Sibel and Metin thought so too. Their wedding celebration was July 3, 2010 at 5:30 PM. I arrived with my husband Dave at 4:45 to get my microphone plugged into the house sound system (so nice and easy thanks to Oz, the banquet captain there.). Dave was my "roadie" for this wedding because my usual "roadie" Marty was on vacation at the beach this weekend. The room was all set up and the runner was in place but not secured. After 11 years of doing weddings, runners are not my favorite items because they rarely stay in place when walked on, especially if they are on top of carpet, grass or concrete. Anna Bobbitt, the <a href="http://www.renaissance-raleigh-weddings.com/">Renaissance Hotel</a> Sales Coordinator in charge of this wedding, (Megan was off this weekend) and I pinned the runner down on each end with some corsage pins I had with me. The material is quite fragile and so the hold was tenuous even though we doubled the thickness. After about half the guests arrived and walked on the runner, it was a twisted mess, so I personally removed it. It is just too dangerous and invites tripping and falling. The room is very pretty without the runner. (The best runner I have ever seen is a strip of white carpeting, bound on all sides.) <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGg5zs3rpDT2zGpf0AyaY8kvUiwCuS9tfv4eN-_oupEIzNe04uw-grY9aU6aWO4kdbYOyIUauVwJsPiQhdR7LLTYpzZ5XgteWL51MKKbhl7GJT7SmS2AB_UQEoEZ3HffpBn4jyAb3cXTU/s1600/SibelMetinWeddingRenaissanceHotel+Kayelily+0703100010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGg5zs3rpDT2zGpf0AyaY8kvUiwCuS9tfv4eN-_oupEIzNe04uw-grY9aU6aWO4kdbYOyIUauVwJsPiQhdR7LLTYpzZ5XgteWL51MKKbhl7GJT7SmS2AB_UQEoEZ3HffpBn4jyAb3cXTU/s400/SibelMetinWeddingRenaissanceHotel+Kayelily+0703100010.JPG" width="283" /></a></div>Lining the sides of the aisle were beautiful tall containers of water with floating candles and rose petals and petals scattered at the base of each one.

Notice how beautiful the bride's bouquet is and that she thoughtfully provided a towel to dry the stems when it was removed from the vase of water. On so many occasions we are searching for paper towels or something to catch the drips from the bouquets. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfU828ptdWEGIjKHg33JNag42ddmEjPxW4AkvQSAzzjLCegB8aETJyllnDp0aEvDj1AIjHEoh-0ANt41lcMahqifOSXxJOmhU7kwKDi8aYKxXfOmUbYx5U1AcKMFnKQ98anJICxTSMiSs/s1600/SibelMetinWeddingRenaissanceHotel+Kayelily+0703100008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfU828ptdWEGIjKHg33JNag42ddmEjPxW4AkvQSAzzjLCegB8aETJyllnDp0aEvDj1AIjHEoh-0ANt41lcMahqifOSXxJOmhU7kwKDi8aYKxXfOmUbYx5U1AcKMFnKQ98anJICxTSMiSs/s400/SibelMetinWeddingRenaissanceHotel+Kayelily+0703100008.JPG" width="247" /></a></div>What a terrific wedding cake!

Our DJ, Eddie, was a friend of the couple and provided the music for the wedding ceremony and reception. Entering here are the father of the bride, Sukra, and his wife, Funda. Sukra circled back to escort Sibel in. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibZ0d_Nr1frPGfm3tXiWHfu4ePuo5Xntfu8Bxp6E48d2UzcdfTKL6IskBkOgCCsOdJRgNpljJAog3jclcP0QI81Qy3Kpex81LDjSNRhGRSO94wdRn-s3UduuxJ2iABQR9o-k0MuSBa408/s1600/SibelMetinWeddingRenaissanceHotel+Kayelily+0703100012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibZ0d_Nr1frPGfm3tXiWHfu4ePuo5Xntfu8Bxp6E48d2UzcdfTKL6IskBkOgCCsOdJRgNpljJAog3jclcP0QI81Qy3Kpex81LDjSNRhGRSO94wdRn-s3UduuxJ2iABQR9o-k0MuSBa408/s400/SibelMetinWeddingRenaissanceHotel+Kayelily+0703100012.JPG" width="247" /></a></div>Charlotte, mother of the bride, was escorted in by our usher, Greg, friend of the family. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOftpu8luvLWjNZhMPQ5aY6GM4XbpsNn4uB3NS4DfRs2oboXMNEC9xJOAa8o9JaYixgWUW_HSGxyDL50-JNEE_ugLKwbzKyXIkQdtx_fpG6heWB_5BqLnlSHIqdaBqr1tiTEsPqYRVQ4c/s1600/SibelMetinWeddingRenaissanceHotel+Kayelily+0703100013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOftpu8luvLWjNZhMPQ5aY6GM4XbpsNn4uB3NS4DfRs2oboXMNEC9xJOAa8o9JaYixgWUW_HSGxyDL50-JNEE_ugLKwbzKyXIkQdtx_fpG6heWB_5BqLnlSHIqdaBqr1tiTEsPqYRVQ4c/s400/SibelMetinWeddingRenaissanceHotel+Kayelily+0703100013.JPG" width="316" /></a></div>Metin was a little nervous and I had to remind him to smile!

She is the daughter of the bride's sister, Suzanne. The room with all the people in it sure looked a lot different than the empty room at the rehearsal and she was reluctant to go down alone. So, Denise, sister of mother of the bride, who was also our honorary director, walked with her all the way. Then it was time for the doors to be closed, the music changed and the entrance of the bride and her father.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzW0rek8tFI2aCsz_KwXubyQhhYOXu5QWEmWlxF3qc6nQ1Zo-6uB8oR9vXTGELsp0hryLa02ZLlP_FoDLagly7gyPe2LlHL1adeoHcgIUbXErPbGF7Rdz9La2yyIlaAqbA5eeDg4HYm1E/s1600/SibelMetinWeddingRenaissanceHotel+Kayelily+0703100015.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzW0rek8tFI2aCsz_KwXubyQhhYOXu5QWEmWlxF3qc6nQ1Zo-6uB8oR9vXTGELsp0hryLa02ZLlP_FoDLagly7gyPe2LlHL1adeoHcgIUbXErPbGF7Rdz9La2yyIlaAqbA5eeDg4HYm1E/s400/SibelMetinWeddingRenaissanceHotel+Kayelily+0703100015.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>Here comes the bride!
