On Saturday, Aug. 13, Candice Graffunder, daughter of Hugh and Shelley Graffunder, married Dustin Eliason. The wedding was held outside at the Graffunder ranch with the reception and dance in the big red barn. There was a live band.
To help the 215 guests find the entrance to the driveway of the ranch two giant hay bale figures had been constructed. The figures' faces were painted on, the clothing made from tablecloths, and the groom's top hat from tires. They were definitely eye-catchers.
It was a beautiful sunny day for the wedding. On the night of the 13th, however, there was a large thunderstorm. Shelley Graffunder said that it provided a fantastic lightning show all night long.
