |

Go Logan! |
| |

 |
 |
| Lilly wants to take a case or so of water bottles home
with her |
Carter, Lucas & Kristi's youngest son, he's a
heartbreaker. What a sweetheart. |
| |
|
I think this is the only picture I got of the beautiful front Mick made
for the port-a-pottys.
It said, "Hens" and "Roosters" and had real flower
boxes and windows and everything.

There is a certain amount of hazing that goes on for any
male who wants to
date a Casazza female |
Happy Kaitlyn and Katie |

|

|
 |

| A bit more serious now |
Ashley & Katie |

These two were a force, they shut the party down |
One last look at the barn before we started doing the
tear-down. It was a beautiful wedding! |
