Delaney and Austin's Nashville wedding didn't go according to plan. Well, not according to Plan A at least. After intense flooding in Nashville knocked them off course a bit, they resorted to Plan B and then finally Plan C for their May 2010 nuptials. With plenty of hands-on family and friends pitching in to create special details and set up the ceremony and reception areas, the couple was still able to say "I do" in front of their loved ones as part of a truly personalized day.
Here's a little taste of their fun portrait session at the place they first met and some behind the scenes snapshots of the set-up in progress. Then be sure to check out their gallery for the full story. Oh, and a video of everything below!

3 Delaney and Austin posing with a slightly larger ampersand...and letterpress blocks with their first initials.
4 The über important to do list.
5 A witty sign for the girls' prep room.
6 Everyone helped set up the reception space.
7 Tables were dressed with tablecloths, friends and family folded napkins, and later set out centerpieces and final touches.
8 Moving everything around to the proper floorplan.
9 Hanging the sign for the guestbook area.
10 The dessert bar, before set-up, carefully labeled and set out.
11 The groom places honey jars around a table.
12 Moving a fully loaded table takes a lot of hands.

I was at this wedding. It was wonderful. Delaney ought to be doing wedding planning and production for a living. She's a lady who can get 'er done.

They may have had to move to Plan C, but everything looks wonderful. As a book nerd I am loving the portraits done with all the old books.
