Michelle and Steve came to see me on August 19th about officiating their wedding on September 18, 2010. It was short notice but I had an opening that afternoon and we were all happy that I could officiate for them. (They told me that the person that was supposed to officiate their wedding canceled. I did not question them but I suspected that it might have been someone who got ordained on line to do a wedding then found out it was not an easy task to write a wedding ceremony and rather daunting to deliver a wedding ceremony!)
When we were ready to begin, Michelle was escorted in by her son, Josh. Michelle did all the flowers herself and they were so pretty. Her theme was hot pink, one of my favorites. The ceremony music was provided by James Mount, a DJ with whom I had worked before but neither of us could remember whose wedding! The clubhouse sits on some land with a pool, tennis courts and a playground. Michelle and Steve chose a location that backed up to a wooded area and rented the elegant white columns that were decorated with mums and a large topiary ball of fabric.
Michelle's beautiful daughter, Kaitlyn, was her maid of honor. Steve's best man was his handsome son, Bryan. Josh, Michelle's handsome son who escorted her in, stepped over to the side as a groomsman. It was all family for this bride and groom. Both sets of parents were in the front row and we paid tribute to them.
Their guests cheer them on as they make their way up the aisle as newlyweds!
Time to celebrate! Michelle and Steve, it was an honor to officiate your wedding and a pleasure to work with you. I wish you tons of happiness and contentment!
