Anime inspired wedding Stacia and Gabriel@Sunken Gardens
When Stacia and Gabriel phoned me to officiate their wedding at the Sunken Gardens, they expressed their desire to have an Anime influenced ceremony and reception. To my surprise, I had not heard of Anime before, so I was excited at the prospect of venturing into new territory and work with them to create the ceremony of their dreams.Stacia and Gabriel are fans of Anime and had actually met while looking at Japanese animated items in a bookstore. WOW! Talk about finding your soulmate.
If you, like me, are not clear about what that is, I will give you a short explanation. Anime is the Japanese abbreviation and pronunciation of "Animation" - animated cartoons. Anime is an art form, with influences of Japanese calligraphy and Japanese paintings that characterize the linear qualities of the anime style.
Many of the characters feature larger eyes, with coloring added to the eyes for depth. There are many shows which are influenced by Anime and it has dramatically exposed more Westerners to the culture of Japan. It is reported recently that the number of people studying the Japanese culture and language has increased dramatically.

Destination Weddings & Elopements in Florida or Maine
How I love elopements! There is such an element of excitement and surprise! Recently, I officiated at the wedding of Steven and Hui, such a beautiful couple. They were married on the beach in front of the Tradewinds Hotel. Hui was so beautiful with her short white dress, and gorgeous rose bouquet. Steve was the best looking groom! We so enjoyed sharing their special time with them. They came to Florida from Ruston, LA. They were here for a conference and decided to tie the knot. We had a pleasant time with them, and I wanted to share the happy couple's pictures with you. Congratulations Steve and Hui!!!! Come back and see us soon!
