I met Sarah and her mother almost one year ago. Sarah & Brad are not members here, so they had to wait until July 2008 to book their April 2009 wedding. Member can book 1 year in advance, Non-Members can book up to 9 months in advance. They waited ... and it all work out! {just trying to give hope to those non-members brides on the waiting list}

The ceremony was sweet. One of Brad's childhood friend's father {can you follow that?} officiated the ceremony, making it even sweeter for Brad and his family. A friend of Sarah's sang "How Beautiful" (by Twyla Paris) one of my favorite songs for a wedding!

Future Brides ... notice how we staggered and grouped the girls and guys. {see pictures below} This arrangement would work well for even larger wedding party groups too. It is a great alternative to lining up the wedding party or even pairing up the couples. Sometimes when we pair couples on the Heritage Stage it starts to look crowded and messy because the stage isn't all the big. I thought this worked well and would work great for larger groups too! I believe we have one coming up involving 12 BM and 12 GM! Oh and Sarah wanted her Maids of Honor and Best Man to join them on stage, while the rest of the wedding party stayed on the stairs.
