Just back from one of the most personal and charming weddings I've been to in a long time. Courtney Denney, Austin's sister, and Douglas
Mulford wed last night in
Douglasville, GA. The vows, cocktail hour, and dinner were all at Le
Jardin Blanc, a late 1800's home on 12 acres near downtown
Douglasville. The rain held off long enough for the service and celebration to occur and the weather was unseasonably cool, which was great for some of the northern relatives who kept commenting on how humid it was. The service was made memorable for several reasons but noteably the train that interrupted the vows --later it was explained by Mr. Mclure that this was sign that Courtney would have to "train" Doug...bah-dam-dam.
Le
Jardin Blanc's grounds were magnificent -- cottage chic and classically elegant at the same time. Behind the main house was a dance floor made of black and white weathered
pavers to
resemble a checker board pattern. Cafe tables resembling those found outside a Paris cafe hugged the outside of the dance floor and were bordered by lines of boxwood, tea roses, and whimsical touches. It was ideal and something I think my friend
Erin Melick would appreciate a great deal because of its hints of France here and there.
Erin Kane and I could probably run a joint like this someday. Check out Le
Jardin Blanc's website:

Austin's family stormed the dance floor after the father-daughter dance and brought to life the the highly anticipated moves of W.W. Austin's grandmother, Ruth Austin Denney, got up to shake a tail feather, too! They are a jovial crowd and made sure that I felt like one of the family. I got to meet his Aunt Anne, Uncle Marty, see his "cousin" Bill and his little girl, Beatrice, as well as his "uncle" Bill and his wife Jane. Sounds like we might be making a trip up to New York to visit them in September when they make their signature wine called "Ten to Go." Needless to say, we are excited about the invitation!
