Event: Jess & Bobby
Hello One & All,
May I introduce to you Bobby & Jessica Fisher! These two amazing people met years ago by chance and the rest is history. Instead of marrying traditionally these two very unconventional people picked up and ran off to Utah. The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument served as the back drop and with close friends and family around Jess & Bobby exchanged their vows.
Fast forward almost 6 months later, as they put the finishing touches on their newly renovated house, they gather friends and family around to celebrate their union. Threatened with rain for a week before and a forecast of 40% chance of rain on the day of, there was a scramble to find shelter. A spectacular friend of the couple came through at the last-minute and showed up with 4 easy ups and a tent. The day was saved and little did we all know, the rain would last for 30 minutes well before the party began and the sun would come out. A Southwestern vibe was in the air, as well as lots of smiles, laughter and sunshine. The event was simply magical.

The sign explains how the favors are located in the middle of the table. It reads as follows: To our friends and family, thank you for warming our house and being in our lives! Please take a favor with you. The succulents are the good, the tequila the bad and the mustaches are the ugly. Which will you choose or will you choose all three?
At each place setting, sat a mason jar containing a napkin and eating utensils. The mason jar also sports two hand-made tags. One die cut tag that says thank you and another with the couple’s custom monogram and the date on one side and on the other another little note that reads: When Bigfoots come together, love knows no bounds.Tonight we give thanks to warm their abode. To friends, family & love! Favors are in the middle of the table.Eat. Drink. Make Merry. Special thanks to Leah Grosso-Brady for the creation of the Thank You tags.
