Mitch and Ziroca, who goes by Z, had a perfect morning for their wedding at Brandywine Falls. Although the Falls are closed to the public right now because of bridge reconstruction, the park rangers opened up the parking lot just for the wedding. Mitch and Z picked the Falls because they are avid hikers and the park was a natural choice for them.

They had a small group of family and friends attend to share their joy. If you haven’t been to Brandywine Falls, there is a long staircase going down right to the Falls. It is quite beautiful and quite loud. So, even though I spoke as loud as I could without yelling, it was still hard for some people to hear. But Mitch and Z are so much in love, all they really cared about was hearing each other.

They are both retired Air Force and we thank them for their incredible service. The ceremony included a Maid of Honor who Z met in the military. She read from Corinthians that added a special touch to the service.

There was one little glitch when a tourist came down and walked right over to the Falls during the ceremony. One of the family members asked her to leave and she became belligerent. I had to stop the ceremony until he got her to leave. Pretty unbelievable that someone could be so insensitive. But we did not let that ruin the ceremony. I continued and the couple were so very happy when I finally pronounced them husband and wife. Wishing much love and happiness to this very special couple.
