Wedding for Ed and Patricia at Home!

Just one hour before this wedding on Friday evening, July 17th, the sky had opened up and the rain poured down! I was wondering what we would do if it did not stop. But...it cleared right up and Ed and Patricia's wedding proceeded as planned in the backyard of Ed's house in Brentwood. They had the chairs set up, lanterns to mark the altar area, and pavers for the three of us to stand on rather than sinking into the wet grass! Smart planning!

Patricia's parents, Roland and Dolly, drove in from Asheville bringing lovely magnolia blossoms. Ed arranged for two violinists to play for the wedding. Ed sings with the Master Chorale so he had an inside track on getting musicians! Roland proudly walked Patricia down the aisle. He was so funny taking bows as they processed in.

We had some moments of tears and some moments of laughter in this heart-warming ceremony.


The deed was done and Ed and Patricia were married!


Here is the happy couple with Ed's children, Stephen and Nicole. They were so delighted to have Patricia join their family.

Patricia and Ed, you are a great couple and I know you will be so happy together at last!
