Shannon & Samantha's BIG day!

Now I have to just say that I said a prayer for this bride first thing Saturday morning. It was a miserable, rainy, cloudy, dreary ole' day. Although it's been said that it's lucky to have rain on your wedding day, I have a sneakin' suspicion that someone just made this up one day to calm down a hysterical bride, lol! I just knew Miss Samantha would be stressing. From the moment we met with her it was plain to see that she is a stickler for details and organization. Well, all of the prayers that were sent up worked! It poured the entire day; nothing by gray skies, then as Lana and I pull into the church parking lot, literally...the clouds parted, I kid you not! The sun came out; the sky transformed from a dismal gray hue to a beautiful sea blue. It was awesome! Sam was as calm as cucumber when I arrived. She was the least stressed of all of us I believe. And of course Mr. Shannon didn't have a care in the world. He just knew that when the clock struck 5pm he would be waiting down front for his beautiful bride.
The reception was held at Sugar Loaf Farms in Staunton. Wow, if you haven't had the pleasure of visiting this incredible landscape, you are truly missing out.



Never leave your bridesmaid's alone with your groom....lol!
