By Lisa: It was
picture perfect country day for third generation farmer Jake Tynon and new
bride Ashley Vogel to start their new life together. With over 200 friends and family gathered at
Rosie’s Cabin outside of Fort Scott, Kansas, Jake and Ashley pledged their vows
of love. The ceremony was officiated by Pastor Ryan Kaplin and Millie's Event
Designs; www.millieseventdesigns.com was there to coordinate all the festivities.

The ceremonial
pergola beside the pond was decorated with white hydrangeas and nosegay white
roses accented with baby’s breath and surrounded with dark green foliage. These were designed by local florist; Savannah Flory;

in October, Ashley and Jake shared their vows as guests gathered around on hay
bales or on the wide porch of Rosie’s cabin to watch. The guests stood and applauded as Pastor
Kaplin announced the couple for the first time as “Mr. and Mrs. Jake Tynon”

As the new
couple and bridal party retreated to the pastures for pictures, the guests were
treated to a country style cocktail hour with beer, wine and all kinds of
homemade cookies. At exactly 5:20pm,
after a blessing by Pastor Kaplin, the guests made their way into the reception
hall for the buffet style dinner. The
menu consisted of tender smoked BBQ brisket, al dente green beans and lots of
home grown “sweet” corn with rolls and butter.
Constantly updated pictures of the wedding streamed across a big screen
in the corner to make sure no one missed a moment of the event.
After the guests
had been served, it was time to introduce the couple and their wedding party to
the reception hall. As the guests
watched, the new couple cut their four-tiered wedding cake and made an intimate
toast to one another. They then shared
their first dance together as husband and wife.
After the couple
and the wedding party had eaten, it was time to kick the festivities into high
gear. Father of the bride, Edgar Vogel
gave a sentimental speech and toasted the new couple with chilled champagne
that had been served to all guest tables.
This was followed by a dance with his daughter to “I Loved her First” by
Heartland. Next, Jake took the floor
with his mom to the song “A Mother’s Song” by T. Carter music.

Next, the guests
were invited to the dance floor and to indulge themselves on wedding cake or a
chocolate groom’s cake. The dancing was broken up only to allow for
the single ladies in attendance to vie for the traditional bridal bouquet toss. The single gentlemen all vied for the bride’s
garter tossed by the groom. All then
danced into the starry country night in celebration of Jake and Ashley.
