Julie and Evan share a magical wedding in the Raleigh Rose Garden - May 30, 2009

The Raleigh Rose Garden sits in a quiet little ravine behind the Raleigh Little Theater and contains literally thousands of roses. It is a wonderful place for a wedding, especially when the roses are in bloom - and the roses were in beautiful full bloom for Julie and and Evan’s wedding.

We had magical elements for the wedding that day; two absolutely adorable Flower Girls with huge blue eyes, wearing fairy wings and carrying wands. Each entered with a little dog on flower-strewn leashes and each dog was wearing fairy wings of their own. Our handsome young Ring Bearer carried the rings on a pillow with a large blue rose that matched the color of the fairy wings and dog leashes.

Evan’s last name begins with M and he and Julie were privileged to enter and leave their wedding ceremony on a monogrammed runner, lovingly made by the Maid of Honor. It was the first time I had ever seen that done. What a thoughtful gift it was and one that it is sure to become a family heirloom.

Making sure the music was perfect and we were all in sync to it was our DJ, Stephen Scott, of Show Pro Events. It was the first time I have worked with Stephen and I will be looking forward to our working together again. He came to the rehearsal and was very helpful there and also for the wedding. He is a real professional who loves his work and it shows. He has a big, infectious grin and you could tell he was enjoying himself. It’s always fun to work with people who love what they do.

The photographer for the day was Carolyn Scott (no relation to DJ Stephen) of Carolyn Scott Photography. She moved here recently from Pennsylvania and hopes to find a good home here in the south. There was a beautiful wedding portrait of Julie, taken by Carolyn, and it was displayed on the table with the Unity Candle. You couldn’t help but notice it because of Julie’s eyes. Julie has big eyes to begin with, but that portrait made them the focal point of the pose and it was magnificent. Here is a photo of it, taken from Carolyn’s Blog at her website;

Despite the heat of the day, by the time the evening wedding started there were longer shadows coming into the ravine, cooling things off, and a slight breeze started up right as we came down the aisle. It was a welcome touch to a truly beautiful day. The magical elements were indeed there for us for the wedding. Must have been those fairies.

Jen and Brad marry in Duke Gardens - May 30, 2009

Amid sunshine and flowers, Jen and Brad exchanged vows on the steps of the famous pergola in Duke Gardens. Brad was smiling from ear to ear the whole time, pretty much as he looks here in this photo. He was a very happy man to be marrying Jen at last and it was touching to see how happy they were to be together - and how happy their families and friends were for them.

The Garden looked especially beautiful that day. There seemed to be an extra sparkle in the air and all the flowers were showing off their colors. The wisteria vines around the pergola were full of bright green leaves that made a beautiful frame for the wedding and picked up the color of the Bridesmaid dresses and the sash on Jen’s dress.

Jen and Brad’s friend, Tyrel, played acoustic guitar for the ceremony and another friend, Hope, sang, “It Feels Like Home.” Hope has an incredibly beautiful voice and it sent chills down my spine as I listened to her sing. It turns out she sings professionally, lives locally and can be hired for weddings, so if you are looking for a wonderful vocalist for your wedding, be sure to contact Hope Powell. She does not yet have a website, but if you click this link you can find all her contact information on my website under “Musicians.”

Children will always steal the show and adorable little Hannah, the Flower Girl, was no exception. What a beautiful child and only 2 years old. She made it down the aisle alone and over to her mother, who was one of the Bridesmaids. Someone coaxed her a little bit with a lollipop (a clever and effective idea) but Hannah was fine even without it.

The photographers for the day were Poiema Photography, a trio of very friendly ladies. Armed with cameras, heart and kindness - not to mention skill - Casey Chappell, Angey Price and Kristin Cook were all taking some really beautiful shots. It’s a nice idea to have three photographers on staff for an event like this because they can spread out and be all over the place at once, getting more perspectives and covering more territory for the final results. Can’t wait to see the photos when they are online!

Jen and Brad worked hard to put together a special wedding and they certainly accomplished their goal. There was a lot of love and friendship and caring, and isn’t that what weddings are supposed to be all about.

Jen and Brad, with so much love and support in abundance, you are sure to be very happy together as husband and wife.

Busy day today.........

A loud knock woke us up at 11 this morning as Sam announced that he had once again cooked us breakfast. Another welcome surprise, thank you Sam!

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith was our movie of choice this morning, you can't beat a bit of Star Wars!

Following breakfast it was time to paint more Warhammer models (will post some pictures soon, well maybe as mine aren't as good as Sam's!)

Next up was colouring of a different kind as it was time for hair to be redone. I had got bored of red and so have now returned to the wonderful Mystic Violet once again. Gemima had a streak of Mystic Violet put in her fringe and Toni stayed with the red. Sam is growing his out as a friend of his said she prefers his natural hair colour (hopefully more on this story soon)

Roast dinner was accompanied by Epic Movie for silliness......... then ice cream and Buffy followed before hitting the pit

Metal, models and The Reader

After breakfast we stuck on some great music, The Poodles and Motley Crue, and spent hours building and painting out Warhammer models.

We then had dinner and settled down for the evening with yummy ice cream and watched The Reader. It was a fantastic film and one I would definitely recommend to you all.

Find out more about it here at IMDB: The Reader

Unfortunately by the end of the film I was suffering from a funny tummy (so I will spare you the details) so I ended the day going to bed feeling very sorry for myself :o(

Up early, bloody car tax!

Car tax runs out tomorrow so we were up before 10 to go the Post Office to get it all sorted. Was weird being up so early but also quite nice to be getting things done. Afterwards we popped to Asda and were delighted to get home to discover that Sam had cooked breakfast for us. It was a very unexpected but welcome surprise.

Beth and Jason set sail on the USS Happily Ever After - May 24, 2009

Beth and Jason, being unique and adventurous, decided that the perfect place for them to go after they recessed out the aisle was to get into a rowboat for their own champagne toast and some private time together. Now, as the ceremony was to be held on a raised platform over a lake, a rowboat was not a problem. But a wedding dress in a rowboat?! And heels?!! Yikes! But Jason’s eyes were sparkling when he said it so I knew it was going to happen - and happen with style. And that it did, as the guests watched from the railing above.

For their celebration, Beth and Jason wanted the framework of the wedding traditions - but with some fun and unexpected twists. My first inkling of how things were going to be different was when I first met with them and Beth told me her bridal attendants were all going to have titles. But there wouldn’t be a Maid of Honor or a Flower Girl and in fact the Ring Bearer was actually going to be a teenage girl. Her title was going to be “Little Miss Bling.” (I was hooked right then and there!) The Flower Girl was going to be the “Princess of Petals” and another little girl who was carrying in the vows to be read during the ceremony was to be “The Keeper of the Vows.” (Wow- this was going to be TONS of fun!)

Beth then explained that the Bridesmaids were all the “girls that give me strength” and their titles were going to describe what they were “made” of instead of them just being a “maid.” (Clever.) So here’s her list;

Made of Awesome (her sister in the Maid of Honor role)

Made of Friendship

Made of Music

Made of Sweetness

Made of Courage (this Brides-made is a police woman)

Jason told me that while he did not have individual titles for his Groomsmen, they were in fact the “guys that got my back” and for that reason they were all equally important to him. And I could definitely see this was true at the rehearsal and on the wedding day. Strong friendships all around.

And check out the shoe attire for after the wedding;

On hand to make the music jump and keep the soundtrack for the event going strong was the ever fun and efficient DJ Richie of RJ Entertainment. Richie and I have worked together only a few times, but I can tell you he is a consummate professional. He encourages his clients to choose music that reflects them and their style and Beth and Jason did exactly that. Listening to all the tunes they had chosen I couldn’t believe my ears. Even Bob Dylan?! Yeah! It was an eclectic mix - but then I should have expected that with Beth and Jason. Here’s a photo of DJ Richie, and the shadow in the foreground is me taking his picture. Yes, I know. Pretty klutzy. But luckily they didn’t hire me as their photographer.

Who they did hire for their photographer, though, was the husband and wife team of Erin and Joshua DeFisher. I had not met them before but they obviously work well together and from the shots I saw them taking, I can’t wait to see the rehearsal and wedding photos! Their company is J & E Photography and I went to look at their website after I got home from the rehearsal. Nice work. Based on what I saw, Beth and Jason are sure to be very pleased with the results and hopefully Erin and Josh will remember to send me some photos to post here.

The videographer, Rob Johnson of R E Johnson Productions, was an active man with a clever and practical front harness that kept his camera steady and ready - and he was fun to watch in action. He was so agile he could dart and sprint like a cat to catch the action and the videos he and his assistant, Mary Lou Bell, (who had her camera stationary on a tripod) put together are sure to be lots of fun. Wish I could be a fly on the wall while they are being watched.

The wedding and reception were held at Bass Lake Retreat in Holly Springs. This is a wonderful location for a wedding as it sits at the edge of - and extends a bit above - the water of Bass Lake. It also has a nice room for a reception, can hold a fairly good sized group inside and out, and as the day retreats and the water gets still, it takes on a serenity that just can’t be beat.

Serving up the food for the evening was the catering company, Lip Service, owned by Chef John Gilreath. Beth and the chef are long-time friends and she and her sister often help out when needed, so you can be sure that Chef John was going all out for Beth and Jason‘s wedding feast. Lip Service can be reached by phone at 919-859-8100.

Another chef in her own right was Granny Kay and she provided

all the sweet goodies. No small feat, that. I had more than one person tell me I hadn’t lived until I had tasted Granny Kay’s this or that item so I’m sure there was nothing left by the time everyone went home.

Beth and Jason did so many fun and unique things for their wedding and as I write this post, they are honeymooning in Greece. Sounds like a perfect place for a couple with such a strong zest for life!

Jennifer and Trey marry at a Carolina Blue ceremony in Chapel Hill - May 24, 2009

Jennifer and Trey met online 10 years ago when they were in ninth grade and they have been together ever since. Their lives have taken many interesting twists and turns since then and have finally brought them to UNC to complete their educations. He is currently a first year med student and she is in research with a planned direction into pharmacy. 

After 10 years together they know each other very well, so it came as no surprise that together they would work to find a way around Trey’s deep and abiding dislike of most things “wedding.” They also shared a desire to approach marriage from a modern perspective, leaving old stereotypical ideas behind. This was so strong in them that they were only willing to include a few of the traditional things one normally finds in weddings. They even wrote their own ceremony - and what a beautiful ceremony it was. It reflected their personalities and their choices and with their friend and Groomsman, Kevin, admirably performing their unique musical selections on guitar and vocals, their desire to create a wedding that was different from the norm was absolutely achieved. This wedding was all about being true to yourself and Jennifer and Trey accomplished that wonderfully. 

Because UNC is such a large part of their lives and the lives of their friends in the bridal party, Carolina Blue was the color of the day. Jennifer’s bouquet was a blue hydrangea blossom, the Bridesmaids wore Carolina Blue dresses and the Groom and Groomsmen were all sporting Carolina Blue ties. A nice look for the day.

The small, intimate ceremony took place under the pergola in the lovely Strowd Rose Garden in Tar Heel country’s, Chapel Hill. The roses were in full bloom in a riot of color and although I did not see a single blue rose among them, I don’t think anyone minded.  

There was much love and camaraderie and there were so many friend and family cameras that they had their own paparazzi! It was a great day, great fun and it touched my heart to be a part of such a special wedding. 

Jennifer and Trey, you should always stay true to yourselves for in that truth lies your best future.

Anann and Peter marry at her parents’ home in Carrboro - May 23, 2009

Anann is Canadian, raised in America. Peter is Danish. They met in Buenos Aires, currently live in Copenhagen and came to Carrboro to marry at her mother’s friendly and welcoming southern home. What a fun and interesting life they must lead!

The lovely wedding dress was designed by Anann, a jewelry designer by trade, and it was made for her by her Maid of Honor. Simple elegance with a touch of the unexpected is a great combination here. The detail on the skirt was striking in its simplicity and reminded me of butterflies flitting around in a garden. The little accenting pieces of cloth were attached to the dress in such a way that they remained free to move as Anann moved, or even as a breeze might catch them. Hopefully you can see it in these photos for it was a beautiful effect. 

I love the veiled hat and it looked wonderful on Anann. This look is starting to make a comeback after decades of neglect and I am happy to see this ultra feminine style beginning to make its return. I suspect we will start to see it more and more in the next few years and it makes perfect sense that a fashion-forward designer would decide to use it for herself.

The wedding took place in the front yard of Anann’s parents’ home with lush greenery everywhere. In the area where we stood there were two urns of elaborate spring flowers on each side of us and hanging from the tree between them were the most clever flower arrangements I had ever seen. Suspended from branches were small, antique bottles of many shapes and each contained a flower of varying colors and types. It made for a charming and colorful backdrop and it was just stunning. Simple beauty showcased again in an unexpected way. 

So here in North Carolina, within a garden setting of floating flowers and lush, green plants, Anann in her “butterfly” dress and Peter in his grey suit without a tie (that had just the right sense of casual refinement), said their vows among friends and family from all over the world. It was wonderful to be a part of it.

There are sure to be many adventures ahead for Anann and Peter around all the corners of the world and I have no doubt they will enjoy every one!

Courtney and David celebrate their wedding with a song - May 23, 2009

It was a beautiful, crisp spring morning as Courtney and David said their vows on the front lawn and veranda of 1705 Prime, a great location for a wedding in Raleigh. Courtney and David both profess a very strong Christian faith and David plays in a Christian band that travels to churches throughout the state. Because God is at the core of their lives, they wanted God be very much at the center of their ceremony and festivities. It was so nice to see how important this was to them and we had a lovely ceremony that reflected this. We also incorporated a Unity Candle and - what a wonderful treat - Courtney and David sang a duet right before their vows. Their friend and Groomsman, Lucas, accompanied them on keyboard. It was a very touching moment and I’m sure everyone who was there will never forget it.

Red was in abundance everywhere; in the Bridesmaid dresses, the bouquets, the sash on Courtney’s dress, the table decorations and even in the cascading sash on their wedding cake, provided beautifully and caringly by Cinda of Cinda’s Creative Cakes. David told me that strawberries are Courtney’s favorite fruit (which explains the red) and that while they were dating they used to feed each other chocolate covered strawberries. (How romantic!) Their elegant wedding cake took its style and decoration from this romantic part of their history and had chocolate covered strawberries festooned down the sides. The very clever and adorable cake topper was a pair of Bride and Groom strawberries appropriately dressed in dark and white chocolate. You could tell a lot of heart went into the design of this cake and I tip my hat to Cinda for all the care and obvious attention to detail she took to create it.

The music for the day was provided by Island Sound, a DJ company well-renowned for creating a lively party. Allen and Peter were on hand for the day to keep things going well and that they did - in spades. They were very professional and knew just how to make everything flow perfectly while the guests shared the good times of the celebration. Having a great DJ does make a world of difference.

Their photographer was Jim Colman of Jim Colman Photography. He and I had recently worked together and it was great to see him again. I love watching him work and try to see what it is he is seeing when he moves everyone “just so.” I have seen him photograph a bride through the beveled glass of doors and have been amazed at all the unique ways he has used to photograph wedding couples. Guess that’s what makes him such a professional! He sent me some photos of myself at the wedding and I have included the one above that captures the happy spirit of the ceremony and the day. Thanks, Jim!

The flowers were provided by Janice Cutler of North Raleigh Florist. In keeping with the color scheme, everything was red and white, but she also cleverly put pearls into the flowers of Courtney’s bouquet, setting off the red of the roses beautifully. Such a simple little thing with such a big impact.

It was a beautiful day for the celebration of a beautiful love. Courtney and David, I know that with God at the center of your love and your lives, you will have a wonderful life together as you build up your treasures in Heaven.

Rise of the spicy hot lycan wings

OK, I'll admit it, I am being silly now!
A very tired out Toni was treated to the rarity of me sorting out most of dinner: salad, rice and spicy hot chicken wings.
We sat down and munched and enjoyed Underworld 3: Rise Of The Lycans

Have I ever mentioned that I love vampires? Have I ever mentioned that I love the Underworld movies? Well consider that little matter now cleared up cos I do. Although sadly lacking the delicious Kate Beckinsale Underworld 3 still stands its ground as a requel and fills in some history very well.

Vampires and Werevolves on a Friday night, RESULT!

Feathers-n-Pearls Blog is a fun journey through planning a wedding

When I meet with couples to put together the framework for their ceremonies, they bring in the things they would like to include from either the resource materials I provide them or from anywhere, really, that they find something they like. Melissa and Alan have a wedding coming up very soon and when we got together recently to create the framework for their ceremony, I learned of the wedding blog she has been keeping for over a year. She calls it Feathers-n-Pearls (great name!) and it is her wedding planning journey, told with humor, creativity and TONS of useful and unexpected information. All brides - previous and upcoming - will see themselves in the pages of her posts and will smile with her as she begins her quest for the perfect wedding for she and Alan. (And based on yesterday’s post (5/28/09), it looks like Alan has been doing some great planning of his own. Nice job, Alan!) You are sure to enjoy the reading and find a lot of useful information for your own wedding planning.

All the photos here are by April Sirit, their engagement and wedding photographer. April’s company is Evoke Photography and although based in Raleigh, NC, she travels to locations all over the world to photograph her clients. My goodness, she is good! Lots of edgy looks and modern style with a nod to the traditional.



These photos jumped out at me the most from Melissa’s blog - but it was hard to only choose a few!! April has a great style and seemed to catch the different sides of Melissa and Alan perfectly.

June 12, 2009 is almost here and I can’t wait to be a part of what is sure to be a very special wedding day!

Update: Their wedding was WONDERFUL! Here’s a link to the post I wrote about it.

Sikkim Travel

Sikkim is the fascinating land of the mighty Khangchendzonga. The little Indian Himalayan state, snuggled in the heart of the Himalayas, which ripples with mists and clouds and the plenititude of rhododendrons, orchids and the abundance of other flowers is paradise revisited. The turbulent water streams and rivers are the channels of peace and tranquility in the state and the other hand the numerous monasteries and quaint shopping complexes mesmerize the voyager with lot of fun and excitement who is off on a journey to explore Sikkim.

Tour to Sikkim leaves some kind of sentience in the memory of a traveler. Located on the eastern part of the Himalayas and spread below the mighy Khanchendzonga, the third highest mountain range in the world is considered as sacred by the Sikkimese in India. The magnificence of great mountain ranges, faltering valleys, gushing rivers and glorious hills, Sikkim is must visit place on the sightseeing tour to India. The most amazing aspect is the change of temperature that pervade as we as we travel from from the colder mountain areas to the sub tropical hotter areas. The state is blessed with the natural asset of the great flora and fauna, exotic wildlife, vibrant glacier s and the entire topography is simple 'wow'.

The state boots of the numerous hot springs which contain lot of medicinal prosperities. Some of the most popular among them are Reshi, Yumthang, Ralang etc. There are around 200 monasteries or 'Gompas' in Sikkim belonging to the Nyingma and Kagyu order, that are part of the great cultural heritage of the state. Sikkim is also renowned for its glittering lakes that are spring fed as well as river fed. Among all the lakes in Sikkim, Tsomgo Lake, which passes between Gangtok and Nathu La, is most fascinating.

Last but not the least is the Teesta river, which flows right across the length of the Sikkim. The ribver joins Brahmaputra river in Bangladesh. It is fed by the snow melting on the mountains as well as rain that conglomerate in the catchment area during the monsoons.

Good luck Toni

Good luck Toni on your first day back at work.
Hope you have fun and all goes well

In an effort to provide our viewing audience with a little context about our impending nuptials, we present the rundown of how I scared the everliving out of Lisa popped the question.

No Girls Allowed

Due to feeling really meh and tired today I ended up NOT going to see Girls Aloud as i really didn't feel up to dragging myself all the way across London to Wembley to see them. I would probably have gone if it had been at The O2 Arena but Wembley was just too far. I was kind of gutted as I really really wanted to see them but I was just not in a gigging mood and know that I wouldn't have enjoyed it and would have been totally exhausted.

On the plus side there was one girl allowed as me not going to the gig meant that Toni could come over much earlier and we could spend some time together (rather the original plan of her picking me up after the gig and then driving me back to SWF, as she needed some bits for starting work tomorrow, and going to bed and not spending time together). We had a light meal and watched Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines and then had an early night.

Evolution RIP

Tis a sad day!
Just found out that Evolution has now closed. Although I didn't really frequent it once management changed and Katie left it was still a great place that had great potential. Through Evo I have made some amazing friends and thankfully I still have them even though the club is no more.

Had some really fantastic nights there, especually at Vendetta. I have some very fond memories!

Happy Birthday Pete

Happy Birthday Pete McDonald

You might have kept it quiet in the office but I know it's your birthday.
Hope you have a great day, at least once you leave the office LMFAO

Meh!

Meh! Crap night, feck all sleep, knackered before I have even started work, feeling generally run down, not good :o( *grumble grumble*

Back to the gym and rasslin'

Sam and I returned to the gym for the first time in a few weeks (due to Sam's back being out of action). It was nice to get back into it again, albeit at a slower pace than we were used to. We have both committed to going at least 3 times a week from now on, where possible.

Once we were home and relaxed, we grabbed a bit to eat and then settled down to catch up some WWE, namely Friday Night Smackdown and Monday Night Raw. Sad it may be but we enjoy it and its a great way to veg!

Mega 40K battle!

Today was mega battle day. After a morning of eating a hearty breakfast and then preparing our armies we got down to 40K business. This battle was slightly different to the norm in that we agreed that Sam could field a 2000 point Chaos/Necron army and Toni, Aaron and I would field a combined 2000 point army against Sam comprising of Witch Hunters, Orks and Eldar but we would all be together on the same turn.

It was still very long (partly because we were clarifying some rules as we went along) but it was much more enjoyable than our last big battle as everyone seemed more focussed.

Sam had a pretty convincing victory but it was still great fun.

Following our warfare we then had some gorgeous chicken and rice and watched Futurama "Bender's Game"

Shopping, lunch and modelling

We went to Games Workshop in Chelmsford today to pick up some more Warhammer 40K stuff. Sam met us there, with Sophie, Scarlett and Shane, as he had been staying with Sophie since Friday. Following our shopping we descended on Pizza Hut to grab a bite to eat before Sophie, Scarlett and Shane went off and we headed back to SWF.

Once home we then got stuck into building our Warhammer 40K models. I was delighted as I managed to get nearly all of mine built, some of which had neen hanging around for months. All of this modelling was in preparation for a big battle that we had planned for bank holiday Monday.
