Don’t you just love this fall weather? October was a
wonderful month and November is off to a good start. Thank goodness we didn’t
have the “Halloween” snowfall like the northern states.
The past six weeks have been very busy. I was able to
spend time at the coast for a little R & R and travel to the mountains to
officiate several weddings. With all the traveling it’s been hard to find time
to post some photos. Also, couples get busy and forget to send photos. I will at least post a couple of entries, just to give you some ideas.
If you’re planning a wedding in North
Carolina you might want to consider West Point Farms and Event Center.
I just can’t say enough about this place.
There are two cabins so the wedding
party has plenty of room to ‘chill’ before the wedding. Ceremonies take place
in an outdoor chapel, only steps away from the reception site.
There's a lovely path that leads to the Grotto.
I had the honor of officiating a very special wedding at West Point Farms a few weeks ago. Cassie and Robert have known each other since middle school. They parted ways, learned life lessons and grew as individuals. When the time was right, they 'found' each other and now they will walk the path of life together. We had several meetings at our retreat center and I enjoyed hearing their stories and helping them design a ceremony that was personal and unique.
It's always a nice touch when couples honor their families and publicly thank them for their love and support. Cassie and Robert wanted to recognize their mothers so they included a Rose Presentation at the beginning of the ceremony. The smiles on their faces said it all.
I'm afraid my photo doesn't do this justice but I will post it anyway. Cassie and Robert also included a Bell of Truce at the end of their ceremony. A nice tradition with Celtic origins.
And so, do you want to see the happy couple!
And now they're busy making memories....
