The bride and groom really wanted an outdoor wedding. Even though it was mid-October, the skies were partially clear and the rain held off so the ceremony took place on the stylish Novelty Hill/Januik Winery grounds. (Every time I see the bocci courts, I smile. My sisters and brother and I have participated in a tournament or two. We're not very good but it sure is fun.)
Lights were strung on the trees just in time for the early evening ceremony. There was magic in the air.
Most of the wedding photographs were taken before the ceremony. I think that is such a great idea. Erin and Randy had a "reveal" and could actually talk and hug and kiss. A sweet moment. Then, there were some formal photographs. Ladies first!
Then, the "guys!" So good to see that couples are choosing people from both genders who are important to them. In this case, Randy's sister.
All together!

Time for the ceremony to begin. Erin was stunning in a gown by Priscilla. And, her dad was bursting with pride.
There were serious words, loving words, and a few light-hearted words too.
Frank, one of the groomsman, presented a reading on friendship.
It
is often said that it is love that makes the world go round. However, without
doubt, it is friendship which keeps our spinning existence on an even keel.
After the vows and exchange of rings, the mothers presented the wines for the unity wine ceremony. What would be more appropriate for a wedding at a winery.
It was "crush" time at the winery. The smell of grapes and juice was intoxicating!
Then, it was time for some "bride and groom" photos. The lighting was very interesting, making for striking images.

I think it is impossible not to have a great wedding at Novelty Hill/Januik Winery. Dressed in this year's fashionable color, the ladies looked quite elegant in grey. And Lauren selected orange as her accent color. It was a great choice. Check out the reception hall photos.
