Over a year ago Molly visited her fiance’s (now husband) hometown, Avoca, Nebraska. During her stay she had a vision of a country wedding in the middle of the town park.
There are not many Nebraskans who know where Avoca is. If they do, it’s probably because they visited for the Annual Quack-Off duck races. Yep, it’s true, this town hosts such an event each year drawing big city folk from Lincoln and Omaha to come place bets on the oh so exciting, never a dull moment, nailing biting competition.
Outside of Nebraska you’ll be hard pressed to find someone who’s familiar with the town. Here’s what came up when I googled “Avoca, Nebraska”:
Population in July 2009: 262. Population change since 2000: -3.0%.
Molly saw something very special though on her trip and she wanted to share Nick’s old stomping grounds with the rest of their family and friends.
She imagined an event with diy details-Wine bottles with lace trim, a clothesline adorned with photos from throughout the years, mason jars with lemonade, classic coca cola, popcorn and caramelized pecans. She pictured carpenters lights strung above picnic tables, a buffet of comfort food, homemade pie along with an assortment of desserts. With her family, friends, and a U-hual truck full of supplies driven eight hours from Chicago, she arranged a true backyard wedding.
I’m completely blown away by the attention to detail, patience, and creativity given to this wedding. Molly, Nick, friends and family, you all did an amazing job and I am so grateful to have photographed the occasion, and been able to be a guest at the end of the night.
