Outdoor Family Wedding in North Carolina

Like many couples today, Katie and Michael were planning their wedding when they realized everything was �snowballing�. (Wedding planning can get out of control very easily). Katie and Michael decided that it would be in their best interests to save their money and have a small family wedding. And here�s the best part� they decided to have their wedding at our retreat center�

Here comes the bride...
Just look at Michael�s face.

Katie�s mother escorted her and offered blessings on behalf of her family. It was a touching moment when she lifted the veil. It was time!

I can't help it... I'm a romantic and just have to include a photo of the kiss.

Married!

And Katie, the 'stress-free' bride

After some family photos, we headed inside to celebrate..

Michael's father made a wonderful toast!

And .....I received this in an email today..

'Our wedding day was perfect!!

We couldn't be happier with how well everything went.'

Life is Good!
