Jessica and Casey Wed at Long View Center!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Jessica and Casey knew they wanted me to officiate their wedding at Long View Center after attending Jessica's cousin <a href="http://raleighweddingblog.blogspot.com/search?q=anna+and+scott" target="_blank">Anna's wedding</a> to her husband Scott at the Angus Barn last year. In fact, Jessica was one of Anna's bridesmaids as Anna would be for Jessica. When Marty and I arrived on their beautiful wedding day of November 16, 2013, the wedding party and families were out in Moore's Park getting some wonderful shots. Casey and Jessica opted for a "first look" ahead of the ceremony which allows time to do a lot of the wedding photography before the ceremony.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPE_wGenOFl3-b1dY0zlQ-6lH3412M2CLroc6L9oDaQaMdX47888MaCK10jmzNDfufABWwfz0Mku5l7Q3lheunC-4uzpnSChsFVYfXNJ8CqzdyKGDhhVX7HvvNUA4z_-HE9asNK6ZF3nA/s1600/DSCN4663.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPE_wGenOFl3-b1dY0zlQ-6lH3412M2CLroc6L9oDaQaMdX47888MaCK10jmzNDfufABWwfz0Mku5l7Q3lheunC-4uzpnSChsFVYfXNJ8CqzdyKGDhhVX7HvvNUA4z_-HE9asNK6ZF3nA/s640/DSCN4663.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The couple with Jessica's family.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCGTkQGc38NMlogZzkvQInVLM-pRlc6TALq42hMtwYE0NwKZgEz-uNnChLhfofQ5-uRJDeM8MWUb6UJgS1pbB3oZWPCPiAn6sd4skoY58tlavPmaXkico-jGuBbux4-tbp2c3SwR1lwI/s1600/DSCN4665.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCGTkQGc38NMlogZzkvQInVLM-pRlc6TALq42hMtwYE0NwKZgEz-uNnChLhfofQ5-uRJDeM8MWUb6UJgS1pbB3oZWPCPiAn6sd4skoY58tlavPmaXkico-jGuBbux4-tbp2c3SwR1lwI/s640/DSCN4665.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Pretty in red!!

Jessica and Casey Wed at Long View Center!

Jessica and Casey knew they wanted me to officiate their wedding at Long View Center after attending Jessica's cousin Anna's wedding...

A Gorgeous Wedding at Long View Center for Lindsay and Kyle!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It is a small world! On June 22, 2013, I officiated the wedding of Lindsay and Kyle at the lovely <a href="http://unitytriangle.org/about-unity/weddings-downtown-raleigh/" target="_blank">Long View Center</a> leased by Unity Church of the Triangle--my church. The day before, at a retirement party of a former co-worker, I discovered that Lindsay's mother and I worked at the same agency many years ago but not at the same time. You just never know who will cross paths with you and I think it was meant to be that I officiate Ann's daughter's wedding. Lindsay and Kyle met with me last August and they loved the opportunity to write the ceremony of their dreams with my guidance and tons of material I gave them to go through. Their photographer was Elizabeth Myers with <a href="http://www.sweetlifestudios.com/" target="_blank">Sweet Life Studios</a>, another great person to work with again! <a href="mailto:maestroscottm@aol.com" target="_blank">Scott McKenzie</a>, Music Director at <a href="http://unitytriangle.org/about-unity/weddings-downtown-raleigh/" target="_blank">Unity Church of the Triangle</a> and classical pianist and conductor, provided the beautiful music. Mel Day with <a href="http://dogwoodtreefloraldesigns.com/" target="_blank">Dogwood Tree Florals</a> provided the pretty flowers  and <a href="http://makeupforyourday.com/home/" target="_blank">Make-up For Your Day</a> had all the women looking gorgeous. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQeyPD3phLm7BEW8-tAx9AuT99el9oyqWyGsVKp4RddFSOvP79oCzoEf2sP7Z7VYbcR_7uJMq2dCF1zCEwbnogaq6nEno036xAYiQf5brRxR1YUruMCg_LYbSwoqdNfTzbGyL4UJlvbcc/s1600/DSCN1156.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQeyPD3phLm7BEW8-tAx9AuT99el9oyqWyGsVKp4RddFSOvP79oCzoEf2sP7Z7VYbcR_7uJMq2dCF1zCEwbnogaq6nEno036xAYiQf5brRxR1YUruMCg_LYbSwoqdNfTzbGyL4UJlvbcc/s640/DSCN1156.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUSzWdFeu_bpwPFRNfRtjH9PZoUsvPrSisPBHFMguaR-6pDHxZ9gimLMgwSLQEv8aUXJxctKWMU7Py9BCkXq-NI2nXUOavUkSWsmBezdieshSHEKlKUb9DqcVNyHJfuVHfCQlih2NXdEk/s1600/DSCN1157.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUSzWdFeu_bpwPFRNfRtjH9PZoUsvPrSisPBHFMguaR-6pDHxZ9gimLMgwSLQEv8aUXJxctKWMU7Py9BCkXq-NI2nXUOavUkSWsmBezdieshSHEKlKUb9DqcVNyHJfuVHfCQlih2NXdEk/s640/DSCN1157.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> Lindsay's father, Rolland, helped her float down the aisle!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8ucjs6BDmeCvxO7Ef6gVqRxz0qz2hJlJiIk2YNnR3E7rRrWOTt_4YW5lkVz3VhT2y2BZdy8G4gWJ8euLs2hP-6f7xYCz4GmKFox05pA0JOk7pFggVw1JBWnCrHRs-1MSNuCZLWWE5bfU/s1600/DSCN1158.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8ucjs6BDmeCvxO7Ef6gVqRxz0qz2hJlJiIk2YNnR3E7rRrWOTt_4YW5lkVz3VhT2y2BZdy8G4gWJ8euLs2hP-6f7xYCz4GmKFox05pA0JOk7pFggVw1JBWnCrHRs-1MSNuCZLWWE5bfU/s640/DSCN1158.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Everyone is standing in honor of the bride's entrance and as her father places her hand into Kyle's hand.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSumxkknM0IdTruLeOyT0wy6_Qe7DEkM55xD9DnsFNmn7jCWcS7RtbO_rKhTXnfKhodxuGotGcCyk1P9kp0-zh5iqeKREEn49F1KUnXduSLdHXyCL319t5iCNNznrvV7mMGobvSQelEEA/s1600/DSCN1162.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSumxkknM0IdTruLeOyT0wy6_Qe7DEkM55xD9DnsFNmn7jCWcS7RtbO_rKhTXnfKhodxuGotGcCyk1P9kp0-zh5iqeKREEn49F1KUnXduSLdHXyCL319t5iCNNznrvV7mMGobvSQelEEA/s640/DSCN1162.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRAKFWlis6HJBOKHXG8EdpXiS2ys6pVWbiX1zONM2GcmQ0h_ntCd4D2oggD_4OdLdhz4OP0yiYJk9RbFYvi4TosyaC9gkoEUEtEHw7oHDWTJNN6_yABrrj_32tnOdghMLQVSFdIjvqWtk/s1600/DSCN1163.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRAKFWlis6HJBOKHXG8EdpXiS2ys6pVWbiX1zONM2GcmQ0h_ntCd4D2oggD_4OdLdhz4OP0yiYJk9RbFYvi4TosyaC9gkoEUEtEHw7oHDWTJNN6_yABrrj_32tnOdghMLQVSFdIjvqWtk/s640/DSCN1163.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Tia Jones with <a href="http://weddingplannernc.com/" target="_blank">Erin McLean Events</a> was their wedding planner and so I knew I did not have to worry about the processional and the little behind the scenes details.

Kyle lived in Virginia at the time and was in the area visiting with his friends here for the 4th of July weekend. The more they talked, the more they found they had in common but since he lived so far away, neither of them expected anything to come of it.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtX7qfX991AxmLrAi3lAXfP3cu1olcH9zhxx1sVS0_XTBeRjv5qGTqxBMeH13cuRP6lwTytwAuCEPmxC93AZlPlqjxIAwVc8U82IOdO8TjKs5wWlkHs9GnadKzvSbWQLYPVgiPLFAQ0N0/s1600/DSCN1173.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtX7qfX991AxmLrAi3lAXfP3cu1olcH9zhxx1sVS0_XTBeRjv5qGTqxBMeH13cuRP6lwTytwAuCEPmxC93AZlPlqjxIAwVc8U82IOdO8TjKs5wWlkHs9GnadKzvSbWQLYPVgiPLFAQ0N0/s400/DSCN1173.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>But, they could not stop thinking of each other and the next time Kyle came to Raleigh he called her and they saw each other again. From that point on they were a couple and eventually Kyle moved back to NC again. He proposed in December of 2011 via an elaborate scheme to elude Lindsay's suspicions of getting the ring. It worked and of course she was thrilled to say yes!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHwyIEt3xloihko5CJK187faB7hTaCULFPnDr0M8O5QfHW-1jwM_K3wt4KQzE_B7kI9kKGVkdgXnNjkdn1TNQuakxIxogALANh00MFUYlDkwC33PwbY937skBsALkW6V4wrAjV-LBviPQ/s1600/DSCN1175.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="588" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHwyIEt3xloihko5CJK187faB7hTaCULFPnDr0M8O5QfHW-1jwM_K3wt4KQzE_B7kI9kKGVkdgXnNjkdn1TNQuakxIxogALANh00MFUYlDkwC33PwbY937skBsALkW6V4wrAjV-LBviPQ/s640/DSCN1175.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>They each told me in confidence what they loved about the other and got to hear what they told me for the first time during the ceremony.

It is simply magical and evokes such emotion. I had never heard it played live! And, Scott had never heard me do a wedding. After the ceremony I went over and asked him what he thought. He told me he had heard hundreds of wedding ceremonies and that I was the "queen" of wedding ceremonies. He said he laughed and cried through the whole ceremony!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk7OD_4zmY2eAiZ2TBs9gFcjSH6PM04aPY4HPxNIcq9iM6WWrFmXnmkb5-BCOCjgcJYV8piQNTcNWKoHlERKgXo9KDiOyK3eLk_QKk4kTKLwNe8p261GW_EOhzW_ucjBSGNMKpVm89hKc/s1600/DSCN1207.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk7OD_4zmY2eAiZ2TBs9gFcjSH6PM04aPY4HPxNIcq9iM6WWrFmXnmkb5-BCOCjgcJYV8piQNTcNWKoHlERKgXo9KDiOyK3eLk_QKk4kTKLwNe8p261GW_EOhzW_ucjBSGNMKpVm89hKc/s640/DSCN1207.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Lindsay and Kyle, thank you for choosing me to be your officiant.
