Alicia's headpiece/veil was sweet! Her grandmother hand made it and Alicia's mom wore it at her wedding! How cool that Alicia got to wear it too? And she totally pulled it off with style! She also wore a pin in her hair that was her great-great-grandmother's. Alicia's great-grandmother,, grandmother, mom and each of her sisters wore at their weddings as well! How cool to have a piece of that kind of history!
The ceremony was held in York at this little quaint church out in the country, followed by a romantic horse and carriage ride from the church to the farm where the reception was held. Alicia's family bought this cute farm and restored the barn and fixed the place up real nice! It was the perfect location for these two horse lovers. They entered down the long windy lane being lead by her dad on the bagpipes and David's brother on the drum. It was such a magnificent entry!!
Now, it's not often that I cry at weddings, but this one I couldn't help myself! Alicia had a special dance with her grandfather in honor of her grandmother who couldn't be there. The recording was of Alicia's great grandfather playing the piano and at the end he came on with a special message. Alicia's grandfather had not heard the recording in 40 years!! Explains why it was such an emotional moment for her dad's family, especially with the recording of his voice at the end! Hearing this old raspy voice come on, it was like it took you back to those olden days...you could even hear the crackling in the recording. Ahhhh...it was soooo sweet! I don't think there was a dry eye in the place.
Thanks guys for such an awesome day! It was a blast!!!
