Welcome to a very special edition of Sunday Smiles A Bicycle Built For Two.
This is my handsome nephew Mark. Our family had begun to think he was going to forever remain a confirmed bachelor.
But good things do indeed come to those who wait.
Mark was just waiting for his beautiful bride, Molly.
Mark and Molly were recently married at the Wolf Feather Honey Farm in Temecula, California.
The Bride Wore Pink
I absolutely adore that the bride looked to her surroundings and chose a beautiful vintage coral pink gown for her special day. The white lace accents at the neckline and waist are stunning.
Mark is the son of my wonderful brother, Sandy (Norman), and lovely sister in law, Shirley.
The Ceremony
While the day was a bit overcast and drizzly, nothing could dampen their joy. It also created the most lovely photos captured by Diana Lake Photo.
The teepee-shaped altar was covered in peonies, ranunculus, kumquats, and roses accented with dusty miller and eucalyptus.
The ceremony over, it was now time to party!
The bride and groom rode down the aisle in style on a bicycle built for two.
Friends and family members had been given bike bells to chime them on.
Dinner In The Orchard Grove
The outdoor barbeque was enjoyed by everyone in the orchard grove.
The bridal table was layered with a simple white cloth and a garland of lovely leaves and blooms.
The nearby farmhouse was the epitome of Boho chic.
Wedding Cake
The lovely cake, made by Riot Cake, was adorned with cascading ranunculus and kumquats.
The Reception
Not everyone can say they had Winston the goat at their reception.
But fun was had by all those in attendance.
Best wishes to Mark and Molly!
May you have forever happiness and health,
Auntie Laura

Mark and Molly are the poster children for imaginative, completely creative, independent (they create their own trends) and they are both gorgeous. Geez…all of life ahead of them. I think it is brilliant to wait like people used to back in the 1800s, make these decisions as adults when they have much to offer each other. The wedding party picture has to be the best one I’ve ever seen and the pink/coral dress…well, that is just pure class. I loved this.

Laura,
What a beautiful wedding. Did I miss reading that you were able to attend? Riding a bicycle for two down the aisle must portend a life full of laughter and adventure for them.
