Denise and Keith Tie The Knot at The Matthews House!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Denise and Keith found themselves sitting at the same kitchen table at a mutual friends' engagement party in March of 2011. Keith was attracted to Denise's gorgeousness and Denise to Keith's personality and easy going nature. Their conversation flowed easily and it felt like they had known each other forever. After many attempts to get together they officially became a couple whereupon Keith promptly asked Denise to come with him to a friend's wedding. She asked where the wedding would be. He told her Poland. She asked "Poland, the country?" He replied yes and she eagerly accepted the invitation. That's when Keith new Denise was The One! They both love to travel. Keith is good at planning adventures and Denise is good at coming along with him! Keith proposed in August of 2013 while on a trip out West and they chose the wedding date of August 16, 2014 at <a href="http://www.matthewshousecary.com/" target="_blank">The Matthews House</a> in Cary. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLbhmsFjBNrFI5NUb_DnxzImZjH4XvgqJ_Sal_ujpHuorywospVOpZPk5Hap9UM5AzZ_u_vq2Wkja4lgBWfXJUkjazYAkbCwOIpCViWX7BifaKyoWLfM2rHsQwELDqlEddAOrLAgcjIZY/s1600/DSCN1478.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLbhmsFjBNrFI5NUb_DnxzImZjH4XvgqJ_Sal_ujpHuorywospVOpZPk5Hap9UM5AzZ_u_vq2Wkja4lgBWfXJUkjazYAkbCwOIpCViWX7BifaKyoWLfM2rHsQwELDqlEddAOrLAgcjIZY/s1600/DSCN1478.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've been doing weddings at the lovely historic <a href="http://www.matthewshousecary.com/" target="_blank">Matthews House</a> for at least 12 to 14 years and the property has undergone many changes and developments over time. This view above is of the side of the house. At one time a huge old tree stood between the house and the chairs but it was lost to decay a couple of years ago. In the early days of weddings here the chairs were placed to face the house and porch creating an L-shaped aisle from the front door. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicSZE9EXR5Nd9W4sNH-wFcXDCnFhvgrikqWyHxehjgXFtJ3gn1vcbn6A1R3q4XmRIr3weAq7WyDd7tmBShrzO92Mx7Fc5weYYE3rgMJRjUe2zyR10apgp1walzYBdl0lzZmzSlVbuT3_I/s1600/DSCN1467.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicSZE9EXR5Nd9W4sNH-wFcXDCnFhvgrikqWyHxehjgXFtJ3gn1vcbn6A1R3q4XmRIr3weAq7WyDd7tmBShrzO92Mx7Fc5weYYE3rgMJRjUe2zyR10apgp1walzYBdl0lzZmzSlVbuT3_I/s1600/DSCN1467.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>The beautiful fence was added and an arch was created so that the guests face toward the back of the property where there now stand a beautiful reception hall. It used to be just grass and an unsightly view of the backyards of the neighbors on the street over. Adding the reception hall not only added wonderful space for the reception and Plan B if the weather was not cooperative but also gave more privacy! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXGWPP6JOrMtPVBHm_92ac7p6KHqtuygAUhsKwV6QkM8yE8uuYPT_V2Vxr3LW4H1mljIBh-xWc19toYqxNCbALx_i2Nprc28P3deEr2KLPXMsAoL3c__Vm5Sq_jNvRWtEhCFltqvTKrUQ/s1600/DSCN1473.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXGWPP6JOrMtPVBHm_92ac7p6KHqtuygAUhsKwV6QkM8yE8uuYPT_V2Vxr3LW4H1mljIBh-xWc19toYqxNCbALx_i2Nprc28P3deEr2KLPXMsAoL3c__Vm5Sq_jNvRWtEhCFltqvTKrUQ/s1600/DSCN1473.JPG" width="452" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Inside the reception hall is this lovely cake by <a href="http://www.matthewshousecary.com/patisserie/" target="_blank">Patisserie</a> which is the in-house bakery for the Matthews House. </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1zcyjg1NUL8WUlQAYs9ZTmq7a8kNSg9iypolPf60Rlruqv52Nv75W5qp9LqOxWNUDx6liuyefv3wyJvVWew-2fZjYVxKyglu9B9PDcJlXkotrU3MTzEXwYkex8gIBmonEfSv-vSPFwj0/s1600/DSCN1475.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1zcyjg1NUL8WUlQAYs9ZTmq7a8kNSg9iypolPf60Rlruqv52Nv75W5qp9LqOxWNUDx6liuyefv3wyJvVWew-2fZjYVxKyglu9B9PDcJlXkotrU3MTzEXwYkex8gIBmonEfSv-vSPFwj0/s1600/DSCN1475.JPG" width="406" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> The beautiful floral designs are by Gregg Kennedy of <a href="http://www.brides-and-bouquets.com/" target="_blank">Brides and Bouquets</a>.  Gorgeous as usual! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJNGwspe0Xv7XaTbQjWCvWbRYd_4b3ksQdXJ-nSFTqOItEuj4LGRrCePSP6-aDhUEqBK0_p3uBuhqXUKJtzI0kyyvPKuXd8-1JEFHTC_SF0xdy8XoOp0-zj4o2bHbvPWf4sDCIPOCyfgk/s1600/DSCN1477.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJNGwspe0Xv7XaTbQjWCvWbRYd_4b3ksQdXJ-nSFTqOItEuj4LGRrCePSP6-aDhUEqBK0_p3uBuhqXUKJtzI0kyyvPKuXd8-1JEFHTC_SF0xdy8XoOp0-zj4o2bHbvPWf4sDCIPOCyfgk/s1600/DSCN1477.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Our DJ, Cody Ross with <a href="http://www.lennyfritts.com/" target="_blank">Touch of Class DJs</a>, is set up in the reception hall and a mobile unit is out on the side porch for the ceremony.
