Rebecca and Martin decided to accept their uncle and aunt's offer to have their wedding at their house in Austin. They had wanted a backyard wedding and a gourmet hot dog picnic and chose the theme of bees and honey. Rebecca and Martin chose well for who they are. They were able to be light hearted and casual all day. Their ceremony was rained out so they had to do the ceremony inside the house and not outside on the deck. I think she was a little disappointed but that quickly faded into the big smiles she had ALL day! I've almost never seen a bride with so many big smiles and so relaxed on her wedding day. Martin also was so happy and their families were so warm and loving. They were so supportive of the two of them and really made the wedding a family affair literally taking care of every detail themselves including putting all their furniture in the garage to make room for the guests and wedding decorations. It's not something everyone would do, not because they love their children any less, but this was the way that they chose to celebrate and it made them shine in love! Enjoy! By the way, my blog is freaking out and not putting the photos in order...I'm really sorry.
The cakes were from "Nothing Bundt Cakes" in Austin and they ordered them the day before and stacked three big ones to form the bridal cake.
Rebecca had a big smile like this most of the day and I love these candids of her after she put her veil on.
Bridesmaids and wedding shoes in style!
Little bees were everywhere in the details and in her hair too!
An aunt made the flowers.
Adriel, the maid of honor, stitched her handkerchief.
They kept their rings in his golf shoes and thus made this to carry their rings into the ceremony.
Gorgeous dress tea length and so classy!
Aggie Man!
The groom and his best man have been best buddies for life and neighbors growing up!
The cakes. The groom's cake was supposed to resemble the Aggie bonfire.
Rebecca was an art education major and she created the art work that was on display all over the house with the bees and honey theme.
