The beginning of something wonderful......




It was an honor for Rev. David Bishop to officiate as Carrie and Marc shared their love and exchanged their vows in front of their family and friends at the Butterfly Garden area of the Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg. The religious ceremony gave testimony to God's love that the couple share. The colors of the bridesmaids gowns and the flowers were magnificent! The couple and their children participated in a family blended sand ceremony ritual, and Carrie shared a very special vow with the children. Fiddle music filled the air for the wedding party, and the bride's entrance, and music from the Lion King was played during the blended sand ceremony. It was so beautiful! Congratulations Carrie and Marc! May you be blessed with a long, healthy, and happy life.

Nature Inspired Wedding in an Oak Pavillion

It was an honor for me to officiate the wedding of Katie andTony! !  Katie and Tony celebrated their special moment strolling over the walkway to exchange their vows under a canopy of shade trees in the Oak Pavilion at the Sunken Gardens. The beauty and tranquility of this timeless sanctuary added to the  romance of their special day.

The Sunken Gardens is a botanical paradise in the midst of a bustling city. As St. Petersburg's oldest living museum, this 100 year old garden is home to some of the oldest tropical plants in the region.
Wedding guests had the opportunity to unwind as they strolled through meandering paths, lush with exotic plants from around the world. They explored cascading waterfalls, beautiful demonstration gardens, more than 50,000 tropical plants and flowers.

  Katie and Tony specifically chose this location because of their love of nature and gardens, and as Katie told me, it is a reminder of the beautiful gardens and nature God has provided for us to enjoy.

Katie and Tony shared very beautiful vows with each other, and also shared a vow with Tony's daughter Brooke.

Music for the ceremony was provided by Eddie Lugo, and the beautiful flowers were designed by
Debbie of The Bridess Bouquet.

Congratulations Tony and Katie, may you be blessed with a very long and happy marriage!!

Amanda & John at Safety Harbor







Congratulations Amanda and John!!! What a fabulous location Safety Harbor Spa & Resort was for your wedding and lovely reception! http://www.safetyharborresort.com/ Michelle Martin and the staff at the resort were so efficient and provided excellent service to Amanda and John as they celebrated their wedding. The wedding ceremony was held outside overlooking the water, and the reception was inside with gorgeous flower arrangements by Mary Conte of Buds Blooms & Beyond of Tampa http://www:budsbloomsandbeyond.com and music provided by http://www.granthemond.com/ John and Amanda actually met through a MySpace page and once they met in person, they just knew they had found their soulmate. Their ceremony involved giving roses to the mothers. When they customized their ceremony, they chose to use Sea Glass and a Sand Dollar Ritual to unite their families and friends. John and Amanda shared some very beautiful words with each other prior to stating their vows and it was a very moving experience. We wish a very beautiful couple all our best!!!
