Rhawnie & Steve - Wedding 5/31/08
Monday, June 2, 2008
We traveled up North this weekend for the wedding of Rhawnie and Steve in her hometown of Weed, California. Now, if you have never heard of Weed, you don't know what you are missing. This small town (population 3,000) is about 1 hour North of Lake Shasta, and the town sits basically at the base of Mt. Shasta. It is a little piece of Heaven.

The girls all looked gorgeous...and the backdrop for all of the photos, GORGEOUS !!!

I couldn't have asked for a nicer group of guys....they would do whatever I asked them to....
One of my favorites from the day....all their idea....
The side of the "beer truck" that was at the reception....
Cake topper
Ceremony on the pitchers mound....check out the storm moving in.
Here are a couple photos of Rizza's....
When we were planning our trip, we checked the weather and saw that there was a 30% chance of scattered T-storms. But being the optimists, we didn't bring umbrellas. Even when we stopped for lunch, we had a chance to buy some, but we looked at the sky and didn't think that it would rain that day........wow, were we completely WRONG !!!!
It was beautiful when we arrived at the local High School where the ceremony and reception were taking place. As lovers of baseball, Rhawnie and Steve decided to have their "baseball themed" wedding take place on the pitchers mound of the baseball field, where all of the guests would look on from the stands. The reception area was set up on the field. Long story short...as soon as Rhawnie and her Dad were about to walk down the aisle, the skies opened up and it started to sprinkle. Just after the ceremony we went to take photos on the adjacent field with Mt. Shasta as our backdrop. It took about 5 seconds for the rain to start pouring down and what was to be an outdoor reception on the lawn became a scramble to get everyone into the stands where it was dry and they could eat.
Rhawnie and Steve had a back-up plan....move everyone to the local Brewery for the remainder of the reception. A cute, local bar that had a ton of charm and they had the place all for themselves.
Rhawnie & Steve, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your wedding day. You reminded us what weddings are all about...fun, spontaneity, friends, family and two people who are truly meant for each-other.
Here are a few of my favorites from the day. We'll be posting some more next week, so come and visit the blog again....
