What a great time for a wedding. Charmaine and Steve thought so too and chose May 25, 2014 for their special day. Although they do not live locally, Steve went to Duke University and they just loved the prospect of getting married in these beautiful gardens. They liked the Fish Pond area at the foot of the pergola best.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUDE7SYv_BYbX3IVNAQZQIiVOvsAeCzmCWitHvlb9smajNyBMKhaH-0RjLg-ZjSbtFhagbcN1RhRPsbZnWEqVuB4PVBAJ-zAdzqR3cKOkurHGc9Evke7J2DxFCPdetT8IlSPvoLYN4hAo/s1600/DSCN8857.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUDE7SYv_BYbX3IVNAQZQIiVOvsAeCzmCWitHvlb9smajNyBMKhaH-0RjLg-ZjSbtFhagbcN1RhRPsbZnWEqVuB4PVBAJ-zAdzqR3cKOkurHGc9Evke7J2DxFCPdetT8IlSPvoLYN4hAo/s1600/DSCN8857.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Although Charmaine and Steve have known from practically the day they met a few years ago that they were meant for each other, the wedding plans came together quickly. They hired Amanda Scott with <a href="http://www.aswankyaffairnc.com/" target="_blank">A Swanky Affair</a> to help them pull all the pieces of the wedding together. Charmaine contacted me on April 22nd to see if I was available to officiate. I was tickled to tell her I was. So, she and Steve and I got busy creating a special ceremony for their special day.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwBK48VoMifD0rNpg1FoSaUP-msN5aA7AVrMxOBZCyxIaJuh1o9VkhxcjclzKanCZQhiTCTBHAFHIN3z8ZZQ6ajTsownxT5Oy5q3nTVGMFdGrIsmDbxadCrNysyxhZEAnPHRrdrz5GV_I/s1600/DSCN8862.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwBK48VoMifD0rNpg1FoSaUP-msN5aA7AVrMxOBZCyxIaJuh1o9VkhxcjclzKanCZQhiTCTBHAFHIN3z8ZZQ6ajTsownxT5Oy5q3nTVGMFdGrIsmDbxadCrNysyxhZEAnPHRrdrz5GV_I/s1600/DSCN8862.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>This is the view of the Fish Pond and the Overlook above it from the pergola.

Ashley and Craig's Beautiful Wedding at Rose Hill Plantation!

In January of 2013, Ashley and Craig contacted me about their wedding at <a href="http://visitrosehill.com/landing-weddings-special-events.php" target="_blank">Rose Hill Plantation</a> on May 24, 2014--well over a year ahead. Wise couple to be planning early so they can get their preferred vendors. They loved the idea of collaborating with me to create a unique personalized ceremony so we got to work!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOdrImj6bBq_788PuEdauJHhriK3lQJD1auQ9WA_8UcVBvEnpb-_1UvDK0MoqTi7vtXgufTaAckJu_h-NWRvoRjH_vGY7tQaRvkqeboslUtN5Bo-3QXRBaaJpjg5s4hc497CiPiLIoD_8/s1600/DSCN8657.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOdrImj6bBq_788PuEdauJHhriK3lQJD1auQ9WA_8UcVBvEnpb-_1UvDK0MoqTi7vtXgufTaAckJu_h-NWRvoRjH_vGY7tQaRvkqeboslUtN5Bo-3QXRBaaJpjg5s4hc497CiPiLIoD_8/s1600/DSCN8657.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>The wedding day was glorious.

So when it came time to pin the flowers on the groomsmen, she asked me to do the honors. I was happy to do so. In case you don't know how: boutonnieres go on the left lapel. Take the pin and from underneath the lapels, <b>horizontally </b>push the pin through the fabric, through the stem, then back through the lapel hiding the head and the sharp end of the pin underneath the lapel. And, by the way, boutonnieres and those pocket handkerchiefs that come with rentals should not be worn together. One or the other, and the boutonnieres look best.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-4Az3vvNaJc1nWij-WKufgqukxS7YbhFWeCIT7xcHFHF3FxILbwMvTdlJP3Ca2P2VG4UHw2lLKq6N-b0Zp_1sXiMR5z3lgDjjHPGoqanUHHZuu_BhR85pL9sFbzAE2jeDNBxplVZ_rug/s1600/DSCN8666.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-4Az3vvNaJc1nWij-WKufgqukxS7YbhFWeCIT7xcHFHF3FxILbwMvTdlJP3Ca2P2VG4UHw2lLKq6N-b0Zp_1sXiMR5z3lgDjjHPGoqanUHHZuu_BhR85pL9sFbzAE2jeDNBxplVZ_rug/s1600/DSCN8666.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>While I was pinning on the flowers, Marty was at Nathan Hall where the reception would be. <a href="http://www.lennyfritts.com/" target="_blank">Lenny Fritts</a>, our DJ, had set up pretty purple up-lighting around the dance floor to surprise the couple.

They met in a bowling alley in Greensboro in 2010 and their lives changed forever. They were instantly attracted to each other and soon were inseparable. Craig proposed on September 23, 2012 so it was a rather long engagement during which Ashley started Physician's Assistant school in Greenville and only two weeks before the wedding, Craig got his degree in Raleigh. So, the wedding was a twofold celebration, their marriage and living together in the same city again!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwCRlhRvRQhSbgafdmoIZuxdk0nep8mFYFLtyUMJtjhNBvAV68r8xOatOwBzyZKTc9FKI_PAdAJcxaHnifrKxcgH8ud3KP1ZYIjgTa0O9_oTqz7TqojrBZvnVl7zq65kyEOGhRfjbDfLU/s1600/DSCN8730.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwCRlhRvRQhSbgafdmoIZuxdk0nep8mFYFLtyUMJtjhNBvAV68r8xOatOwBzyZKTc9FKI_PAdAJcxaHnifrKxcgH8ud3KP1ZYIjgTa0O9_oTqz7TqojrBZvnVl7zq65kyEOGhRfjbDfLU/s1600/DSCN8730.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> After the story and revealing what they love about each other, the battery in my microphone bit the dust.
