April 16, 2011 The warm, beautiful summer day of April 16, 2011 created a gorgeous backdrop for the wedding of Jimmy McCarty and Kara Nathe. The ceremony, which took place at a friend’s country cabin in the middle of a large field, began around 4pm. Old fashioned church pews, and hay barrels with country quilts were provided for seating. Kara, the bride, along with her bridesmaids, entered by a horse carriage and was met by her father at the entrance of the isle. The bridesmaids were in strapless teal summer dresses, with yellow ribbon belts, and the groomsmen were dressed casually in khaki pants with white button up shirts. As for Kara’s wedding dress, it was a stunning strapless, fitted mermaid silhouette with subtle beading and rousing around the waist. In addition, the bride wore cowgirl boots with her grandmother’s wedding rings attached by a ribbon. Instead of the traditional bridal march, Kara walked down the isle to Travis Tritt’s, “Love of a Woman.” The ceremony itself was short, but very sweet.
Since the reception area was under a large tent right next to where the ceremony had taken place, everyone just migrated there for cocktail hour while the bridal party had their pictures taken. One unique aspect of the reception was at every table, there were paper placemats with different questions about the bride and groom. Each person at the table was to fill out the already three-hole punched placemats and put them on a table in the front. At the end of the night, the placemats were put into a binder, which created their guestbook. The reception area itself was lovely, with the couple’s logo on the dance floor, and a cupcake tower that made up their wedding cake. What made this wedding so beautiful was the simple elegance, and natural surroundings. The love between the couple, and the love for them from their family could be felt all around the room.
