Today was a beautiful day for our last wedding of the year. Laura and Michael were married at the Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine. Laura, her maid of honor and her parents arrived in a white carriage drawn by a white horse. She was very beautiful in a formal white gown with silver embroidery. Her groom wore a cream colored suit and they made a lovely couple. Laura and Michael opted for a traditional religious ceremony with a unity candle. They were very lucky that the candle stayed lit. The considerable breeze quieted down in time for the ceremony and everything went as hoped. They had a harpist for the ceremony music and a stunning solo of Ave Maria sung by one of the guests during the unity candle ceremony. Laura and Michael are from Wisconsin so I am sure they appreciated the upper 70 degree weather with bright sunshine. We wish you all a very happy New Year. Our next wedding is New Year's day which happens to be our anniversary. What a great way to start a new year.

We have been taking a short break. Our next wedding is December 28th at the Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine, and then on January 1, our anniversary, we are performing a wedding at the Yacht Club in Palm Coast. We wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a safe and sane New Year's eve. We pray that the coming year will bring relief from the many problems some of our friends are suffering. I am not sure how, but God works miracles if we pray. We can't put our trust and hope in one person. We must each do our best to turn things around and with God's grace it can be done. Love to all.

Two different weddings

Saturday, Dec. 6th, was a busy day for weddings. At 11:30 AM David and Shalea along with their combined five children, were married at Hershel King Park in Palm Coast. Shalea also has a son serving in the military who could not attend but he was included in the medallion ceremony and a medallion was placed on a picture of him and will be sent to him. Having a picture of him up with the rest of the children was not as good as having him there but it helped his mom feel a little better about missing him. The backdrop of the intracoastal waterway was a lovely addition to the scene and it turned out to be a beautiful warm day in spite of the cold weather we have been having lately.
Our son Brett came down from New Jersey to visit for the week and having not seen him in almost a year, we knew how hard it is to miss a loved one. Brett works hard and doesn't get much time off so we treasure his visits very much.
At 4:30 that same day Diane and Shaun were married in the garden of The Oldest House in St. Augustine. Diane had a large wedding party of beautiful bridesmaids and handsome groomsmen. The bridesmaids wore cranberry colored gowns which were enhanced by the holiday decorations. Each bride should have the wedding just right for her, and each of the two ceremonies that day were very different. One was a celebration of the creating of a combined family and the other was a first wedding centered on the couple and acknowledging the part that friends and family play in supporting a couple with their love. That is our goal: to be sure each bride gets the wedding of her dreams.

St. Augustine wedding

The Peck House on St. George Street in St. Augustine was the setting for the November 21st wedding of Michael and Susan. It was a very cold evening by Florida standards but the bridal couple seemed not to notice. Large propane heaters were brought in for the garden ceremony and reception and the DJ, Captain Kirk, a good friend of ours, kept everyone up and dancing which helped them keep warm. He is streaming the video of the wedding on his website www.heartbeatofflagler.com. You can't hear the ceremony very well unless you turn your sound all the way up because his microphone didn't reach but the guests could hear just fine. Rev. Ted can be very loud when he has to be. Michael and Susan love St. Augustine and go there every chance they get. There are many beautiful sites in St. Augustine for weddings. Next weekend we are going to do a wedding at The Oldest House in St. Augustine and in January at the Fountain of Youth. We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We were able to have the family together for the first time in many years so it was expeciallly wonderful for us. On Saturday we won first place for our '66 Mustang at the Volusia Regional Antique Car Show in Ormond Beach. It is a date we save every year for the parade on Friday and show on Saturday. Last year we did a wedding at the Daytona Raceway Thanksgiving weekend. We wish that lovely couple (they know who they are) a very happy first anniversary.

November

November has been a very busy month. After a long weekend with the granddaughter at Disney World and Universal Studios, we came home for the Novembe 2nd wedding of Marcus and Alyssa at the Sunset Harbor Yacht Club in Daytona Beach. Unfortunately it was a rainy day so the ceremony had to be held indoors. Alyssa was a really good sport about the changes and the wedding turned out beautifully. This couple had a memorial for the grandparents, and a sand ceremony with silvery white and pink sand. They wrote their own vows to each other and the warm and heartfelt sentiments expressed in their vows nearly brought me to tears. And I thought I had heard everything!

On November 8th Kezia and Sean were married at Anastasia State Park in St. Augustine. Their beach wedding was held under sunny skies, but it was a pleasantly warm day. Not to hot and not too windy. Kezia's colors were black and white with a touch of red. They also chose to have a memorial ceremony and a sand ceremony and had a medallion ceremony for Kezia's son who touched everyone's heart when he said he at last had a real daddy.

Later that same day Tim and Liz tied the knot at Princess Place in Palm Coast. Their colors were red and black with a touch of white. The bride wore a white gown embroidered in red with a red inset in the train. She got it at Agnes' Bridals right here in Palm Coast. They were married between two huge live oak trees under which we set the arch. They also had a memorial for their respective mothers and a sand ceremony with red and black sand. A medallion ceremony for their three sons was included. The ceremony finished off with a recessional of the "Throne Room" music from Star Wars, a beautiful piece of music.

Chapel in the Garden

Monday is an unusual day for a wedding, but since it was a holiday for some, Bill and Regina chose this Columbus Day for their wedding at the Chapel in the Garden. It is a lovely setting for a wedding. A short rain shower forced everyone indoors for a few minutes during the picture taking after the ceremony, but it stopped as quickly as it began and the photographs on the picturesque grounds continued. Pink and black were the colors of the day. The bridesmaid and maid of honor wore pink gowns and the two flower girls were in black with pink sashes. Regina was regal in her elegant gown with a cathedral train. A reception followed on site at the tavern in the garden. Regina and Bill had laminated photos of their relationship to date and had them floating in water in tall urns on the reception tables. We had never seen this done before and it was a very personal and interesting touch. They also had crystal bells on the tables for the guests to ring to have the couple kiss, but Bill and Regina needed little coaxing. Our good friend and colleague from the Volusia Wedding Professionals, Len Pepe, did the photography and was never still for a second the entire time.

Destination Wedding from Alaska

Hello again. It has been a very busy month. Next month looks a little quieter so far and the holidays are always a time to relax for us as people tend to not get married as much that time of year. We have a couple of weddings in December and one on New Year's Day which happens to be our anniversary.
Thursday we did a destination wedding for Amber and Mark who came from Anchorage Alaska to sunny warm Florida for their wedding. They went on cruise to the Bahamas with some of their family members and had their wedding before heading back to Alaska. Unfortunately, the weather turned really bad with thunder and lightening and torrential rain so the beach ceremony was moved indoors to the hotel conference room. Luckily they had had great weather the rest of their trip but we wish the rain had at least let up for the ceremony. This is only the second time I can ever remember having to move a ceremony indoors.
Be sure to ask us about doing your destination wedding. We have several time shares and can get very reasonable rates for bonus weeks. We can put together an affordable package for your wedding here in Flagler County. Just ask

Palm Coast Wedding

Last evening Laura and Jared were married on the grand lawn at the Ginn Resort in Palm Coast. It was a destination wedding with most of the guests we met coming from Massacusetts. one of the young men at our table came from the Phoenix, Arizona area. Flagler County, in which Palm Coast is located, is a great place for destination weddings. In addition to the Ginn resort, we have Hiltons, Holiday Inns and many other hotels. One new hotel opened recently and two more are in the process of being built. We are able to get special deals for couples arranging a block of rooms for their guests. We have beautiful, quiet beaches and botanical gardens, dining options from fast food to the finest dining anywhere at a much lower cost than most parts of the country. We are located right between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach so there is plenty to do to keep your guests busy, and being only a little more than an hour from Orlando gives an abundance of fun for you and your guests.
Laura wore a beautiful full length lace gown, simple in construction which was perfect for a lawn wedding. Her bridesmaids wore street length orange strapless dresses which would be perfect sundresses for any occasion, but also perfect for the setting of the wedding. The men were in khaki pants and white dress shirts, also suiting the setting to a "T". Their reception was a buffet in the Atlantic Ballroom with a band for entertainment, which I have to say is getting more unusual these days as most brides choose DJs, but it was a good choice for the elegant tone of the reception.
Just a word on receptions. It is not necessary to invite the officiant to the reception. We understand that it is an added expense to what may already be a tight budget and we are not at all offended when not invited to stay. We do, however, enjoy spending some more time with the couples we marry and we usually get to know them so well by the time we do the wedding, that we almost feel like part of the family. We have thoroughly enjoyed everything from back yard barbecues to elegant formal dinners. There is no perfect reception except the one that is perfect for you and your personality.

Simple Elegance

Erica and Joseph were married Saturday at the Jacksonville Golf and Country Club. They were married on the lawn overlooking the golf course. Joseph is in the Navy and the couple was disrupted twice this summer when hurricanes approached Key West where they are stationed. They still managed to plan their wedding despite all the upheaval. The only kink was when their chair covers were delivered to the wrong venue. I guess when they changed venues the rental company did not get the message, but they were intercepted on their way back to their headquarters and were re-directed to the correct place in time for the reception. It is a good idea to call all the vendors the week before the wedding to make sure everyone is on the same track. Erica and Joseph had a violinist play their ceremony music. It was a lovely touch.
They had fun during the ceremony as Rev. Ted worked to calm their nerves. Erica's mom was on the verge of tears over her "baby" getting married, but Ireminded her that she might have grandchildren in her future now and that is the best fun ever.

Matanzas Beach Wedding

Friday evening was the wedding of Peter and Tracy at the beach at Matanzas State Park. We played some caribbean steel drum music on our portable Bose system. It made for a very festive atmosphere. The bridesmaids wore pretty flowered sun dresses and the bride wore a traditional wedding gown. Tracy and Peter altered the traditional sand ceremony so that Tracy's three children could participate. Each of the five of them had a different color of sand and the resulting combined container was extraordiary. Tracy's older daughter was a junior bridesmaid and her younger daughter was the flower girl who took her duty very seriously. Her son was the ring bearer, but wisely did not actually carry the rings. Rings have been known to fall between the boards of the walkway or drop into the sand so it is never a good ideal to have the real rings carried by any child. If you are using a ring pillow, use cheap plastic rings to tie onto the pillow and keep the real ones with the best man, maid of honor, or the minister. The child can walk up to the couple and pretend to give them the rings, and everyone accepts this whether they think he has the real rings or not. I am sure Peter, Tracy and their children will have a very happy family life together.

Rehearsals

I would like to say a few words about wedding ceremony rehearsals. We don't do them. There are many reasons for this decision on our part not to do wedding rehearsals.
First, our brides get to read their wedding ceremonies in plenty of time before the wedding so they know what takes place when. During the ceremony they are directed by the words of the ceremony to what comes next. For the most part, they are standing there in front of the Reverend and standing at a forty five degree angle to him so they can see each other and him and their guests can see them. The only time they have to move is to do the unity candle or sand ceremony or a medallion ceremony. Then they just have to move a little bit and they can see where they have to go. Then of course, they kiss at the end, but this comes naturally.
Second, rounding up attendants to run through the processional is like herding greased pigs. Some can't make it because they have to work late, others have prior obligations. You would be amazed. The ones that come are impatient to get it over and get to the partying and are paying no attention. The ones that sort of pay attention forget the next day what was done the night before. I asked a group of groomsmen what they did at the rehearsal last week and they said "got drunk." You get the picture. The ones that didn't come get panicked because they don't know what to do and they think the others do. (They don't either).
Third, if you are having your ceremony at a country club, hotel, banquet hall, then they have paid staff to run though the rehearsal if you insist. Just fill us in quickly when we get there so we know what is going on and everything is fine. If you are having a home, beach or garden wedding, the weather could change everything anyway. We have been doing this for years and we know what we are doing. You have been walking a straight line for years and you know what you are doing. We just need to know which one is the best man, which one is the maid of honor and you can email us any special details like if the parents are entering to music, if the bride is being escorted by her father or whomever, and if you want the men to wait up front or escort the bridesmaids down the aisle. We need to charge for our time and travel and we do not want to cause you any unneeded expense by having a rehearsal that is not needed. If you want to party, that's fine. Use is as an occasion to give your attendants their gifts and to give them a rough idea of the order they will enter and where they will stand. We will be glad to discuss this with you but we don't need to be there.

A beautiful chapel

Sunday, Sept 21st was the wedding of Kenneth and Katherine. They were married at the Preservation Hall in Jacksonville. This is a rather small chapel which is perfect for a church wedding for those with no church affiliation. The chapel seats about eighty which is a nice size for a wedding. They had the reception on the lawn outside the chapel. The day before it rained heavily almost all day, but Kenneth and Katerine had a lovely day for their outdoor reception. Immediately after the ceremony the sky was misting a little bit but it was not enough to dampen the festivities, and the clouds kept it from being oppressively hot. Katherine's white gown had a brilliant light blue sash which beautifully accented her gown. The bridesmaids were in blue and the groomsmen had blue vests and ties. We made up their books of the ceremony with blue sky and white cloud covers. They had light blue and white sand for their sand ceremony. Their ceremony music was a collection of their favorites including "The Way You Look Tonight" for the attendants, "God Bless the Broken Road" for the bride and "At Last" for the recessional. Kenneth and Katherine were delightful to work with and we wish them a long and happy life together.

Two in one day

Last Saturday, the 13th, was a very busy day. We had two weddings, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. Orange Park was the setting for the 3 PM wedding of Audrey and Brandon. Audrey chose a black and white theme. Her white dress had a black sash to accent it and her bridesmaids and groom and groomsmen all wore black. Her cake was black and white as were the table settings. The wedding was held at the Oakleaf Plantation clubhouse. It was a beautiful venue with an elegant double staircase and gardens for a backdrop. She had a memorial candle for her father before the start of the ceremony and was given away by her uncle who said it was he and his brother (Audrey's father) who were giving her away.

5:30 in the evening Tina and Richard were married at the Ginn Ocean Hammock resort in Palm Coast. They had the ceremony on the lawn in front of the resort with Tina descending the grand staircase to greet her groom. There was a view of the ocean from the lawn and it was an elegant event. Her reception was outdoors and featured a cake by one of our favorite bakers, Publix supermarket, who made her a cake decorated with icing calla lillies with a topper to match. I am always amazed at the work they do.

Destination Weddings

This past Monday, Maleeka and Terrance came down from Illinois to be married on one of our fabulous beaches. The weather was absolutely beautiful. We had the unusual pleasure of being with them while they applied for their license, and then we took them to the beach in front of our timeshare at the Royal Floridian Resort. There is no waiting time for out-of-state residents so if your are being married on a weekday, you can get the license in the morning and be married before the ink dries on it. Since we own several time shares we can often be of help in getting you accomodations at a very reasonable rate. Be sure to ask us if you are coming down to fabulous central florida for your wedding.

Gator's fans wedding

Last evening was a very unusual, fun, but very elegant wedding. Emily and Matthew both attended the University of Florida and are ardent Gators fans. The wedding colors were orange and blue, the colors of the Gators team. After the vows, the best man, Jeff, attached a ball and chain to Matthew's ankle to the delight of Emily. Even their cake topper had a bride holding a key to the ball and chain on the groom's ankle. Also on the cake table were a pair of toy alligators dressed as a bride and groom. As the couple had their first kiss as husband and wife, all the guests donned plastic blue and orange sunglasses with big noses attached which caused Rev. Ted to almost break down laughting as he wasn't expecting to look up to see that spectacle. The wedding and reception were held at the Ginn Hammock Dunes Resort which did a beautiful job in decorating the ballroom in blue and orange. John Edwards, a country song writer and singer came in from Nashville to do a few songs just for the newlyweds. And of course the Gators fight song was played along with many country favorites during the reception. To top off the celebration, Emily just got word that she has passed the bar exam and is now an attorney. Best wishes to them both.

The end of August

Brandon and Stacy were married at the Palatka Ravine Gardens in Palatka on Saturday, August 23rd. We had never been there before and it is a really beautiful place and a great backdrop for a wedding. I am sure their pictures, taken by our good friend and photographer Bill Vodek, were spectacular. Even if you are not getting married, I recommend a trip to the gardens. It is as beautiful as anything we saw on our vacation to Tahiti, Bora Bora and Hawaii. After a few days celebrating our Granddaughter Kaylie's ninth birthday in Coconut Creek, we came back to work with a wedding Thursday at Washington Oaks. It seems to be a very popular place this summer. Mike and Brandy were married at the Gazebo with just a few friends and relatives present. A wedding does not have to be big to be special. All three weddings this week were intimate events with just a few guests. Saturday Sean and Christina were married on the beach at Jacksonville Beach. There was a huge storm cloud approaching as the ceremony neared its end, but we heard from our other photographer, John Hyder, that he had plenty of time to finish up the beach pictures before it started to rain. Sean and Christina came down from Georgia to our beautiful beach for their wedding. Sunday was another Washington Oaks wedding. Brian and Stephanie were wed in the morning with just the immediate family present and also had their wedding in the Gazebo. They were amused by the story of the time I was taking some pictures of a wedding in the Gazebo and fell into the pond next to it. I am glad that at that time I did not know about the snakes in it. They don't bother anyone who stays on the path, but to swim with them is something else.

Washington Oaks Wedding

Last Sunday was the wedding of Jennifer and Jason. They were married under a huge, old, magnificent live oak tree at Washing Oaks state park. This park is a popular and beautiful site for weddings. For just the couple and a few guests, the gazebo is a lovely site by the pond. The sea wall site overlooks the intracoastal waterway and is surrounded by tropical vegetation. The octagon is a large brick platform which the bride can approach through the rose garden. These last two sites can hold a much larger number of guests. Chairs are not necessary except for elderly or infirmed guests as with a fifteen to twenty minute ceremony, most guests are comfortable enough standing. If it is very warm, you can do what Jennifer and Jason did which was to give each guest a fan with the bridal couple's name on it, but the trees offer some shade which helps.

It's August!

I can't believe a whole month has passed. The summer is flying by. Time has been spent with our beautiful, smart and talented granddaughter Kaylie as well as working on future weddings. September is going to be a very busy month. After a vacation with family we got back to work with a wedding for a lovely couple having a sunrise wedding at the beach. The sun came up with all its glory at 7 AM but the couple did not arrive until 7:30. Their ceremony was still lovely, but it was hard for the photographer because the sun was at a point where it was glaring into his lens. Be sure to check the sunrise tables and ask the locals before planning a time for your sunrise wedding, and then be on time. The sun waits for no one.
On sunday the 27th of July, Chris and Attie had a wedding in the back yard of the beach house they rented in Ormond Beach. The weather was great but a little hot. It is important to remember that when you are having an outdoor wedding in the summer (which in this part of Florida runs from May through October), to keep the ceremony under twenty minutes. That is about as long as your guests can be expected to sit or stand in the sun. Also, if you are having the reception outdoors as well, provide shade. Chris and Attie rented tents which were a needed respite from the hot sun.

July 3 was the beach wedding of Barbara and Fred. It was a private wedding with just her mom and dad as witnesses. Barbara and Fred are from Green Cove Springs and came down to Flagler Beach for a vacation and wedding. There are very few places where you can have complete privacy on the beach, but Flagler Beach is one of them. This Thursday is another quiet beach wedding for Cindy and Jay. They will be having the big celebration later when they return home. Then we are off to visit our granddaughter for a few days in Ft. Lauderdale. I think a trip to the water park is included in this trip. It was a hectic three day weekend for the Fourth of July holiday with a car show, parade and picnic barbecue. We hope your Fourth was safe and happy too.

Something different

Last sunday, June 22 was the wedding of Angelica and Sean at the Sunset Harbor Yacht Club. It was a lovely and elegant affair. This couple were high school sweethearts who waited until they had established their careers and bought a house and were finally ready to take the big step of getting married. Yesterday was something really different. We performed a double wedding of Peggy and Keith and Peggy's daughter Shannon and her fiance Chad. It was a Hawaiian themed wedding with real orchid leis flown in from Hawaii for the celebration. Rev. Ted and I had a chance to wear the outfits we bought in Maui last October. We had a first in that this wedding had to be moved indoors because of a horrific thunderstorm which started just moments before the ceremony. The storm was headed away and then turned around and came back. We can no longer say it has never rained on one of our weddings so if you catch us saying it out of habit be sure to remind us of this one.

Last weekend was the wedding of Brandon and Hillary in Jacksonville Beach. Once again the weather was perfect. Brandon and Hillary had the stone ceremony where all their guests walked down to the water's edge at the beach and threw special polished stones with which they had placed their wishes for the couple, as far into the water as they could so that the wishes could be carried out to sea and up to God. Everyone seemed to have a good time. The next morning we left for a long awaited vacation to New Hampshire and Massacusetts to do some ancestry research. It was very successful as we completed four lines of ancestors for Ted. We look forward to being back home to do two weddings next weekend. Nothing like getting right back into the swing of things.

catching up

Danny and Kelly's wedding at Washington Oaks was beautiful. Although rain threatened, it stayed away until the wedding was over. It was held on the beachside of the park. Danny and Kelly are from the middle part of the country so they were delighted to have the ocean as a backdrop. The heavy clouds made the pictures more interesting and kept the temperature down to a tolerable level.

We took off Memorial weekend to spend some time with our daughter Ariel and granddaughter Kaylie. We went to Disney's Animal Kingdom and had a great time. The Mt. Everest Expedition roller coaster is the best ever! We stayed two nights in Orlando and then came back home. The next day we went up to St. Augustine. We got to the fort just before they were going to fire off the muskets and cannons so we had an unexpected treat. We took the trolly ride around the city and had Kaylie's picture taken in a victorian outfit. So cute. She is doing a report on St. Augustine in fourth grade next year so she took a lot of pictures and collected a lot of information. She made the gifted class for next year and we are so proud of her.

The 7th of June we have two weddings, one in Jax Beach and one in Palm Coast so we will be very busy.

The past week and things to come

It has been a very busy week. Last week we had a wedding on Flagler Beach. Just the couple, Sherri and Joseph, were there (besides us of course), but is was a beautiful ceremony nonetheless. Sherri and Joseph had to head up to Pennsylvania for a family emergency right after the ceremony, so we didn't get to spend much time with them. We are sending them our prayers that everything works out according to God's plan and that they are comforted by Him in their time of need.

Saturday was a bright and beautiful day for the wedding of Dustin and Calley at the Ginn Hammock Beach resort. They had the ceremony on the events lawn. Dustin and Calley had the sand ceremony (orange and ivory sand) as part of their wedding. They gave out flip flops and fans to all the guests in keeping with the beach theme. They used large conch shells to hold their sand which was a unique touch. They flowers were orange calla lillies for the bridesmaids and white calla lillies for the bride. The flowers were quickly renamed Calley lillies in honor of the bride.

This Saturday, May 17th will be the wedding day for Kelly and Danny. They will be having their ceremony on the beach at Washington Oaks. I will try to remember to take a picture for next weeks blog.

Wednesday's wedding

Tomorrow, May 7 is the wedding of Sherri and Joseph. They are having a small romantic ceremony at the beach at Washington Oaks. They live in St. Augustine, but like the quiet, secluded beaches in Flagler County. Sherri and Joseph have been waiting seven years to tie the knot so we know that they are ready for the big day. Next Saturday is a wedding at the Ginn Resort. More about that later. Meanwhile visit our website at www.exceptionalweddings.net.

Pamela & Steven's Wedding

May 3 was the wedding of Pamela and Steven at the Deltona Inn. It was a perfect day. The weather was just a little cloudy which kept the heat down and make the photos better. When we got there Pamela was all ready and all the guest showed up on time. Pam & Steven chose the traditional wedding music: "Trumpet Voluntary", "Here comes the Bride" for the processional and Mendelssohn's "The Wedding March" for the recessional. They had blue and white sand for their sand ceremony and Steven gave Pamela's son Dylan a family medallion in the Medallion Ceremony. Dylan was a superb ring bearer marching down the aisle with such dignity and perfect posture. He was surprised by the medallion ceremony and was so pleased to be part of the ceremony. We wish Pamela and Steve all life's best and may they live long in love and happiness.

Welcome to Exceptional Weddings

Hello! Thank's for stopping by to meet us. We just want to let you know what we are up to this week. This Saturday we are doing the wedding of Steven and Pamela in Deltona. What a great couple! They were just really good friends, enjoying each other's company when they finally realized they had fallen in love. They chose the sand ceremony in royal blue and white, the colors of their wedding theme. When I spoke to Pamela today she seemed so calm and said that everything was ready to go. We are ready too and are sure everything will be just perfect on their special day.
