The tables were pushed to the sides and after the ceremony were pulled back into the room and the chairs placed around them. 
The ceiling was filled with white lights and the chandeliers hung with sparkling cascades of beading.
The stone hearth was decorated with candles and beautiful white lilies. In the middle was a bench with the sand ceremony set up. Florals were by A Watered Garden.
The cake by Sugarland was ready!
Andrea Blanchfield, our harpist, was set up and warming up.
Great food!
They displayed photos of their loved ones who had passed on.
Behind the chairs was the stage and the band was being set up.
Our beautiful bride was escorted in by her son, Josh.
They made their way down the aisle to a beaming Jay!
We opened with a warm welcome to all and a prayer.
Stephanie took Josh's hand right before the children's blessing.
Telling Josh how loved and important he is!
Then it was time to tell their story of how they met, fell in love and decided to marry.
Jay's father, Jim, was his best man. Looks like he is enjoying the ceremony as well.
Then it was time for the vows and the rings..
Then the pouring of the sand.......
Before the pronouncement I asked the couple to look around at all their loved ones who had gathered in their honor.
The pronouncement......
Ha ha! Look at Josh covering his face for that "mushy stuff!" The KISS!
