They chose the Brooks Avenue Church of Christ in Raleigh for their wedding ceremony on February 15, 2014. It is a gorgeous sanctuary as you can see. The musicians from <a href="http://ncweddingmusic.com/NC_Strings.html" target="_blank">North Carolina Strings </a>are setting up their ensemble down front.  We had had a major snow and ice storm a few days prior to the wedding and everyone was happy that the weather had significantly improved so everyone could get to the wedding. Their reception was held at the University Club.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8_gcQM-kDlpeLCyapRB4hCeSf3F3SyeEQIrmIxBvq1YVDDjecX0XMVS144ujsZP0jpjr8bpf3ZbM9R1qbX67n1cPhzqXHSLwzvZet1Jy6BG_ub3tTEtXJ-JslPqWPD4KkX6wWSS5jGYw/s1600/DSCN6329.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8_gcQM-kDlpeLCyapRB4hCeSf3F3SyeEQIrmIxBvq1YVDDjecX0XMVS144ujsZP0jpjr8bpf3ZbM9R1qbX67n1cPhzqXHSLwzvZet1Jy6BG_ub3tTEtXJ-JslPqWPD4KkX6wWSS5jGYw/s1600/DSCN6329.JPG" width="387" /></a></div>They included a <a href="http://raleighweddingblog.blogspot.com/search/label/sand%20ceremony%20guidelines" target="_blank">sand ceremony</a> and before the wedding, they had their mothers pour in sand to symbolize the coming together of their two families.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrcXx6ZtW2pNE_uzfzoao8_KBmvjiUrpTW5iyCO_nL4lZ1DG89yk9T9WMZ63megrkvbDYGWv_dVZkFHL921IhnEuApm3SEiE0K8arvdZoTmDB2W81kDfhytWXV2HTgFpG7ikmYBuO7wtk/s1600/DSCN6330.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrcXx6ZtW2pNE_uzfzoao8_KBmvjiUrpTW5iyCO_nL4lZ1DG89yk9T9WMZ63megrkvbDYGWv_dVZkFHL921IhnEuApm3SEiE0K8arvdZoTmDB2W81kDfhytWXV2HTgFpG7ikmYBuO7wtk/s1600/DSCN6330.JPG" width="392" /></a></div>Nicole Conder with <a href="http://www.premierpartyplanners.com/" target="_blank">Premier Party Planners</a> was on hand to get us all organized and down the aisle.

They first met when salsa dancing in 2010 but both were too shy to ask each other out. Later on they both happened to sign up on e-Harmony and were matched up! It was just the jumpstart they needed. Their first official date in July of 2011 for the non-committal one-hour coffee date lasted 6 hours! Chris was smitten with Melissa's vibrant beauty, her bright smile and pleasant demeanor. Melissa was relieved to finally meet a man who was both very intelligent and handsome! It did not take them long to become a couple and embark on their lives together which included planning this wedding.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpszEF1Ce4xnZjiU8EDvN7cvocPlLeGKJXMMZn7OL_G-9dRKvKLYCxWHpgCCO5Ru_D0SMMaGbMNBwSrEnz9S2v8NQDtZQuyGupJaPtOmpkE6nQMsCGWL_xpa4Pbh8j4FnyA8fk34NdaQ/s1600/DSCN1564.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
