Waterfall wedding in NC - Pearsons Falls

Well, my day started off with a smile. I received this wonderful email:

Hello Victoria!  We are back in Florida and settling in.  John and I want to thank you so much for everything!  Our ceremony turned out wonderfully and just as we had imagined.  We weren't familiar with the local waterfalls and you couldn't have suggested a more beautiful location.  The weather was perfect (no rain) and much to our surprise we had the Falls all to ourselves.  Thank you also for helping us create our own personal vows and for creating the ceremony as a whole. 

It was so sweet of you to think about our 3 daughters by giving them the heart shaped stones to remind them of our stone toss and of our special day.  They loved them- they added them to the gem collections that they obtained during a gem mining trip we took when we were there.  Please, also give your husband a huge thank you for us as well.  I know that he doesn't usually go out on location with you so it was an extra bonus to see him there and for him to be kind enough to bring his camera along!!  We can't wait to see his photos! 

June 29, 2011 was a day that neither of us will ever forget!  Thank you for sharing it with us and for helping us make it so special!  Sincerely, John & Rebecca

I will have to start off by saying June 29th was a hot summer day. But the sweaty walk and the bug bites are now a thing of the past and what we have left are wonderful wedding memories.

When Rebecca first emailed me she had a vision of what she wanted for her wedding day. It took some effort and coordination but from her email I know she and John had their dream wedding.

Rebecca made her entrance, walking behind her daughters who were blowing bubbles for her arrival.

Because of the circumstances I was not able to meet Rebecca ahead of time. It was a pleasure to finally meet her face to face.

The wedding vows were very personal and kept as a surprise until the day of the wedding. Look at their faces. 

Rebecca promised to ‘sit through the never ending episodes of House and to act as excited when you play Justin Bieber songs for me’.

And John concluded his vows by promising ‘to spend today and all of my tomorrows, with you.  To infinity and beyond..’ Wedding vows don’t have to be totally serious and it’s always fun to add some personal touches

And what a wedding memory. The first married kiss in front of a beautiful waterfall.
