Meg and Nick Wed at Fearrington's Crabapple Garden!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Weddings at <a href="http://www.fearrington.com/wedding/" target="_blank">Fearrington</a> are first class and always elegant. Gilda McDaniel and her staff really know how to do a wedding right. I always enjoy working with them and being the officiant at these lovely weddings. Nick and Meg's wedding was no exception. We met in August of 2012 and began planning their ceremony for October 5, 2013 at <a href="http://www.fearrington.com/wedding/" target="_blank">Fearrington</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitzWTs6BPpeS4LWqytddpgKyVWgZnNCjbuRvcaCPlkgJZVp3nIbSep_StqLvE9ZHKcGELcjgw8GToYPsGRg7s_t-uKqW039HgR4pbt5NLPbguwdt8Gu4GD_c9kDygY3lhm9BC-qCdy7A/s1600/DSCN3194.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitzWTs6BPpeS4LWqytddpgKyVWgZnNCjbuRvcaCPlkgJZVp3nIbSep_StqLvE9ZHKcGELcjgw8GToYPsGRg7s_t-uKqW039HgR4pbt5NLPbguwdt8Gu4GD_c9kDygY3lhm9BC-qCdy7A/s400/DSCN3194.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> The beautiful Crabapple Garden is always a pretty spot with some shade too.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYM3d65fNW0LK-J4qqfi3LmZwA9HfjLDexENKJ95GQMYjCQ10W53tzDsf1oaUJjPomH-5cN18EvWflLob0NIiF7gVO-I5GJxTrOh9ISwWKKV2Trc_h85EdXq_q01jOYQR2Pwys-B4AwA/s1600/DSCN3196.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYM3d65fNW0LK-J4qqfi3LmZwA9HfjLDexENKJ95GQMYjCQ10W53tzDsf1oaUJjPomH-5cN18EvWflLob0NIiF7gVO-I5GJxTrOh9ISwWKKV2Trc_h85EdXq_q01jOYQR2Pwys-B4AwA/s640/DSCN3196.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><a href="http://www.fearrington.com/wedding/" target="_blank">Fearrington</a>'s florist, Mary Stevens, always adds just the right touch of floral arrangements.

They were both living in the DC area. Meg put an ad in Craig's List looking for a running partner and while he was perusing Craig's list looking for someone to cook with, Nick ran across Meg's ad. They emailed, found out they had mutual friends in the DC area, and decided to meet. They liked being with each other so much they started dating and soon became a couple. Two years later they moved to North Carolina and got engaged three years later. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOYiRcfwhygGxrGdA2DvsYPidSicIfpd19xpM5MgBony_haYjb4f2srh1N1-sp2f6iO6AWUsZK8YSGn6dvBWALas6BQNlQhJztuk1xS-Hmo3bfvLpPxtyq9-qlOhrVoQSuLrpTcKWTkg/s1600/DSCN3228.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOYiRcfwhygGxrGdA2DvsYPidSicIfpd19xpM5MgBony_haYjb4f2srh1N1-sp2f6iO6AWUsZK8YSGn6dvBWALas6BQNlQhJztuk1xS-Hmo3bfvLpPxtyq9-qlOhrVoQSuLrpTcKWTkg/s640/DSCN3228.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Nick's sister, Lindsay, read "The Key to Love" by Robert M.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and then officiating your beautiful sweet wedding. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. And thank you for this review on Weddingwire.com: <span style="background-color: white; font-family: tahoma, geneva, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.796875px;"><i>We loved working with Kayelily. She is easy to work with, responsive, helpful, and professional. She helped us craft a very special ceremony that made our guests (and the bride and groom), both laugh and cry. It was perfect, and we were so lucky to have her be a part of it!</i></span><br /><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:

Wedding Bells Ring for Amanda and TJ at Brier Creek!

Amanda and TJ are both quiet private people but they still wanted their wedding ceremony to reflect their love and respect for each other. They met in college over 6 years ago and have worked hard and supported each other in achieving their dream careers. Amanda always knew she wanted to be a veterinarian and TJ thought he wanted to be an architect. In the intervening years, TJ changed directions and now works as an actuary because he is really smart with numbers whereas Amanda loves animals and is so grateful to TJ for taking her and all her pets (including the bird) into their relationship as a package deal! <br /><br />The wedding day of May 27, 2012, Memorial Day weekend, arrived and the weather was so perfect for their garden wedding! The Ballroom at <a href="http://www.briercreekcc.com/Default.aspx?p=DynamicModule&pageid=338347&ssid=237421&vnf=1" target="_blank">Brier Creek Country Club</a> was all set up and ready for the guests.

Wonderful Interfaith Wedding for Jessica and Michael at Fearrington!

Back in June of 2011, Jessica and Mike contacted me to officiate their wedding at <a href="http://www.fearrington.com/house/weddings.asp" target="_blank">Fearrington Village</a> on May 26, 2012. They liked that they could construct their own ceremony and that I was experienced in performing the Jewish wedding customs they wanted to incorporate into their ceremony. I also collected information about their relationship so that I could put together the story of how they met and fell in love and what they loved so much about each other. Jessica and Mike were delightful to work with and we had fun bringing their expectations of their ceremony into reality. When the big day arrived on this Memorial Day weekend, everything was coming together beautifully.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-egeAyUxTw4cCN9PKLtnp_YAj15d_4CLVbEvUQg9eg5dTIIx7jjcDiXdF0aS_IGUrDOFPuXApMsYepY1mdtj58Kzpn2aYYjaw5BMg3F5HZKdL6NS0HhnjCsWoXb8cZPbW-APgQxdcrQ/s1600/DSCN2962.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
