Some of you might think a daytime wedding to be a naturally tame event.

Well, you need to think again!

Renee and Jeffrey’s midday wedding at The Retreat at Hiawassee River in North Georgia was anything but tame, partly because the bride’s energy was off the charts from start to finish. But, mostly because the wedding guests came ready to celebrate.

Friends and family alike shared the excitement of the day with smiles and hugs, cheers and laughter. A few of the older guests had to take a break, but managed to hit the dance floor with gusto later in the afternoon.

A whisky tasting bar gave everyone the opportunity to sample from several bottles of the potent beverage. After a barbeque meal and a few samples, any reluctance to dance and sing went by the wayside. Young and old alike twisted and shimmied, crooned and shouted, line danced and congaed.

After a bouquet toss (caught by the bride’s sister), the wedding concluded with a bubble exit in front of a rustic barn.
