Long after Frank and I drove back to Atlanta from Christine and Matthew’s wedding in Madison, GA, we were still talking about how beautiful it was and reflecting on all the dynamics of hosting a wedding reception in your own back yard.  We are always in awe of our brides and grooms AND ESPECIALLY THEIR PARENTS who are willing to take on such a monumental task!  Despite the obvious obstacles of weather (the most fear and stress-inducing hurdle), parking logistics, catering requirements, and even restroom facilities for the masses, the end result is unparalleled.  When all the details come together (with months of planning, creating, organizing, and help from awesome family, friends, and a fabulous behind the scene wedding planner team), it’s our HANDS DOWN favorite way to go!

Christine and Matthew were so relaxed and easy-going and their wedding day came off without a hitch! (or at least none that anyone would ever notice…)  :D  Enjoy!!

Christine was smiles all day long ~ her getting ready time at her home really did have that ‘Father of the Bride’ kind of atmosphere ~ how incredibly special!

Christine and Matthew decided to do a first look ~ all of our couples say it relieves those before-the-ceremony jitters!

The ceremony was held at Madison’s historic First United Methodist Church.

And then on to the Trulock Home for the grandest of receptions!

One of our favorite details of this wedding was the history behind Christine’s wedding dress.  She was actually the 5th bride to wear her dress!  Her grandmother’s best friend was the original owner of the dress, Christine’s grandmother wore it, her grandmother’s best friend’s daughter wore it, AND Christine’s MOM wore it!  And all of these lovely ladies are pictured below!  Isn’t that fabulous?!

Absolute Entertainment’s FULL TILT did an awesome job of keeping everyone rocking out on the dance floor!

What a wonderful day!  Congratulations and hugs to Christine and Matthew!!
