Ali and Zach

What an amazing couple and a beautiful wedding. My wife, Rebecca, and I enjoyed an incredible weekend at the Lodge of the Four Season celebrating with Ali and Zach last Saturday. The bad weather held off and made for a picuture perfect ceremony on the outside terrace overlooking the lake.
Even though there were some last minute changes made at the rehearsal, Ali and Zach handled it like pros and didn't let the stress dampen their spirits. The rehearsal itself went well and we finished just 2 minutes over my hour time frame for any rehearsal. I consider this good with 14 attendants, several family members, 3 ushers, and a very excited flower girl. The rest of the evening was spent enjoying good food and conversation with family members who traveled from North Carolina.
The day of the ceremony was even better. With all 160 seats being filled and some people even standing, there was no doubt that Zach and Ali were loved and supported as they began this new stage of life together. The processional went just like we rehearsed and even Sparky, Zach and Ali's collie, walked down with no problems. Though we started about 5 minutes late, there were laughs and smiles throughout the whole ceremony. The photographer, Travis Duncan, was very helpful and did an excellent job the whole weekend. I am looking forward to seeing the finished product.
After pictures and the cocktail hour, Zach and Ali enjoyed an evening of fun and dancing with all their friends and family. It was a wonderful weekend and I wish Zach and Ali all the best and good luck in all the future endeavors.
