Fast forward to the wedding day and here are the newlyweds.

But let’s back up just a bit to earlier that morning. It was clear how close Molly’s family was to each other. The morning was filled with Mom helping and lots of hugging.

The flowers and details were beautifully chosen. I met up with Samuel and the guys later that day.

Because of their tight schedule after the ceremony, they allowed me to photograph them earlier in the day. Here are the two meeting for the first time. The mood was joyful and happy as the took a few moment to themselves. Samuel is twirling Molly around.

And off to Win Shape Retreat for some photos of the two.

Molly’s Dad arranged for a vintage Rolls Royce to transport the newlyweds for the day.

The ceremony at the Berry College chapel was moving with participation by so many close friends and family.

During the reception, Sam (Molly’s brother this time) performed. The reception was held at the Ford Dining Hall.

At sundown, they rolled away in the Rolls Royce to their honeymoon.

One of the most familiar statements I heard throughout the entire day was “you have Fat Tire?!” I’m not much of a beer drinker enough to appreciate what the big deal Fat Tire was to everyone. But it sure put a smile to each person when they realized Fat Tire was in the house.

Here’s Beth in the morning preparing for the wedding with the help of her family. She was calm and collected. Well, knowing her for years, it’s not uncommon.

At Lake Winfield Scott, Beth and Doug had their ceremony. It was a beautiful afternoon as the lake provided for a scenic backdrop with a fresh mountain lake breeze.

And here’s the newlyweds shortly after the ceremony.

In the earlier post, I showed their wedding rings. Doug’s ring is apparently made with carbon-fiber or some high-tech bike technology. Sorry, I’m not up to speed with the latest greatest bike technology as mine was bought over a decade ago. Nevertheless, his ring was pretty darn amazing, perhaps even super light. I guess that’s when he took it off to show one of the guests. Without being there when it happened, the ring must have floated off his hand and landed on the deck, falling into the cracks. I came shortly after this happened to see him try to fish up the ring.

With determination, he was able to retrieve it before the crowbars were needed.

Beth and Doug didn’t have just one wedding cake, they had seven cakes; chocolate six ways and a delicious carrot cake.

I had to photograph this girl as she seemed to be able to best express what a lovely day it was in the North Georgia mountains.

And lastly, a view of the two of them in their back yard as the sun slowly sets over the mountain top.

Here’s just a taste of the view we all enjoyed during the wedding day.

There’s a story that I’ll have to describe in more detail about Doug’s ring. But that will have to wait for a later date.

I’ll post more photos soon.
