Wren’s Nest: The Wedding


Written on May 24, 2007 at 9:46 am, by carson

Remember how Lain was worried sick about the wedding we were hosting at the Wren’s Nest on May 5th?

Well, it went great. It didn’t even rain. Not one drop!

The grandma of the bride had a wonderful time:

So did the groomsmen:

We had a mishap involving some tipsy bridesmaids:

But overall, the event met with overwhelming success.

When the bride rolled up in one of Willie Watkin’s vintage horse carriages, the guests looked on in silent awe. The house nodded. The magnolias curtsied. The amphitheater beamed. It was magical.

In fact, we should do this again! And again, and again! I mean, with grounds like these and attractive prices to boot, who wouldn’t want to get married here? Or host their next book club meeting, or family reunion, or poetry reading, or rock concert, or championship slip-n-slide competition?

Marshall and I feel we need to give our publicity efforts a little kick in the rump, because otherwise this gem of a venue is growing weeds with no good reason to pull them!

So, I’m going to make a flyer. And I’m going to give it to lots of people. And they’re going to rent out our grounds and have a fantastic time and tell all their friends that the Wren’s Nest is all the rage, just like parking spaces and online data storage!

Help us by spreading the word!

    Nope, we sure don’t, Gabe.

    I know first hand that Connecticut is absolutely nothing like Atlanta, let alone southwest Atlanta.

    That hat is amazing! She matched the decor without even trying.

    Those folks really know how to put on a wedding!
    As a former Yankee who attended lots of Italian weddings I was pretty disapointed when I came south and the reception was in the church hall and we were served punch and cookies.

    I would love to see a movie of this one. Way to go .
