Candice and Joe's wedding was at
Hilton RTP on the patio in the courtyard on Sunday October 11, 2009. It was a beautiful day for a wedding and the bride and groom decided to see each other before the wedding to take their photos. A wedding photograph by Neil Boyd is hanging inside the entrance to the hotel and Candice and Joe liked it so much they wanted to have the same photo of their wedding party done. So they asked their photographer, Kitty, of
MPK Photography. to arrange them in similar poses. This picture was taken by my "roadie" Marty with my point and shoot digital camera. Cool! Kitty already has some photos of this wedding on her blog so check it out. Kitty reminded me that we worked together last year at a wedding at Rose Hill Plantation.
Their ceremony began by the entrance of the two grandmothers then the mothers of the bride and groom, Marie and Suzie. The father of the groom, Andy, was his son's best man and the father of the bride, Ray, escorted in our lovely bride. Then Joe, Andy, the other groomsmen and I entered and took our places. The music changed and the beautiful bridesmaids entered one by one. Enter our ring bearer, Logan, and flower girl,
Branson. They actually made it down the aisle which is pretty darn great for a couple of two-year
olds!
Here comes the bride and her proud father, Ray. They floated down the aisle to the sweet music of "Ava Maria." Candice's pretty pink bouquet and all the floral arrangements were by
The English Garden. 
Candice and Joe and I stood framed by a lovely gazebo with hanging lanterns. The color scheme as reflected by the lanterns, the girls'
dresses and bouquets, the fantastic programs, and the wedding cake was brown and pink. We began with a
welcome and a prayer. Candice's two sisters, Jennifer and Courtney, gave readings. Candice and Joe also had a sand ceremony with pink and white sand
poured together in a terrific vase she got at Target that had the sand in layers in the bottom then a candle is suspended within the top of the vase. It was very unique. Sorry that I don't have a photo of it.
Here is the pronouncement of marriage.
Introducing the new Mr. and Mrs.!
And out they go to celebrate their marriage! Candice and Joe, it was a pleasure working with you and I wish you all the happiness in the world!
The guests were invited for cocktails on the large front porch of the hotel. From there they went to the reception in the Dogwood Room where the color scheme of brown and pink was reflected. There is a dance floor and their DJ was just setting up when this photo was taken before the wedding. Patrick Cooke of
PC Productions was the DJ. I have worked with him many times.
Music for the ceremony was provided by Patrice
Kaluza on keyboard and Dan Cunningham on guitar. A very talented duo from
Sea Sound Studios. They brought their sound system so I just plugged my microphone into their system which made it so much easier for me to set up. Thanks, Patrice and Dan, for all your help and for the wonderful music. Patrice and I have known each other from networking luncheons for several years and this was the first time we got to work a wedding together!
This beautiful cake is by
Swank's Cake Design. They make fabulous wedding cakes. Notice the theme of brown and pink reflected in the cherry blossom motif.
