Real Leavenworth Weddings Sneak Peak | Natalie and Dan

It was another perfect evening for a rehearsal dinner at Pine River Ranch, and Natalie and Dan and their wedding party and families took full advantage of it.

The kids were hard at work in their John Deer making sure everything was in place!

The Rehearsal went wonderfully with no major hiccups, and I am feeling quite comfortable that things will go great tomorrow. Afterwards they took full advantage of the extended wedding lawn by choosing to have their rehearsal dinner outside in the long cast shadows of the Ponderosa Pines.

After dinner a large group of those who are spending the night with us, took advantage of the lawns outside Chelan suite as they chatted away the time till the sun retired for the day as it settled, ever so slowly, behind Nason Ridge and the shadows of the day gave way to the impending darkness of the last night before the wedding of Natalie and Dan.

All is now quiet and the mornings pastry is cooling on the kitchen counter as we call it another day and retire for the evening, looking forward to another wonderful wedding here at the Ranch.

All is ready to go for the Wedding Ceremony! Congrats Natalie and Dan!

"Real Weddings" Molly and Josh

Friday night Josh and Molly had a great rehearsal followed by an evening dinner outside on our wedding lawn in the cool shade of the large ponderosa pine trees on the West side of the barn. The shade, and the light breeze was just enough so the 90 degree weather was very comfortable. A large part of the wedding party and families finished out the evening enjoying 'evening' beverages on the front porch of the Ranch House, till the dark hours of night rolled in.

Saturday was the perfect day for their wedding, the cloudy morning lifted into a sunny afternoon and the weather was perfect, the lawns are beautiful, and the flowers are exploding with color.

The guest recieved a great suprise when Molly made her grand entrance, she was delivered Bareback by Vivy the horse, directly to the ceremony.

Although I do love horses here at the Ranch and think Vivy is quite beautiful, Molly did outshine her in her stunning dress!

(I don't have a photographer to thank for these shots because I quickly snapped them myself, so Molly and Josh, when you get your photos back I would love some images by the professionals to feature!)

The perfect evening continued after the ceremony as we all had hordouvres, and refreshments on the lawns around the barn. As the evening progressed we all moved up into the barn for the dinner supplied by a favorite local catering company Ravenous Catering. From that point on it was toasts, celebrations, music, dancing, cake, and throwing of a few items to awaiting single persons.


Now a quiet week to recover and a few more projects to finish up here at Pine River Ranch. We are building privacy screens and deck awnings on the private porches of Nason, Natapoc, Lodgepole and Ponderosa suites. I almost forgot to mention that the lawns around the Waterfall and pond have come up and we shall have more mowable lawns in the near future!
