Pics from this weekend's wedding

[Deleted]

My brother got married this past weekend. It was camo-themed, to an extent, redneck to an extent, and just.. interesting.  They didn't have a guest book, my brother made this bench for everyone to sign.  They had 20+ hay bales lining the hallway to get into the reception room.

ETA: Please don't quote pics, I will be DDing since it wasn't my wedding.

[LLL]

your brother made that? that's amazing. I know this post is supposed to be a little flamey but I love the idea of the guests signing a bench

Yes, he is a carpenter by trade. He lives for woodworking. He made an amazing dining room table for himself and a gun cabinet.

It was more tasteful than I imagined it being.  My bro and his groomsman, though, both walked into the reception with their camo baseball caps on.


ETA: The cake had the browning logo on it forming a heart with a buck/doe.


I deleted the photo of the two of them.

me too.

we had everyone sign a print to be framed, and then one of the waiters spilled water all over it.

The hay bales were stacked with pictures on each one of them over the past couple of years.


**poof**

It turned out to be more "rustic" themed than camo, aside from the tux vests.

Do you want people to talk shit about your brother's wedding? Or are you trying to show that it was a nice wedding? I'm confused.

I LOVE the bench and the entire idea of the bench. How sweet.

The rest isn't really my style, but I can appreciate that it is their style. And really, they pulled off their ideas well.

I am not looking for either. Pictures were requested when I mentioned the "theme" of the wedding in a different post, trying to decide on what I was going to wear, so I am following through with pictures.

I want to see a picture of you wearing your dress at this wedding.
Um please?

There were no photos of me taken at this wedding. Just one of the side of my head.  (none that have surfaced yet, anyway. The photog might have got one of me dancing with my bro)

I'm not a fan of the cake smashing but I think the centerpieces are cute and go nicely with the theme. :-)

He started to feed it to her nicely, but then she smashed it in his face so he felt compelled.

Also, I love the smell of hay, so I bet the reception probably smelled so nice.

That's one of the best smells. Still love it even though I'm allergic.

It looks like it was well put together. My BIL tried a similar theme and it looked like a tacky hoedown.

Were you over, under or appropriately dressed in the end?

Pretty much in the middle. Some were a lot more casual than I was, but others were more dressed up than I was. my Mom wore traditional MOG type dress, GMOB wore traditional. My dad's friend wore a camoflauge "dress shirt" but was really a flannel with jeans and a blazer, and some were just in jeans and blouses. Others were in dresses.

It was pretty much a pinterest wedding. She found a lot of what she did for it on there. The only non pinterest thing was the "name card holders" they were empty shotgun shells.

Your brothers looks much nicer than my BILs.

That pic on the farm equipment makes me think of Jake G in Brokeback Mountain. LOL

This is not helping people believe that we're a legit city, Reanna!
