From the couple: Magical, misty, garden wedding. We wanted to utilize and enhance the already beautiful garden. We had a wedding planner and florist help with this. Natural florals and greenery. My niece sang our first dance song. Simple, clean, classic. Our vows. We met in college. Mark proposed 9 years later. It is the best day ever.

A Love Poem For The Happy Couple:

“I love you for what you are, but I love you yet more for what you are going to be.
I love you not so much for your realities as for your ideals, I pray for your desires that they may be great, rather than for your satisfactions, which may be so hazardously little.
A satisfied flower is one whose petals are about to fall. The most beautiful rose is one hardly more than a bud wherein the pangs and ecstasies of desire are working for a larger and finer growth. Not always shall you be what you are now. You are going forward toward something great. I am on the way with you and therefore I love you.”
