Mrs. Husky's Picture
Mrs. Husky, Denver Age and Occupation: 26, Systems Administrator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 32, Mechanical Engineer, recently laid off Engagement Date: August 14, 2009 Wedding Date: October 2010 Venue: Rancho San Carlos About Me: I am planning a quirky-crafty wedding with my recently out-of-work fiancé for a (fingers crossed!) warm October afternoon. We are two self-professed nerds with an affinity for all things outdoors---be it rain, snow or shine. Recently relocated from the drizzly Northwest, we're enjoying the many sun-soaked days in the mile high city. Our day will be filled with both of our large families and friends, a self-served Cajun feast, and a Zydeco-style jazz band rocking beneath the beams of a historic red barn.
About Mrs. Husky

After the bouquet toss and a bit more barn-stompin’, Mr. Husky announced that he would be enjoying a bottle of Basil Hayden’s and an Ashton maduro cigar on the front porch, and welcomed any interested guests to join.

Yes, that is a baby bottle nipple atop the bottle of whiskey, but I can assure you the baby did not imbibe.

Quite a few folks were indeed interested in joining, and I think a large majority of the remaining guests ended up on the porch with us.

We also used this opportunity to distribute gifts to our wonderful friends who truly went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect.

We all raised our glasses (and gifts) into a group toast:

And then it was time for our photographers to leave.

As we prepared to return to the barn, a sudden light-bulb appeared: We hadn’t signed our marriage license yet! I have no idea why we didn’t do it right away; too distracted, I suppose. Obviously the lighting was not in our favor, and the professional lenses of our photographer were long gone.

We tucked the license into our wine box, and returned to the barn for the after-party.

Yay for after-parties! I’m sorry if I missed this in a previous post, but where did you acquire the cigars? Mr. Tartlet has mentioned a few times wanting to have some at our wedding, but I have no idea how to go about getting them. *embarassed*

@Miss Tartlet: Ha! No, I never actually mentioned the cigars before now. I believe we had these:

That’s so interesting that different states have different licenses, in Texas the only one to sign is the officiant. I’m sad we won’t have any “signing pictures” :(

In the UK, signing the register is part ofthe ceremony, done in front of everyone. It can take a while, so guests are usuall entertained with some music.
