Lois and Michael are wed in their home surrounded by family and friends!

Lois and Michael recently relocated to Raleigh and wanted to get married here. They contacted me and we met to discuss what they wanted for their ceremony. I learned that Michael had been in a terrible automobile accident last year and was lucky to be alive. All the more reason to get married! They looked around for a good place to have their wedding and finally decided it would be best to have the wedding on their deck at their lovely home in N. Raleigh. I wrote a proposed ceremony for them to which they made the changes they wanted. We included recognition and special words for each guest. Lois and I kept altering the ceremony as their friends and family members attending were increasing! Some came from as far as Canada for this special occasion.

Finally the big day arrived! When Marty and I arrived for their 3:00 wedding on May 16th, the rain clouds were looming. But, since it was not raining, we gathered on the deck overlooking their pretty back yard. Lois was escorted onto the deck by her daughter, Kelly, and surrounded by their guests, we began the ceremony. We were almost done when the big fat raindrops began falling in earnest during the exchange of rings! We quickly dashed into their living room and reassembled for the conclusion of the wedding ceremony! Standing in front of their fireplace I pronounced them married and everyone cheered! It was such a happy occasion! Have fun on your honeymoon, Michael and Lois!
