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.
