    On Sunday, February 2, My lovely niece Madelyn and her sweet fiancé Brady were married,
Picture
...at the Everal Barn, a pretty, rustic venue in Westerville, Ohio
Picture
     The wedding preparations were a labor of much love for Brady and Madelyn's family and friends,
...and on Sunday morning after Tom and I picked up the flowers,
Picture
...we joined the others who, under the direction of Brady, the groom, here with his brother and Best Man Jacob,
Picture
...were setting up the barn for the 3pm wedding, putting on the chair covers,
Picture
...and table cloths,
Picture
...on the first floor and the balcony.
Picture
      We put together the center pieces and table numbers,
Picture
Picture
...strung lights and garland,
Picture
     Donald, the father of the bride,
Picture
...set up a pine tree hung with wedding favor ornaments for the guests,
Picture
Picture
...set up the sound system,
Picture
...and put on all the finishing touches.

    And little by little the barn was transformed into a magical place.
      The balcony.
Picture
Picture
     At around 1pm some of us left to go home and change for the wedding while some of us stayed to take care of the last-minute details,
Picture
...and hold down the fort.
Picture
Picture
      A little before 3pm everything was ready.
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and soon the guests began arriving.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and signing the Guest Board, which announced that Brady would soon change his name to Madelyn's.
      The buffet, provided by City Barbeque, was set up in the basement,
...along with a table of cookies provided by friends and relatives,
Picture
Picture
...and where a table had been set up in memory of departed loved ones who were with the families in their hearts. 
Picture
      When the moment arrived, the wedding party entered.
Picture
Picture
...followed by the groom and the bride, each accompanied by their parents.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     Madelyn and Brady's friend Carrie was the officiant and family members and friends spoke during the service, which was lovely and heartfelt.

       After the wedding, while the bridal party departed for pictures, the guests went downstairs for hors d'oeuvres and socializing.
Picture
Picture
      We then returned upstairs to greet the bride and groom on their return,
...then we all spent the evening feasting,
Picture
Picture
...socializing,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...eating cake,
Picture
...cut and served by my sister-in-law Mary Jane and myself,
Picture
...dancing,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and more dancing.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
     Then our evening of celebrating came to an end, and it was time for us to turn the magical place  back into a barn.
Picture
Picture
     Still, on such a happy night it was hard to stop dancing.
