Wedding Warriors

Another weekend out touring local wedding sites! After another little ice event on Friday we weren't sure what the rest of the weekend would bring but Mother Nature was on our side. Saturday the inlaws, newlyweds and myself treked out to the Barnes at Wolf Trap and then over to the officers club at Ft. Belvoir. Amanda's love for Wolf trap seemed to have wained but not her love for a wedding in a barn.. The officers club was very beautiful but from the look on her face it wasn't fitting her vision of "casual elegance". It was very formal and she felt out of place.. she's not military wasn't brought up military and has no frame of reference to the whole "on post- on base" mentality.

Not to be discouraged today we headed out to Bluemont-- to yet another Barn on a vineyard. The views were gorgeous, the barn was barny and the folks were very pleasant to work with. I think we found her a place with character, with an out of doors to match that is very casual but that she can put her spin of elegance on.
