Stephen and Elizabeth picked the VFW Hall in Stow for their wedding. This new hall is quite impressive, not only for military memorabilia but the event area is quite lovely. Elizabeth had it decorated beautifully with a fall theme.

Since this couple lives in Virginia, we were not able to have a rehearsal. I usually require one when the wedding party is more than four people. They had nine. So, I got there early and we had a quick run through before the wedding so that everyone could relax knowing that what they needed to do. And the wedding went off without a hitch. Even the two sweet flower girls came down the aisle and dropped the petals as they were told. The ring bearer, however, practically, ran down to his mother which was just adorable.

Stephen was just a bit nervous but looking quite dapper in his tuxedo. Elizabeth, looking in a lovely full length gown, was really nervous because they had decided to add a personal message to each after reciting my vows. They both did an excellent and heart-rendering job with Elizabeth taking deep breaths to get through it. They were both so sweet and sincere.

Wishing them much love and happiness in their new life together.
