Real Wedding Libbie and Israel @Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater
Libbie and Israel had a spiritual wedding ceremony and shared their vows as the sun was setting at the Sandpearl Resort in Clearwater this evening. They joined together by saying vows to each other and also to Jonathan, Israel's 3 year old son.
The wedding theme was simple elegance, with the colors white/black and maroon. The beautiful bride entered with her dad to Pachelbel's Canon in D Minor, carrying a lovely silk maroon flower bouquet. Libbie and Israel shared blended sand, symbolizing that their lives are now joined together, thus, no longer able to be separated. A beautiful poem entitled The Best Is Yet to Be was read by the brides good friend. The love that they shared was so evident by the look in their eyes. Jonathan looked on with such pleasure and adoration for the beautiful bride.
After the nuptials, the couple were greeted by the staff of the Sandpearl and shared a champagne toast and congratulations from their guests. Then on to the COVE room for their reception. The room was decorated with the colors the bride had chosen, and the cake reflected the same. Each person received an individual gift bag that was special for them. I noticed one of the gift bags had a cute Teddy Bear Pez Dispenser..........wonder who was the lucky winner of that???
Congratulations Libbie, Israel and Jonathan.....may you have a lifetime of happiness and prosperity! Thank you for choosing me to officiate your wedding ceremony.

Obtaining a Marriage License in Florida
Here's a bit of information about securing a Marriage License in Florida Most of you may know this already, so it is a refresher. ALL of the Florida Resident couples that utilize the services of LovingUnity receive the Marriage Preparation Course which will enable them to receive a discount of $32.50 off the cost of the marriage license. Not only is the discount great, but it gives couples time - 4 hours in fact - to spend time going over important details of the important matters in a relationship. The course covers raising children or not, financial dealings, managing family and step family issues, general communication, religious views and practices,resolving conflicts, and the expectations of the couple in marriage.
Here's what you need to know about getting a Marriage License in Florida:
- You do not have to be a resident of Florida. The 3 day waiting period is waived for those who reside outside of Florida. Both Bride and Groom must present proof of residency from another state, such as your drivers license.
- Picture ID, and your Social Security Card or a valid passport number or I-94 card. You may be asked for a certified copy of your birth certificate.
- Regarding previous marriages, the date of your divorce, or date of spouse's death must be supplied. A certified copy of the divorce decree or death certificate is required.
- Regarding the Waiting Period, there is no 3 day waiting period for those Florida couples who have taken the Marriage Prep Course within the last 12 months. There IS a 3 day waiting period for couples who have not taken the course.
- Fee: $93.50 Those couples who have completed the course are entitled to a discount - the fee would be $61.00.
- Under 18, if under 18 but older than 16, a marriage license can be obtained with parental consent. If a parent has sole custody or the other parent is deceased, the permission of one parent is sufficient. If a person is under age 16, the license must be issued by a county judge with or without parental permission.

You Tied the Knot!! Congratulations Kathleen & Steve
An intimate home setting was the location for the nuptuals of Kathleen & Steve. Their lovely home was filled with flowers.
The home was completely transformed into a lovely, intimate area for the ceremony, then arranged into a beautiful reception area. 
I was totally impressed with the creativity of Michelle DeMicco of Custom Creations and Events, at 813.234.3755 or view her site http://www.customcreationsandevents.com/ The planning that Steve and Kathleen put into their ceremony truly showed their love for their home, their children, and each other. 
They had written a beautiful ceremony with me, and their daughters provided readings. Grandson Landon was the ringbearer and was he ever proud!!! The wedding was exquisite and I wish them all the best for a future full of happiness and good health!
