October is becoming one of the most popular months for weddings.
In part, this is due to the glorious weather and the wondrous and fragrant flowers that romantically bloom as each couple walk down their aisle of love and enchantment.
Some of the most beautiful, fun, memorable and wonderful weddings have been right at home, and we had the honor and privilege to attend a fabulous and unforgettable one...and we want to share with you, our readers...
This wedding took place during the glorious and golden season of Fall...and perhaps, our planning couples can get some ideas for their own weddings...
Amid the lush and rustic beauty of the magnificent central Pennsylvania countryside, we journeyed over the scenic Seven Mountains to witness a truly loving twosome, Doug and Patti Bair, pledge their eternal vows of love to one another.
In a touching and very private ceremony witnessed by members of their immediate families, tears of joy and happiness flowed during their very sweet, traditional and moving promises of "I DO"...
After the handsome groom kissed his beautiful bride, their precious young nephew, Dakota Bair, proclaimed, "It's time to party all night!" and we sure did party on the spacious and lovely grounds of the Bair estate.
Even Doug and Patti's loveable canine, Sarah Bair, wagged her tail, perpetually, in approval and totally enjoyed the day as she very happily mingled among the guests!
A legion of relations and friends came to celebrate this wonderful union bearing gifts of delectable food to add to the smorgasboard of goodies and oh what a feast it was!
On the grand menu, were: Aunt Louise's baked golden corn casserole, which did her sweet Mother, Violet's memory, proud; Aunt Mary Lou and Uncle John's 'authentic' Italian lasagna, Aunt Carol's German Potato Salad, just like her beloved Mom used to dazzle her family with; Brother Matt and Jenna's homemade sausage and green peppers in sauce and Italian buns, John and Mark's famous Italian meatballs and foccacia bread and a corucopia of treats from Addison, Harrison and Nathan's parents, and Sister Leslie and Chris, and Sister Maxie and Wade, to add to the bountiful extravaganza!
The awesome and dapper Cubby Bair, Father of the Groom, fabulously lending his 'Ace Bartending' expertise provided the finest in libations for each and every taste.
With the bride and groom being avid Penn State Lions fans, the theme was a wedding tailgate party and the wedding colors were Nittany blue and white.
Even the Lions came through and contributed to the merriment, winning big time, 52-3, for the newly-married Bairs!
Lions and Bairs and Weddings...oh my!
Readers, A wedding is a wedding is a wedding and no matter when or where your wedding takes place, or how many are on the guest list, wedding tradition will always take center stage, and the bride and groom and their families go through all of the same wedding motions in planning their Big Day, whether your invitees number 15, 50 0r 500...and the beautiful Bairs wedding was no exception...
The new Mrs. Bair's, "something old" was a family heirloom piece of jewelry from her Mom, tucked into her flowers; "something new" was her beautiful ring, a gift from her Groom, "something borrowed" were earrings from her new Mother-in-Law, Linda, "something blue" was a Penn State garter for her
Groom, Doug, to remove, and a "lucky penny for her shoe" was given to Patti by her new nephew, Dakota, who made certain the shiny copper coin captured the year of Doug and Patti's wedding...2009.
With the melodic strains of "Fight On Penn State," and the "Pennsylvania Polka" in the background, along with music to please all the generations in attendance, so much fun, laughter, frivolity and merriment rang out from every corner of the splendrous Bair estate.
Doug and Patti Bair's wedding day was topped off with a coffee, tea and cocoa bar and s'mores made over a warm fire by the Bair family and enjoyed by all as the newlyweds prepared to sail off on their honeymoon aboard the Royal Princess Cruise Lines to the magnificent islands in the Caribbean.
As evidenced on the faces of the guests, this truly was a celebration where a grand time was enjoyed by all.
We, at Yes, We Cater, toss bouquets of happiness forever after to Doug and Patti Bair...
May all of the joy and bliss you felt in your hearts on
Saturday, October 10, 2009, remain with you both for always...
A toast to the Bride and Groom...God bless Doug and Patti Bair...
