Rain. That's how wedding day started. Rachel conceded, "I've made my peace with it. It is what it is." The rest of us kept saying, "Rain on your wedding day is good luck! Yay!" But plan B was sketchy.
Bridesmaids met early and went to West Jefferson for beautification. They returned to Nuthouse Cottage where they shared a lunch made earlier by the bride. Then, they started to get ready.

And then there was an element of surprise added to the wonderful country elegance. SHHH! The groom was not to know. Rachel and Dad made a grand entrance in a beautiful horse drawn carriage driven by a gentleman friend, James Young.
