Operation Windmills: WEDDING DAY! - Part 4

We had a small, family only ceremony and reception.
The small size was perfect for our peaceful park setting!

Our guests waiting while we fiddle around preparing to walk down the aisle
The mismatched folding chairs made Sarah CRAZY
No one else even noticed.

Rick and I decided against having a rehearsal so everyone got their instructions just before the ceremony started.
Sarah and Renee where the best part! They were so funny!
Originally they were told (by our Rev.) that they'd walk down the aisle and then after Rick got up there they were supposed to sit down next to Phil and Linn

But, after the Rev. got up there, he told Sarah and Renee to keep standing!
They had no idea what they were doing!

Rick and my mom

The entire wedding party thought Sarah and Renee were supposed to be sitting at this point. They were giggling the entire time and I laughed all the way down the aisle!

Bob welcomes me to the family!

Sarah and Renee still giggling - still no idea what they're supposed to do. They weren't even sure where to stand!

Rick and I both love the dandelions in this picture!
The mirror image is just too perfect!

Rick and I were supposed to exchange our "I do's" and when the Reverend asked if Rick had the rings, Sarah (our unofficial ring bearer) was supposed to jump up with a third "I do!"
But it didn't quite work that way - because she was standing when she thought she'd be sitting, and so had left the rings with Phil while she walked down the aisle
She still called out her line when she supposed to, followed be a "err, uh- He does!" and scurried across the aisle to where Phil was sitting to get them. Sarah was mortified, everyone else loved it.
