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.
