Their 15th Year Anniversary!!!

Hi!

I had the distinct pleasure of hosting a surprise 15th Anniversary!!

 Alex, the groom, called me earlier in the week and asked if he could surprise his bride of 15 years with an impromptu visit?!

Of course the answer was yes. I was trilled and excited that he had called. 

What a wonderful surprise for Jamie!!!

I brought out the Champagne and Chocolate Dipped Strawberries and my husband and I toasted the happy couple!!

We had such an enjoyable visit. They have three childres, two which are twins!! Just like me! Who knew??

This special meeting brought tears to me and Jamie!! We talked about her wedding day and she was so surprised that I remembered!  

What a wonderful surprise!! Thank you allowing me to be part of your celebration.

Congratulations, Alex and Jamie  on 15 years of marriage!!

 May you have many, many more and may you come back and we'll help you celebrate again!!

Love,

Wedding Stylist/Coordinator and Wedding Officiant!

Hi!

I thought I'd start this new month's posting on a personal note...

I had the distinct honor and pleasure of being the Officiant for my cousins Jinelle and Jeremy's Wedding in Rye, New York. (I now have a license from the State of New York!)  It had rained the day before and we woke up on Saturday to beautiful sunny day, crisp and gorgeous! The wedding took place on the grassy area of the Shenorock Shore Club with the spectacular backdrop of the Long Island Sound just foot steps away. 

To say I was nervous was a complete understatement. I'm used to being behind the scenes orchestrating the wedding not in front officiating.  My sister, Sue, flew out  along with my Mother for the wedding. Sue was the impromptu coordinator making me look good!

Jinelle, Jeremy and I wrote the ceremony creating a wonderful mix of humor, heart felt love, blessings and promises.

I took a page out of my favorite Pastor Mark Manning's book by saying;

"Jeremy you have kissed Jinelle before but never as your wife! You may now kiss your Bride!'

It was a truly magical experience.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my special privilege to introduce to you for the first time...

Mr. and Mrs. Jeremy and Jinelle Stent!"

That was on October 20, 2012. 

When one hears about a hurricane on the other side of the country, at times we feel removed, sad but not really effected. 

Hurricane Sandy's wrath included this lovely shore club

. 

The nation has shrunk and now it's really personal.  

My prayers and thoughts go out to all the family, friends and people of the communities affected by this terrible disaster. 

And  special prayers and  blessings to all the wonderful people that made October 20th Wedding so incredibly spectacular at the Shenorock Shore Club including  Mr. Richard LaCoursiere, the club's general manager and my cousin. 

Lots of Love,

Michelle Gregory
