Brigid and Geoff fell in love with the architecture of the Crocker Pond House at first glance. It was designed and built by the owner Stuart Crocker. They could not have asked for better weather, it was a beautiful day in the mid 70's - perfect for an outdoor ceremony & reception. They day was very relaxed, I don't think I've ever seen such a calm bride and groom, Brigid even had time to sit, relax and read a book. The ceremony started at 4:30 followed by a cocktail hour and then dinner under a tent on the lawn. The reception was slated to go until about 1am with lots of dancing. One of the highlights of the reception was the Bourbon Toast. The bride is originally from Kentucky so naturally it was Kentucky bourbon for the toasts. There were some great speeches by one of the bridesmaids, the father of the groom, father of the bride and an impromptu toast by a guest about Kentucky having "great bourbon, fast horses and beautiful women - or as the guys say it great bourbon, fast women and beautiful horses". One of the other events I heard rumor that was planned to occur that night was a 1am Hash Run. The bride, groom, father of the bride and a fair share of the guests belong to the Hash House Harriers which is a "drinking group with a running problem" in which the "hare" lays a confusing trail for the "hounds" to follow. There are plenty of false trails and dead ends and a lot of merriment.
Here's the photos!
