Heather and Zack Tied The Knot at The Cotton Room!

Heather had her eye on Zack from a distance years ago when they were in high school, but he was a senior and she was intimidated by upperclassmen back then. So, she "semi-stalked" him until one day in the parking lot when her car wouldn't start. He happened to walk by on the way to his car which was conveniently parked next to hers and she asked him if he would help her with her car. He did not of course tell Heather that he knew practically nothing about cars and lucky for him, it started on first try. At that point he became a bit suspicious that this pretty girl maybe liked him? Soon afterwards they went on their first date on January 13, 2007. It was not long before they became inseparable. Many years later, after both finishing high school, college and grad school, they could finally marry and reap the benefits of all their hard work and dedication to school and careers. They chose their wedding date of June 8, 2014 at the fabulous venue, <a href="http://www.thecottonroomdurham.com/" target="_blank">The Cotton Room</a> in Durham. They are such creative people and loved the opportunity to write their own ceremony with my guidance so we were a great fit and soon after our meeting in December 2013, began crafting their sweet and funny ceremony.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4V9fr64jDbuAnRxti7KpAiCTIWTrPyZALuXyU1O9ko-GrgfMnMbfk48n-1dV1aULQsUaAiUGKCksR3NSQKFPQthtpMSiNszQa50H99ug8e_XRFyMRvoAsik60_kA7KGMFXp4udLnRuUA/s1600/DSCN9231.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4V9fr64jDbuAnRxti7KpAiCTIWTrPyZALuXyU1O9ko-GrgfMnMbfk48n-1dV1aULQsUaAiUGKCksR3NSQKFPQthtpMSiNszQa50H99ug8e_XRFyMRvoAsik60_kA7KGMFXp4udLnRuUA/s1600/DSCN9231.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>The beautiful wedding day arrived and Marty and I feasted on all the artistic touches for this wedding.

Chelsea and Josh's Fantastic Wedding at The Cotton Room!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Back in July of 2013 I met with Chelsea and Josh to plan their wedding ceremony which took place on April 5, 2014 at <a href="http://www.thecottonroomdurham.com/" target="_blank">The Cotton Room</a> in Durham. This is a fabulous place for weddings and I love going there. It is a re-styled historic site of a former cotton warehouse. When Marty (my assistant and now not-so-amateur photographer for this blog!) and I arrive at a wedding, the first thing I do is get my sound set up and do a sound check and that is what is happening in the photo below. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrAtIAoMNPX_wPpadAaHZCsgm0UBPfSyacRaygEPfJpx0B_ldvjpp0BZYotnWYXoPaxIQKVmM_0-WxRzUYj6XIAZ3e78EELehp5l9Qc1qBYYkofZ5a3XumFhKCjRq5i2_oGQMH7_ah7q4/s1600/DSCN7053.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrAtIAoMNPX_wPpadAaHZCsgm0UBPfSyacRaygEPfJpx0B_ldvjpp0BZYotnWYXoPaxIQKVmM_0-WxRzUYj6XIAZ3e78EELehp5l9Qc1qBYYkofZ5a3XumFhKCjRq5i2_oGQMH7_ah7q4/s1600/DSCN7053.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>Eric Hodgdens, <a href="http://www.allaroundraleighdj.com/" target="_blank">All Around Raleigh DJ</a>, was their DJ and I love working with him.

The copper trees on top reflect some of the words. When Josh proposed, he gave Chelsea a notebook inscribed with this favorite poem of hers and added the words "Marry Me?" So it was very appropriate to include as part of their wedding decor. Looks like there is an antique sword in the back but I did not ask what that meant!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivUs72MYIJW4hGnhUiem-dyYXGM_MrmBB0naVJYYVG1h-nGtDLSiF3kIhzEeEsqWrhSX1L_ylsLMa6zS4ce28fhZ3vDmRcU9vjlV5qFKdaY6R1QxKiY8NpIXAQUJ_-L2bPWfBSl8mgfEs/s1600/DSCN7068.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivUs72MYIJW4hGnhUiem-dyYXGM_MrmBB0naVJYYVG1h-nGtDLSiF3kIhzEeEsqWrhSX1L_ylsLMa6zS4ce28fhZ3vDmRcU9vjlV5qFKdaY6R1QxKiY8NpIXAQUJ_-L2bPWfBSl8mgfEs/s1600/DSCN7068.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Their color scheme was this rich magenta and the pretty floral arrangements and the bouquets by <a href="http://www.trebellaflorist.com/" target="_blank">Tre Bella Flowers</a> reflect it beautifully.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNl3MOJdGfyY6jW6wQ51T_ogH_G_GQZHpVImukg6eXGeLb5N6oAB2qbbv_dxpjqsie02AUv99GaMoN9TrpxjM7WBqxcaqrIrrE1N21DhvHCVb4Jizdq2YV-DIWkNxX2rWZlqlG_tfXS5g/s1600/DSCN7069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNl3MOJdGfyY6jW6wQ51T_ogH_G_GQZHpVImukg6eXGeLb5N6oAB2qbbv_dxpjqsie02AUv99GaMoN9TrpxjM7WBqxcaqrIrrE1N21DhvHCVb4Jizdq2YV-DIWkNxX2rWZlqlG_tfXS5g/s1600/DSCN7069.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>For their "guest book," they had their guests fill our some cards that rated how much they were enjoying the wedding, how far they traveled to be there, what they really looked forward to at the wedding and their advice for a long and happy marriage.

Josh had not had a date in 3 years and was incredibly nervous for their first date. The restaurant they went to was so loud they couldn't talk so the first date was not the best. However, Josh persevered, asked Chelsea on a second date and brought one of his best men, Dustin, along with him for fortification and it worked! They had a fabulous time and a few weeks later they officially became a couple.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz4xeYbmwttgTPPR12lMDAAITAnlhMUBnIaDYKpXwROPi9M3tLF-fui0_4F5Fn8i7G8nJQ8q8nOpXD1jxOS6hl8Ld3v9GQLLaBXHe3YkvciqnzGSZ642HQxFjuczaM0LyZZ2puY3Tp-CM/s1600/DSCN7130.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz4xeYbmwttgTPPR12lMDAAITAnlhMUBnIaDYKpXwROPi9M3tLF-fui0_4F5Fn8i7G8nJQ8q8nOpXD1jxOS6hl8Ld3v9GQLLaBXHe3YkvciqnzGSZ642HQxFjuczaM0LyZZ2puY3Tp-CM/s1600/DSCN7130.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>Josh proposed on January 11, 2013 after having secretly asked Chelsea's parents for their blessings to marry their daughter.
