Ashlee and Jay's Beautiful Wedding at Highgrove!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I met Ashlee and Jay last August to plan their wedding ceremony for their wedding on April 12, 2014 at <a href="http://www.highgrove-nc.com/" target="_blank">Highgrove Estates</a> in Fuquay-Varina. Ashlee's last name was familiar to me because my first cousin married a man with that name and they lived in New York like Ashlee and her family. Turns out we may be distantly related by marriage and several times removed and all that! Such a small world!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVi9bMDKcFcLwMroALYRuome4mLrEfHdqr7yNUHFO0WC9REwaq0yi6Q2A0QOg3pMQJGTs52HyelhbW24I311Ukp-lXWwJNuUoZ-77waIDXlTJrzmksM73H0fznzNIV66ggYjmV-AIFhzA/s1600/DSCN7278.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVi9bMDKcFcLwMroALYRuome4mLrEfHdqr7yNUHFO0WC9REwaq0yi6Q2A0QOg3pMQJGTs52HyelhbW24I311Ukp-lXWwJNuUoZ-77waIDXlTJrzmksM73H0fznzNIV66ggYjmV-AIFhzA/s1600/DSCN7278.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>They both grew up in New York although Jay's parents have since relocated to North Carolina and Jay and Ashlee moved here in 2010. So they chose the lovely <a href="http://www.highgrove-nc.com/" target="_blank">Highgrove Estates</a> for their wedding venue.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidzctszVaQ5V0AwJqNI-Ibi3f7_nDFNqWjyPW_0xNN8NLhQU9d14Aru7YDAAv_3DQXOA9anJH96eO8t2ZzNsUYIAwoWDKsAcDBkSetocawhruPvhmKIFziT1jRJltIwbR0jT3Vqgu7v8w/s1600/DSCN7282.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidzctszVaQ5V0AwJqNI-Ibi3f7_nDFNqWjyPW_0xNN8NLhQU9d14Aru7YDAAv_3DQXOA9anJH96eO8t2ZzNsUYIAwoWDKsAcDBkSetocawhruPvhmKIFziT1jRJltIwbR0jT3Vqgu7v8w/s1600/DSCN7282.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Our wonderful DJ was Randy Bennett with <a href="http://bunndjcompany.com/" target="_blank">Joe Bunn DJ Company</a>. He is always at a site before me, all set up and waiting for me to plug my theater microphone into his system. He is also quite a sharp dresser. Randy has this collection of cuff links so I had to find out which ones he was wearing today and as you can see, they are the Batman ones! I wonder if that is because our groom is a policeman.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_MiVklGIMPvFoZmQBxf_XDFOqM-joimWzidxPoByEx3ImvI2yEMObdDGiZ0uZPjenC8vo2IaKG04pVBXgosb7nE8uVlgI8kWZnImkb4ivzgV9m_SOuuUFPF_b1q9em7kqVhOKhVWt8R4/s1600/DSCN7287.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_MiVklGIMPvFoZmQBxf_XDFOqM-joimWzidxPoByEx3ImvI2yEMObdDGiZ0uZPjenC8vo2IaKG04pVBXgosb7nE8uVlgI8kWZnImkb4ivzgV9m_SOuuUFPF_b1q9em7kqVhOKhVWt8R4/s1600/DSCN7287.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Cute idea, probably from Pinterest, for the table assignments and menu. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjIXwui28Ps6qLuuX9NC7u74oDt0A4tELvE8GjmcWmJ63T-bsy2ttYs8qMPn5lhxod0k5VbstzntgMeVuYihP1M_kvlaEx9YNeUnUsmfXp5myaubStOtPJDH3hOADSIxvt9N2GFcMih9I/s1600/DSCN7289.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjIXwui28Ps6qLuuX9NC7u74oDt0A4tELvE8GjmcWmJ63T-bsy2ttYs8qMPn5lhxod0k5VbstzntgMeVuYihP1M_kvlaEx9YNeUnUsmfXp5myaubStOtPJDH3hOADSIxvt9N2GFcMih9I/s1600/DSCN7289.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>This is the lovely garden ballroom at <a href="http://www.highgrove-nc.com/" target="_blank">Highgrove</a>.

It was not until they met again at a party in 2010 when Jay returned from Iraq, that they really got to know each other and really, from that point they have been inseparable.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY_koz-0riKJ63v5j8axQx2MeQJqDog1W3che2fZ9Tptd8IiNgsHz88i1d7Gm1ykxsm81wCYAz2Bh6JeWcG6P8nUjFaPtP3JGbqcuVQLbzQUIWdYvkm25CcmzngvKKDF5jgSOb6yUDzSk/s1600/DSCN7337.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="526" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY_koz-0riKJ63v5j8axQx2MeQJqDog1W3che2fZ9Tptd8IiNgsHz88i1d7Gm1ykxsm81wCYAz2Bh6JeWcG6P8nUjFaPtP3JGbqcuVQLbzQUIWdYvkm25CcmzngvKKDF5jgSOb6yUDzSk/s1600/DSCN7337.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>I asked them each to tell me in confidence what they love about each other.

Ashlee and Jay's Beautiful Wedding at Highgrove!

I met Ashlee and Jay last August to plan their wedding ceremony for their wedding on April 12, 2014 at Highgrove Estates in Fuquay-Varina. ...

Wonderful Interfaith Wedding for Emily and Michael at the Carolina Inn!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Emily and Michael and I met in August of 2012. They were planning their interfaith wedding ceremony at the <a href="http://www.carolinainn.com/chapel-hill-nc-weddings.php" target="_blank">Carolina Inn</a> set for September 21, 2013. They had spoken with Rabbi Andrew Ettin in Winston-Salem and he referred them to me. Since I was already on the Carolina Inn preferred vendor list, they contacted me. They wanted a co-officiated ceremony so that both faiths were represented. I explained how I work with couples in co-creating their ceremony so that it is exactly what they envision. They really liked that idea and so we signed a contract and began our work together. I sent them many interfaith ceremonies including ones I had co-officiated with Rabbi Ettin. They chose their elements and then sent the first draft to me. After editing it, we sent the ceremony to Rabbi Ettin for his review and input. They also answered questions about how they met and fell in love and what they love about each other which we incorporated into the ceremony. Then the Rabbi and I divvied the ceremony sections up between the two of us so that we alternated speaking during the ceremony. It was quite lovely, but unfortunately and to Michael's great dismay, the weather on their wedding day was not lovely. It was a rain-soaked weekend and there was no way to have their ceremony in the Ann Hill Courtyard. The <a href="http://www.carolinainn.com/chapel-hill-nc-weddings.php" target="_blank">Carolina Inn</a> is well-prepared for Plan B and had this lovely ballroom ready for us. This ballroom is so cheery with its happy colors.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_ZsLL-rnJp2H-SomUvtZzAuIEUXERT_18MfMrzWrvAdKiJBGb_xZO5vM3cxBaDNdEn-NliebF_gEDOkcKpCHnq-KgxHn3pA37I-hM-oM0wr_G-ygseA95c2Pk2unKmJEGI4Nyy-Nc6Q/s1600/DSCN2651.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_ZsLL-rnJp2H-SomUvtZzAuIEUXERT_18MfMrzWrvAdKiJBGb_xZO5vM3cxBaDNdEn-NliebF_gEDOkcKpCHnq-KgxHn3pA37I-hM-oM0wr_G-ygseA95c2Pk2unKmJEGI4Nyy-Nc6Q/s400/DSCN2651.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>So, when Marty and I arrived, the room was all set up. The Chuppah was up but the table was too large for all 4 of us to stand under so I asked for a smaller table which we then relocated to the back corner of the Chuppah. (You can't tell in the photo but the column behind the table actually protrudes out about a foot.) The pretty florals were provide by <a href="http://www.trebellaflorist.com/" target="_blank">Tre Bella</a>. Suzanne Ledwith with <a href="http://www.sallyoakley.com/" target="_blank">Sally Oakley Personalized Wedding Planning</a> was on hand to direct the entire event along with Melissa Sayre with the Carolina Inn. They did a fabulous job.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgbq7OCDevvHg1Q2cALvyJsUdPur2jQmol6HkNQjQwC79nr03TBMMw0USGdOfDDvqGenl1OJ22ksFqgE4CSPY2k9i_AMJl-f860xprqP5ExTwXzPFtaw5wk0S-u5qQsxg5RxwAzbbNQA/s1600/DSCN2655.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgbq7OCDevvHg1Q2cALvyJsUdPur2jQmol6HkNQjQwC79nr03TBMMw0USGdOfDDvqGenl1OJ22ksFqgE4CSPY2k9i_AMJl-f860xprqP5ExTwXzPFtaw5wk0S-u5qQsxg5RxwAzbbNQA/s400/DSCN2655.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>The <a href="http://ariosostrings.com/" target="_blank">Arioso Strings</a> trio got set up and began practicing.
