Chad and Shannon

Hello,

I had to hurry and tell you about a really wonderful wedding I performed tonight.

Chad and Shannon were married at “Elegance” in Florence. This couple is by far one of my favorites that I have worked with and you could feel the love they have for another just being with them in the same room.

Elegance is a very classy banquet hall that made sure that all of the details were completed and the setting perfect for the wedding. The linens were white and there was crystal stem ware and sterling silver place settings on all of the tables. Lighted candles floating in crystal vases that reflected the flames of the candles in a multi faceted effect. The lights were dimmed for the ceremony as the attendants made their way to the front.

The bride was stunning in her gown with thousands of crystals sewn to the top and a beautiful flowing shirt of satin with a long train of satin and lace. The groom was dressed in a morning coat with satin tie and vest. They were the epitome of class and elegance.

Their vows were from the heart and of course we had a misty eyed bride and groom as well as some sniffles from the family. It was truly a happy day for all of them and the joy felt was evident to everyone.

Chad and Shannon also chose to do a hand fasting ceremony after they had recited their vows. Each question I asked they answered with “we will” and I draped a ribbon over their joined hands until we had six ribbons that were then tied as one to signify their union in marriage.

I will always remember this wedding as one of my all time favorites and I will post a picture when I get one.

Good luck and God Bless…….Rev Ben
