Today is Ben-and-Amanda's wedding! It will be an outdoor event at Indian Fort Theater, in a nice forested mountain environment near Berea. Beth has spent a great deal of time this year growing plants and flowers to decorate the event; we have about forty rectangular planters and at least that many additional pots (with diameters from 4 inches up to 30-something). It will take several round trips from our home to the theater to truck all the plants and flowers. The stage and steps and rock wall and pathways will be brightened with greenery and purple flowers! I shopped for this tie myself, finding a very suitable pattern called "Elegant Vine" with colors that match perfectly with what Beth is wearing. The portrait photo is not a good one; I will add a photo from the wedding later.
