The Wedding of Warren and Jess~♥

You are invited to sit back with a glass of champagne and join me in.......a fairytale of America meets Africa.......

The setting.....Evergreen in the countryside of my beautiful city, Port Elizabeth.....

The date....30 September 2011 @ 3.00pm......


8 weeks of planning
9 hours of the beginning of a lifetime of  memories of two beautiful people.....


Thank you Warren and  Jess together with Lyndsay and Greg for allowing me to share in the planning of your wedding!  ~♥


The setting~
 8 weeks of planning~    Lyndsay and Jess, you were stars ~♥~♥


Mock table on Solomon..... 




The table names were of significant milestones in their journey together.....






The preparation~  28 ~ 30 September 2011!











The day before......... in my bath keeping cool!!
Corsages, buttonholes, posies, confetti buckets....








Boxed and ready to be delivered to 46 Healy....... 






And the bridal teardrop......






Setting up the venue.....

understated elegance....so serene...


























The team and a huge thank you to Greg and Kitty too!!





    A big "high 5" !  With the mother of the groom and my partner.....

                                  
The ceremony......











Awaiting the special moment..........

Quiet contemplation........



















"What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate." .....

The union of an African and American family............





Finally, in their words....

Once in a while...right in the middle of an ordinary lifetime,
Love gives us a fairytale.....Anonymous.....

For Jess......Roll Tide...:)


                     

It's been a fairytale for me...thank you!
I serve a great God!

  8. Hello Shel,
    I am back to leave a comment about the wedding. I couldn't leave a comment the day you linked up for my tea party so I left one on my blog at the time along with some others whose blogs I also couldn't leave a comment on.

    The flowers, the bride, the tables, everything is gorgeous! You did a fabulous job and I'm sure the bride and groom were very pleased. Thank you for sharing it with Tea Time, even tho I'm a bit late commenting. Have a lovely week.

    Blessings,
    Sandi
