Private Wedding - Elizabeth and Paul Marry in NC

Sometimes the weather just does not cooperate and couples prefer to get married inside our main cabin. We knew the weather was questionable and waited until the last minute to make a decision. Not only was it a little chilly, there was wind and rain. Elizabeth and Paul decided that it would be more comfortable marrying inside.

 Paul and I wait patiently as Elizabeth walks down the stairs.

After all the years, it's finally their day!

Smiles, smiles and more smiles.

The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran: "You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. 

You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. 

But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of your love; 

let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your soul. 

Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. 

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. 

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone. 

Even as the strings of a lute are alone, though they quiver with the same music. 

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. 

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. 

And stand together yet not too near together: 

for the pillars of the temple stand apart, 

and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each others shadow."
