Renae and Brian Real Wedding @Sirata Beach Resort
Renae and Brian were junior high school sweethearts and they tied the knot this weekend! It was truly my honor to work with them. It was wonderful to see such a long lasting love. The sparkle in their eyes and the love that radiated from them was incredible! Their wedding took place on the beach at the Sirata Beach Resort, with close friends and family present. 
The bride looked magnificent in her gown, and the groom work his Army dress uniform. The bridesmaids wore flowing peach long dresses and the groomsmen wore long shirts with peach ties to match.

At the time of pronouncement, the groom immediately texted his "change of Status" on facebook from Single to Married!!! After the ceremony, group photos were taken in the courtyard and the guests enjoyed a fabulous reception with an Italian Buffet style meal. The menu included Italian Lasagna, Sausage and peppers, Chicken Marsala, seasonal vegetables, tossed 
salads and garlic bread! Melanie, the wedding coordinator and the staff of the Sirata always provide outstanding service and it is a pleasure to work with them. The couple cut their cake, and shared two desserts, Wedding Raspberry Elegance and a Kiss of Chocolate Bliss. Also, they provided a great candy bar buffet for their guests. Yummy! Ceremony music and reception music was provided by The Pro's. The officiant was Rev. Virginia Bishop of LovingUnity.com 
Congratulations Brian and Renae!!!

Sandpearl Resort - Congratulations Kim & Craig Battinelli!
The Sand Pearl http://www.sandpearl.com/ was the venue of the beautiful wedding of Kimberly & Craig! The weather was fabulous and the ceremony was held on the lawn. Guests were able to see the beautiful flowers created by http://www.thebridesb.com/ . A Dove Release by Florida's largest white bird release company, Don Creamans of http://www.donslovedoves/, took place while Kim and Craig sealed their love with a kiss. In addition to the two white doves in white floral decorated cages on each side of the wedding party, there was a release of a group of white doves above the heads of the couple and their guests. It was quite a stunning moment! Special thanks to Sidney Fox from the Sand Pearl for her work with Kim and Craig. It was a magnificent event!

What is an Interfaith Officiant?
I am sure you are interested in what exactly an Interfaith Officiant is. As an Interfaith Officiant I am a trained professional who has studied and been ordained through the All Faiths Seminary of New York City, one of a growing number of Interfaith Seminaries around the world. Interfaith ministers serve as guides to help people deepen and nourish their own religious roots while they are opening their hearts to the wisdom and beauty of other traditions and teachings. Regardless of my own spiritual tradition or path, I am a trained professional who is dedicated to serving the spiritual needs of ALL those who seek guidance, and assistance regardless of their race, creed, ethnic background, sexual orientation, gender or age.
I have chosen to learn about, respect, and appreciate the diversity of paths to the Divine and to look for the universal truth in each of them. I seek to promote understanding, harmony and love among all people by emphasizing what is universal in the teachings of the many spiritual paths and faith traditions.
I am committed to the ongoing deepening of my own spiritual faith practice and connection to the Divine, so that m service to others is always grounded in the integrity of my own spiritual life.
My role as an interfaith minister is to help you in creating a ceremony that is respectful of your own religious beliefs and traditions and in fulfilling your wishes for a very beautiful and meaningful ceremony.
