Family seating for the wedding was made easy at this ceremony.  The bride wrote names on ribbons for each chair in the family rows.  Not only was this showing the chairs were reserved but helped grandparents and family know where to sit

She had “I Love You” written out in eight different languages. Each table had one of the markers and the table assignments were assigned accordingly.

This ring bearer found the candy ring on the pillow too much of a temptation to hold off taking a lick or two. Sometimes it is those candid photos that are the most precious. Now-a-days the ring bearer many times carries a fake ring, and the best man has the actual rings. This makes for less mishaps during the ceremony.

This Bride and Groom (Brady and Carla) decided instead of a unity candle or unity Sand to add a little humor by tying their feet together with a ball and chain at the end of their wedding ceremony. It was a surprise to their guest as they pulled it out of a box and attached it to their feet. It received quit a few laughs.

Jordana and Richard were married at Saguaro Buttes on January 31st. 2010 at 5:00 PM by pastor David Hallstrom. It was a beautiful Tucson evening with weather for their ceremony close to 70 degrees.  The groom and groomsman wore cowboy hats, and the bridesmaids wore red dresses.

Brady and Carla were married at Saguaro Buttes on January 30th. 2010, at 4:30 pm.  Their four children were both ring bearers and flower girls and Brady’s dad, Brian Kelly performed the ceremony.

Something new that we are offering at Saguaro Buttes at a minimal charge is “up lighting”. “Up lighting” consists of LED lights placed around the room, against the wall, that add color and atmosphere to the reception room at night. You have the choice of a variety of colors and as you can see in this photo, the lights on “pink”, positioned behind the head table.

Adding a little humor to the wedding reception, can be fun. Christopher Wagner got a surprise after the wedding ceremony when he walked in to see a large sock monkey sitting at his table. It was a gift from his father and I am sure it was an inside joke. Be careful not to go overboard though, a little humor done right is good, but going too far can be embarrassing.
