On one of our Canada trips we spotted this happy little fellow bouncing around the garden from petal to petal. We’ll leave our bouncing bee friend on the blogs during the spring to symbolize all that we love about this time of year. Life’s new beginnings with nature showing new starts and growth, as the warm sunshine continues its trek toward summer. Yes it’s that time of season, love is in the air. Are you a soon to be bride, one of the lucky ones that will be walking down the aisle this year with petals adorning your way? Time is ticking away. Is your wedding in the fall, or perhaps just a few months away, or maybe already April or May? Now is the time to make that “to do list.” And if you already have a list, good for you! So the next question would be, how’s it coming along? Anything you can do now, you should, you’ll be happy that you did. And from experience, everyone around you surely will be delighted seeing your beautiful wedding plans all laid out leading up to the big day as well.

Rorry and Doug are two happy newlyweds, they tied the knot two weeks ago in what was thought to be an engagement party by the guests. You can imagine the guest’s surprise when midway through the evening celebrations, an announcement was made and moments latter Rorry and her two children were “walking down the aisle” as part of their back yard surprise wedding. Now that was some wedding planning by Rorry and Doug. They celebrated their gorgeous day without a “hitch,” Rorry pulled it together and had wonderful help from her immediate family without the word getting out to anyone. You know the couple loves life just seeing them around each other and the rest of the party. And the party is just getting started. Celebrations after the wedding were spent in their lovely, spacious back yard with family and friends, and not a dry eye was left after all the laughter, fine spirits, and more than a baker’s dozen of good stories.
