THE WEDDING
Some folks go "country chic" for their wedding day, but for
Michelle and Steven a country-themed wedding in a
weathered barn near Winterbourne, north of Waterloo, fit
them both as comfortably as their favourite jeans.
Steven grew up on a farm and Michelle says she
"practically lived at the barn" where her horse was boarded so
they were very much in their element at their wedding,
celebrating with family and friends, a "sweetly sentimental
event for lots of different reasons".
Classic cars transported the wedding party, courtesy of
Michelle's grandpa and his friends. The bride and groom rode
in a sleek red 1960 Lincoln Continental convertible.
Steven loved "driving from the ceremony at the barn to
the reception hall, our convoy of classic cars honking and
cruising through town".
The couple enjoyed some photo ops with Magic,
Michelle's 11-year old Anglo-Arab gelding, her teammate in
jumping competitions.
