Talk about a Barn Burner of a day!

AWWWWWWW !

Live from the beautiful foothills of Northern California……it’s the wedding of Patrick and Halley!  The amazing countryside was the perfect spot for this great young couple to Tie the Knot.  The hottest day of the year was the beginning for this wonderful wedding.  The friendly staff at RIVER HIGHLANDS RANCH and VINEYARD  had the barn house and ceremony site looking amazing.  Perfect for this country couple!  When the Ceremony was about to begin the temperature was over 110 degrees…..but country people…..GET ‘ER DONE!  The ceremony was so charming……and so personal to both Halley and Patrick.

After the nuptials…its was into the Air Conditioning!!!!  The grand entrance came as the couple walked thru the 2 huge doors to there friends and family that awaited their arrival!   Hugs and Kisses all around for everyone.   Dinner followed shortly there after with some good ol’ Barbecue!  Country music filled the air as dinner was enjoyed by everyone…..and some COLD drinks!

As dinner concluded the toasts were made by the maitron of honor and best man…as well as the parents.   Lastly Patrick thanked the parents and all the guests for helping them and being there to share there special day.  With the toasting over, we moved on to the very first dance as husband and wife.   Aaron Watson- Next To Heaven, was the choice for this couple to start there life together.  Pat twirled and spun his bride around the dancefloor like a good cowboy should.  The special dances with Dad/Brother(bride) and mom (groom) followed for both Halley and Patrick.   As the party was about to kick off….the heat was too much and the power WENT OUT!  But…….not even a county wide power outage could stop this party.   We took the party out and did it country style.  With the tables under the stars and the guests relaxing with a cold drink, we sprang into action and even got the party going with no power.   Experience and the right equipment, we got the dancing going under the stars.   Overall it was a great time and Halley and Patrick looked so happy at the end of the night.  Thanks to them and there family for sharing there special day with us here at Riptide Entertainment.
