Unfortunately it rained all day on June 30th and the planned outdoor wedding at Legacy Park in Lees Summit had to be moved indoors. The rain did not stop Mary from being a happy and beautiful bride however and she had a great wedding in spite of the dreary weather outside.
One thing that was remarkable about this wedding was the elaborate food table that was prepared by the couple’s family and friends. It was as elaborate and attractive as anything I have ever seen done by a caterer. There was one long table that was laden with all kinds of vegetables, meats, fruit and and bread all attractively decorated amid several cheese and chocolate fountains.
Another wonderful aspect of this wedding was the musical talent displayed by the couple and the wedding party. Mary and Doug had belonged to a music organization in undergraduate school along with several members of their wedding party. They sang a song to each other during the ceremony and it was excellent. I know, how would a photographer know a good performance from a bad performance, well we hear a lot of them. They not only sang at the ceremony, they also delighted us at the reception singing with their vocal backups, most of whom were members of the wedding party. After I had finished up and I was ready to leave, they were still singing so I stuck around for a few songs just because they were so entertaining.
