My Son’s Rustic Barn Wedding with his Sweetheart
As they began to say their vows, raindrops fell but only for the briefest of showers…so the ceremony continued and they became Mr. and Mrs. to our great joy!

Planning an elopement resulted in major stress, until the doors opened at Prospect Hill Inn, which promised 18th century charm, tranquility, and ease.
Knowing each other for a few years, W became a great friend and confidante during some trials in my life, similar to what he, himself, had previously faced.
Since we both like reading, writing, and history, conversation turned to the historic events that transpired at Gadsby’s, including Washington and Lafayette.
I was excited my daughter and I would both be wearing vintage styled dresses, inspired by Givenchy fashions Audrey Hepburn wore in her movies!
When my daughter couldn’t find her dream wedding dress on-line, I told her I could sew a bespoke gown like Audrey Hepburn’s.
The last few years have been exceedingly troubled for my family. Yet through it all they fell in love, he proposed, and she said yes.
This week the kids and I are moving our stuff into storage units, one for each of us, then my daughter gets married while my son and I look for a place to live.
While my son set up his camera for engagement photos for his sister and her fiance, she took pictures of my dress with my phone.
Remembering 2004 when I led my young children on their first journey through the historic area, I had fun watching my kids carry on the tradition.
