Hello All,

Let me tell you about the wedding I just got back from performing. It was at the Krippendorf Lodge at the Cincinnati Nature Center in Milford, OHIO. The Krippendorf was at one time the home or Mr. and Mrs. Krippendorf. They always gave daffodil bulbs to any one who visited. After their deaths the home and all of the land was deeded to the Cincinnati Nature Center to be preserved as a wildlife/nature center.

Jeff and Katie are both chefs at a very upscale restaurant in Cincinnati and they chose the Krippendorf setting because they feel very close to the out of doors. This wedding as really cool because the Bride's Mother was the Maid-of-Honor and the Groom's Dad was his Best Man. They stood in front of the fountain on the patio, with gentle classical guitar notes in the air the wedding began. The girls dresses were unusual and a very nice alternative to the standard bride's maid dresses. They were knee length in a flower print which seemed to blend in nicely with the setting. The grooms men wore white shirts with only a vest. What a great looking group in a more relaxed style.

The Groom's Mom got up to do a reading and when she came forward she warned everyone that she was on the verge of tears. The Bride reached out and rubbed her shoulder and BOOM! the tears came, but she was able to compose herself and read one of the best versions of the Corinthians that I have ever heard.

"I DO" and rings on their fingers the Bride and Groom were ready to start their lives together.

Good Luck and God Bless..... Rev. BB
