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.

Adrianne and Joey's Fun and Creative Wedding!

Adrianne and Joey knew from the get-go that they wanted a unique wedding ceremony that reflected their personalities and their commitment to...

Giselle and Thomas Marry at the Museum of Life and Science!

Giselle and Thomas are a great couple and truly a great match! I loved working with them to design their very personalized ceremony and their love for each other is so evident and endearing. We first met last October when they came to see me about officiating their wedding. They chose the <a href="http://lifeandscience.org/visit/plan-a-party" target="_blank">Museum of Life and Science</a> in Durham because they are "scientifically minded" and wanted a non-religious ceremony. So, that is what we co-created with the synopsis of their love story and what they love and adore about each other. They also wanted to include their parents in the sand ceremony, beginning the foundation of their marriage with sand that symbolically represents their heritages.<br /><br />Their wedding day was May 11, 2013 and the weather forecast was foreboding of stormy weather all week for Saturday. So the tent was put in place and if the weather was too bad, the interior of the museum would be our alternate site. But, surprisingly, the storms held off and we were able to have a lovely ceremony outside under the tent.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6mPWEVHEa8LxIMJwDp8FB2XkyXP2FU7XaBc6_FJB_8drPNMWYePZR0_tfjT52S9zSC00HtJ1yFRxMC9pt8bRP35CfpPbAp852MhLiGF41_FT7OHUFCFCyFAAITvUe_S6aiphQdyQ5dLQ/s1600/DSCN0053.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6mPWEVHEa8LxIMJwDp8FB2XkyXP2FU7XaBc6_FJB_8drPNMWYePZR0_tfjT52S9zSC00HtJ1yFRxMC9pt8bRP35CfpPbAp852MhLiGF41_FT7OHUFCFCyFAAITvUe_S6aiphQdyQ5dLQ/s400/DSCN0053.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>Above is the view of the overcast cloudy sky from the entrance of the Butterfly House.
