Spencer & Joylin

The anxiously awaited day has come and gone.  They are now Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Cook and we couldn't be happier for the newlyweds!  I thought I'd share the pictures I have, though not many, maybe they will give you a glimpse into the day...

The day before the wedding, Joanna and I made a eucalyptus garland to go on the pallet backdrop on stage.  Joylin built the backdrop with the help of a few brothers and it turned out amazing!  

The Strite's had lots of half gallon ball jars from when they delivered milk in glass jars and Joylin wanted to incorporate them into the decorations somehow so we filled them with flowers and lined the isle with them.

Joylin made a scrapbook with pictures of her and Spencer and then the guests signed the pages.

Here comes the Bride!

"the kiss!"

These were the centerpieces at the reception.  The little boxes on the tables were filled with pretzels for guests to snack on before the meal was served.

This picture is from the night before the wedding.  There was a jar of sugar and a cute pitcher of cream by the coffee.  The drink dispenser was filled with water and there was a dish of lemons where the tongs are.

Joylin wrote the Menu sign... all the food was delicious.  

The sauces for the spaghetti were homemade and oh so yummy!

The breadsticks from Olive Garden were enjoyed by all, especially Benaiah! :)

The backdrop from the church was transported to the reception hall and the middle section was used behind the couple's sweetheart table.  We also added the "C" at the reception to stand for their last name, Cook.

 Speeches were given by the Dads, Best Man, and Maid of Honor.

The two side pieces of the backdrop were set up behind the cookie bar and the Love is Sweet banner was added.  Since the Strite's have a dairy farm it was only fitting to have fresh milk along with the cookies on the dessert bar!  Jessica, Joylin's older sister, made 50 dozen cookies the week of the wedding.  5 different delicious kinds were enjoyed by all, peanut butter, chocolate chip, chocolate krinkle, ginger snaps, and oatmeal raisin.

Joylin also wrote this sign for on the dessert bar...

The happy couple!

They are enjoying a honeymoon cruise and will be back in two weeks for Joel and Joanna's wedding.
