Barn Wood Headboard
My grandparents were gracious enough to let us have some barn wood that was taken off of my great-grandparents' barn (the "shaving shed" from their sawmill) when my grandpa replaced the roof a couple of years ago. Patrick brought it home, sawed it down to size, and mounted it on our bedroom wall as a headboard! I absolutely love it. The color of the wood is gorgeous, and completely natural. Patrick only used a clear sealant on the wood. A lot of people buy furniture made from reclaimed barn wood, but I am so proud that this wood is from my own family's history, and untouched by anyone outside the family! I plan to talk to my grandma about further history of the barn, but I suspect that the lumber was probably harvested by my own great-grandpa, since he was a logger, which just goes to make it even cooler and more special! I am a lucky girl to have such a rich family history, and even luckier to have a husband who equally loves and appreciates it!

Our Wedding–July 30, 2011
Patrick and I were married July 30, 2011. It was the happiest day of my life!

Getting Ready - My fabulous friend Betsy did my hair and makeup.
Patrick Getting Ready – In honor of both our families’ Scottish heritage, Patrick and the other men wore kilts. The kilt Patrick wore belonged to his oldest brother Josh when he was in the Salt Lake Scots Pipe Band. It is the Salt Lake Scots tartan.
Mama Helping Me Into My Dress (Sottero and Midgley JSM1103) – Betsy and my mom helped me into my gown. I wore my mom’s pearl earrings and necklace, blue socks, and the Lucchese boots that were a gift from my grandpa (Papa Bob). He bought me the boots only a few days before he passed away in March 2009, and asked me to wear them at my wedding.
First Look Photography – I love how Sarah’s photos capture our personalities and the character of our relationship. We love to laugh together. It’s hard to find us at a time when we’re not being silly.
Our Ringbearer – Pat’s Youngest Nephew
The Kilted Men
The Ceremony – Both our ceremony and reception were held at The Lodge at Stillwater at Jordanelle Reservoir. Our dear friend Abby was ordained as a minister and performed our ceremony. Patrick’s dad Howard, was once a member of the Salt Lake Scots Pipe Band, and played the bagpipes.
