Wedding Weekend

26 08 2010

A few weeks back, we had the pleasure of attending Katie and Cheese’s wedding. Cheese (known as Matt to some) has been a part of the Raves’ family since Brian and Jonathan were little kids. We call him Cheese, well, because frankly I’ve never seen anyone who likes cheese more than he does. In fact, they even had cheese curds with their cocktail hour! The ceremony itself took place on the beautiful shoreline of Lake Erie. It was a gorgeous wedding and the weather could not have been more beautiful! Here are some picture of Cheese and Katie on their special day:

As you can see, the setting could not have been more perfect. After the ceremony, we all enjoyed a cocktail hour outside while the Tyler Bender Band (yay) played some tunes for us. As usual, they were awesome. Here’s a picture of them playing in the gazebo:

Soon after the band was done playing, we went inside for the reception. I wish I had a picture of the empty hall to show you how gorgeous it was decorated. One of the best parts of the reception, besides eating and seeing the bride and groom, was Cheese’s mannequin. Yes, Cheese has his very own mannequin, Barbara. He brought her along for the big day to greet guests. She even got to wear her very own bridesmaid’s dress.

Barbara...need I say more

Another really neat idea that Katie and Cheese had was to set up a photo booth type area with a professional photographer. Here is the result:

The Raves and Woomers. I love these families!

Thank you so much Katie and Cheese for allowing us to be part of your special day, it was so much fun!
