    So creative & memorable! We drove back by on Sunday and were sad to see only the bare bales. Congratulations to Ashley & Travis Cook on your new life together!

    thanks so much for all the kind comments, i am the grooms mother and i would like to say a big thanks to bonney and her husband at davisville county store for providing the bales and a tractor to lift them. it was alot of work but so worth it……i wish you could have seen the real beautiful bide that became my daughter-in-law on that day.

    If you think these hay bales were cute, you should have seen inside the barn! Those decorators and the awesome caterer did a fabulous job!

    This was a very unique event. The wedding was held on the South lawn of our home just behind the hay bale bride and groom. The guests (approx. 150) sat on hay bales with quilts spread over them. Eddie Cook played the wedding march with the fiddle after which the reception was held in our barn. The groom’s cake was a brown deer complete with horns. The barn was decorated beautifully still carrying out the “country theme”. The bride was Ashley Cook and the groom was Travis Tucker from Pace, FL.

    Another wedding is scheduled for Oct. 5 in the Barn and it is always exciting to see how each one is decorated. It will be hard to beat the hay bale bride and groom.

    It’s great to live in a community where these unique events can still be carried out safely.
