Rhiann and Haley photographed this wedding at the American Homestead in Naches, Washington. The day was full of sentiment, handmade details and laughter. The ring bearer carried an heirloom wedding ring on a pillow sewn by the bride. Since the groom is a firefighter, the bride used fabric remnants from a firefighter's uniform to create the one of a kind pillow. The couple put much time and love into designing a personal insignia and then branding it onto hand-crafted wooden wine-charms and coasters. The bride was involved in creating many of the wedding details, including a darling bride and groom cake topper from pine-cones!
Both the bride and groom have a great sense of humor and really enjoy a good laugh. The bride and her father-in-law had some fun at the groom's expense before the garter toss. The groom blindfolded himself before attempting to retrieve the garter, but as soon as he was blindfolded, the bride switched places with the groom's father. Family and friends enjoyed the practical joke immensely, almost as much as the bride did! Guests had many more opportunities for laughter during the money dance. The groom had served as the WSU mascot "Butch" during college, but was forbidden from telling anyone at the time. His friends had a sneaking suspicion it was him though, because they recognized some of the dance moves that "Butch" broke out at games. The money dance proved that this groom still has the moves! The dance required the groom to showcase his best moves with each of his buddies on the dance floor. Each dance turned into a competition to outdo the one before it. The performances became increasingly acrobatic and entertaining.
This happy couple has great chemistry and it was obvious to all that attended that they enjoyed every moment of their special day! Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Wakeman!
