Real Wedding @Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suites Wedding
This was a very special day for many couples, and we were honored to officiate the wedding of Leanne and Jeffery Green on the beach at the Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suites at Treasure Island, Florida.
Jeffery and his groomsmen managed the setup of the beautiful beach theme wedding. Leanne looked simply gorgeous as she arrived on her brothers arms, processing in to the steel drum music. The aisle was decorated with starfish and bell jars filled with beach sand, starfish and sand dollars.
The couple shared their personal vows, and joined their individual sand vials together, symbolizing the joining of their lives together. In Filipino tradition, the bride and groom exchanged the aras. These are the coins that flow from the groom to the bride and back to demonstrate his willingness to support his wife and family, and her willingness to be an equal partner in the marriage.
After the ceremony, the couple and their family enjoyed a reception in the venue cafe overlooking the tropical courtyard and waterfalls. We were so honored to be such an integral part of their day.

Reiki Infused Custom Wedding for Jaclyn and Greg
I was thrilled when I was contacted by Jaclyn who wnted to have a Reiki inspired wedding. Jaclyn is a Reiki practitioner, as I am, so it was fantastic to work with her to create this unique and beautiful ritual. The weather was not cooperative at the beginning of the ceremony, while we were staking out the four directions, and smudging the area for the couple. 
The clouds were dark and threatening, but Jaclyn and Greg were determined to be married at Crescent Beach in Maine. Gondiva brought the couple into the area with the blowing of the Conch shell to the four directions. Everyone donned their umbrellas, and the beautiful bride, and handsome groom arrived all smiles. After smudging the area, a group meditation and energy share took place, and an explanation of the elements was provided to the guests. As the couple exchanged the vows they had written for each other, the rain stopped, and a magnificent rainbow appeared. It was if it was on command! The rainbow yet again reminds us that even if there are storms in life, there are always rainbows that can follow. It was so beautiful and was a great backdrop for their wedding photos. After the wedding, the couple was gifted with a Conch Shell from Gondiva, and Greg was successful in being able to blow the shell after only a few attempts! Such a beautiful couple, such a unique ceremony, and I was so very honored to be asked to work with them and create the ceremony of their dreams. Congratulations Jaclyn and Greg, may you be blessed forever.

Victorian Wedding on Sand Key Beach
Congratulations Elizabeth and Andy! The wedding of Elizabeth Churchward and Andy Smith took place on Sand Key Beach just before sunset, officiated by Rev. Terri Hutchins of LovingUnity.com The bride entered to music intertwined with the breezes and the call of the gulls, providing the perfect background for the wedding and procession. Three barefoot flowergirls tiptoed through the sand in off white petticoats detailed with gold brocade. They each carried a basket of rose petals. Elizabeth's sons, Liam and Kayne followed and served as the ring bearers, wearing black tuxedos and serious faces as they carefully carried their golden cargo on white silk pillows.
The bride's dad escorted her through the sand. She was wearing a victorian style, off-white long dress, and presented her mother and soon to be mother in law with a small bouquet of flowers as she made her way toward the groom. Andy waited for his bride with a huge grin on his face, standing inside a giant heart shape in the sand. Andy looked dashing in a victorian suit.
Elizabeth and Andy shared vows they had written themselves, and it was touching that he not only vowed to love and cherish Elizabeth, but also to love and respect Kayne and Liam as his own. They exchanged rings and shared a kiss, and they were pronounced husband and wife just as the sun dipped into the gulf waters.
