SARATOGA SPRINGS – Taber Stark Ward, of Saratoga Springs, and Ashton Grey Phillips were married on the evening of Saturday, Sept. 9 on the grounds of the former 10 Springs Woods bottling plant.
The outdoor wedding, which went off without a hitch, was the only dry day in a week dotted with downpours. The groom had handcrafted the alter before the bride wrapped it with tulle, burlap, boughs and wildflowers.
The ceremony featured a dozen children stampeding down the aisle to the tune of "The Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies." Many family members and friends from across the United States and around the world came together to create and share the celebration.
Ward is an attorney and mediator; Phillips is a computer programmer. They live in Boulder, Colorado.
