A Lovely Garden Wedding for Roberta and Christian at the Raulston Arboretum White Garden!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">A week ago <a href="http://www.kiddphotography.com/" target="_blank">Jennifer Kidd </a>and I attended Roberta and Christian's wedding at the White Garden of the <a href="http://www.ncsu.edu/jcraulstonarboretum/index.php" target="_blank">JC Raulston Arboretum</a> in Raleigh--the first of 5 weddings that weekend for me. The date was October 4, 2013. Jennifer was their photographer and I officiated. Here we are clowning around. We discovered last year that we are both Georgia gals. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhlto3P35q_4Cllxk1nhfoxKIYfFSABFuC4uQFsXKwNxb0u1dQwTFoTterl-uC9cBNiCp8uw5YsYozCLGiWpYB6xIZSFp5MJvQDJ-n0FJ8JpQ7_y9sg1bpG2UrUumgoU5UTo86eeqH7g/s1600/DSCN2987.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhlto3P35q_4Cllxk1nhfoxKIYfFSABFuC4uQFsXKwNxb0u1dQwTFoTterl-uC9cBNiCp8uw5YsYozCLGiWpYB6xIZSFp5MJvQDJ-n0FJ8JpQ7_y9sg1bpG2UrUumgoU5UTo86eeqH7g/s320/DSCN2987.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>When it was time to begin, the guests took their seats and the bride and groom with his two adorable little girls, Mary and Allison, processed in together.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxIs5vZGco7wMhGT34EZ3z0sdGuFTduC1b7C6AHssJwtMosnIZx-qK3_KtDJ7GckrOqVVzM7RzbtLjGmz4j6IObO68Nit2ZTSoeQlynC6LM3rDBtmx92_pMsXYa-4ErH8KrKVQe6jhEw/s1600/DSCN3013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxIs5vZGco7wMhGT34EZ3z0sdGuFTduC1b7C6AHssJwtMosnIZx-qK3_KtDJ7GckrOqVVzM7RzbtLjGmz4j6IObO68Nit2ZTSoeQlynC6LM3rDBtmx92_pMsXYa-4ErH8KrKVQe6jhEw/s640/DSCN3013.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>The girls are ages 6 and 4 and really did not grasp the idea of processing in and would prefer to just go pour the sand right away!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz9ycy5QtoBcpG1hIBivTagGsEcr_1RH04wNXg79mJ9blpeRzJE2nlD_2gq5WlRv7ffR3iDhWHrBBrDKYzOzwcAt1fmorp_iZkwlTkNK-wGS7hyFqVhDuSxIZdJ0izBKTmId1AE31cnQ/s1600/DSCN3018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz9ycy5QtoBcpG1hIBivTagGsEcr_1RH04wNXg79mJ9blpeRzJE2nlD_2gq5WlRv7ffR3iDhWHrBBrDKYzOzwcAt1fmorp_iZkwlTkNK-wGS7hyFqVhDuSxIZdJ0izBKTmId1AE31cnQ/s640/DSCN3018.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Part of the ceremony was the children's blessing.

Boomer and Kaeleigh Tie the Knot at Hilton RTP!

Last December Kaeleigh and Boomer came to see me at the recommendation of <a href="http://www.kiddphotography.com/" target="_blank">Jennifer Kidd</a>, their wedding photographer, about officiating their wedding. They planned a wedding with about 60 to 75 guests at the <a href="http://www3.hilton.com/en/events/weddings/index.html" target="_blank">Hilton RTP</a> in Durham on October 6, 2012 at 5:00 PM. They wanted an outdoor wedding on the terrace. I have done many weddings there so I was familiar with their venue and how everything was set up. So we got to work creating a wonderful ceremony--very personalized, sweet, funny and welcoming. They hired <a href="http://www.sallyoakley.com/" target="_blank">Sally Oakley</a> to be their "day of coordinator." And it was a very good thing because in the course of nearly a year from the date of their booking to the time of the wedding, a few changes occurred and Sally and Lauren Panameno (Events Manager with the <a href="http://www3.hilton.com/en/events/weddings/index.html" target="_blank">Hilton RTP</a>) were the real heroes that day! Below is a photo of the beautiful wedding in progress on the lower terrace by the pool. The weather could not have been more perfect.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzRRzvabdD7bTzts2LWw_Gs7FP1fKOjJ4KZLZVYXLKrNn95l2dGBNamDcKH-FLFKN52Jk2Yt7EGUTyCPGVnY5XZ8iwzWn5AjhbQVEBVwRMs7Y_VO9-Td2lXtuTYq7furWSyqhHhdvYQm4/s1600/DSCN6162.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzRRzvabdD7bTzts2LWw_Gs7FP1fKOjJ4KZLZVYXLKrNn95l2dGBNamDcKH-FLFKN52Jk2Yt7EGUTyCPGVnY5XZ8iwzWn5AjhbQVEBVwRMs7Y_VO9-Td2lXtuTYq7furWSyqhHhdvYQm4/s400/DSCN6162.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This photo below is how it looked when I arrived at 4:00: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0UcRhLhT5zQA2sAWx65Zujio-j56tVogy6imskT0cG8c_WgOYaogHF2qDTkvIGNocFvBDb7ivuqdJYM7cIHoUMew1fawLQR8m0O80yZGUm8R2p9dumpqH7bDXwf_LIe4Hn35a_JQNdyc/s1600/DSCN6091.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0UcRhLhT5zQA2sAWx65Zujio-j56tVogy6imskT0cG8c_WgOYaogHF2qDTkvIGNocFvBDb7ivuqdJYM7cIHoUMew1fawLQR8m0O80yZGUm8R2p9dumpqH7bDXwf_LIe4Hn35a_JQNdyc/s400/DSCN6091.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>The hotel was undergoing construction and 12' tall panels of curtains had been ordered to block the view of the construction site. But, by 2:00 they had not arrived and the wedding was at 5 PM! A call to the company that was supposed to furnish them revealed they had no record of the order. Lauren got busy and found that <a href="http://www.cerental.com/" target="_blank">CE Rentals</a> had the drapes and rails available so she took the hotel van and picked up the materials and headed back for her hotel staff to assemble and get into place. In the meantime Sally announced that there would be a 30 minute delay in starting the ceremony and we were all invited to the Front Porch for hors d'oeuvres and drinks.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Anyone who has done a wedding with me that had a runner down the aisle on top of concrete or carpet knows that I consider them a hazard because I believed that it was not possible to secure them to the surface to prevent the runner from becoming wrinkled and twisted when walked upon.  Well, I have to change my mind after watching Suzanne, Sally's assistant, put this runner in place with double-sided carpet tape.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Paula and Steve are a laid-back and fun loving couple. It was such a  pleasure to work with them to get their ceremony just right with  lots of humor and then marry them! The <a href="http://www.chateaubellevie.com/">Chateau Bellevie,</a> a stunning wedding venue, is a beautifully appointed French mansion that is like nothing else in this part of the country and fit Paula and Steve's style perfectly. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCx4vZfSur-f7Nr0eA25pbVJ_0MH_hRYo0AAmy6THALZkOQ5ndXe47YBQW0uy6WKtY21XYLEv4GKGMSkYJ7E0riN4KxqjdOVvrMcbiuhJtwD8ewluxfvq9PVChLN9raLgszesXWHHRQA/s1600/PaulaSteveWeddingChateauBellevieKayelily+0430110002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCx4vZfSur-f7Nr0eA25pbVJ_0MH_hRYo0AAmy6THALZkOQ5ndXe47YBQW0uy6WKtY21XYLEv4GKGMSkYJ7E0riN4KxqjdOVvrMcbiuhJtwD8ewluxfvq9PVChLN9raLgszesXWHHRQA/s400/PaulaSteveWeddingChateauBellevieKayelily+0430110002.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>Their wedding day of April 30, 2011 was about as perfect as you can get.
