Live As Though

From my Great Aunt Anna's photo albums

*

I never knew my Great Aunt Anna. When I inherited her photos and her diaries, I investigated her by looking and reading and imagining. I feel as though the young woman, the woman whose life is evidenced in the above photo, is vivid to me. She never married and never had children. Perhaps she, particularly, is living again through me.

"And that's how we measure out our real respect for people - by the degree of feeling they can register, the voltage of life they can carry and tolerate - and enjoy. End of sermon. As Buddha says: live like a mighty river. And as the old Greeks said: live as though all your ancestors were living again through you."

- Ted Hughes

We loved how Maddie and her bridesmaids bouquets were so vibrant and full of color. The Groom wore a navy blue suit with a pink paisley tie which matched perfectly to our blooming rhododendron.

This couple had such a fun time with both friends and family and really enjoyed the mansion to its fullest with cocktails and dancing on the terrace and dining in the ballrooms. Their amazing photographer Zach Wolf found some fantastic “nooks” on our grounds that resulted in breathtaking photos.  Enjoy a glimpse into Maddie and Will’s fantastic wedding day!

Her color scheme was pinks of all shades, corals, oranges,and white. The colors were represented in the rose petals on the aisle, in the bouquets her girls carried, and in the place setting on the tables. She also had some really fun personal touches like a special draft beer as a favor for every guest, and a pizza bar for a late night snack.  Yum!  Congratulations to the happy couple!
