From the bride, Laurel:
As avid hunters and fishermen, we love the outdoors so we knew we wanted an outdoor wedding in the mountains. My dad drove me to the ceremony in his beloved red 1949 Dodge pickup, a truck I admired and loved as well.
We lined the ceremony aisle with vases of pink and green flowers hanging from shepherd hooks. We had purchased 20,000 rose petals and were going to make mounds of petals on each side of the aisle, but we ran out of time and just quickly scattered them in the middle of the aisle.
Favors were small jars of honey from Honeyville accented with black and pink ribbon.
MEMORABLE MOMENT
My dad handed me the keys to his beloved red Dodge, our wedding present!

It rained all morning, and we were very concerned that the wedding would have to be moved inside. Luckily, things cleared up in the nick of time and we had our ceremony on the slightly soggy deck as planned. We had both prepared ourselves for the mishaps that were sure to come, and were shocked at how smoothly it all went. Much of this is owed to our wedding coordinator at 
For favors, we put together a small bag of loose soil containing rosemary & daisy seeds, and included a small flowerpot. Our flower choice is a bit of an inside joke – Lucas is a farmer, so plants and flowers are near and dear to his heart. We used copious amounts of rosemary (which of course, is me) and daisies (for Lucas) in the wedding. The scientific name for a daisy is “Leucanthemum,” which is the closest thing we could find to “Lucas” in the plant world. Daisies are bright and colorful, so we were happy to choose them as our wedding flower.
