Baby Blessing Nov. 16 on Redington Beach, FL

What a wonderful experience to be a part of welcoming Cole into the world and the arms of his loving family.  It was a lovely day on Redington Beach here in Southwest Florida.  Cole was so sweet, and I can see why his family is just "nuts" about him!

Nellie's Deli Tasting & Show

We all had fun on Thursday evening when Nellie's Deli and Catering hosted a bridal tasting and mini-bridal show for bridal couples who have booked Nellie's to cater their wedding.  Tammy Young and Nina Lakatos were our hostesses while owners Fredda and Craig Pohl created the lucious dishes for tasting.

Below you can see that Rich and I had an opportunity to speak with every couple about creating a ceremony espeically for them.  We always offer a personalized ceremony with ideas to make it heartfelt, memorable and fun.

Valentine's Day Beach Wedding

What a wonderful Valentine's Day!  I officiated at a Destination Wedding at the Longboat Key Hilton.  Rich came along and took some pictures that I'm sharing with you.  As you can see, the sun was shining and we had a great time together.  Congratulations, Mary & Roger!  May every Valentine's Day include a special celebration of your love.

DeSoto National Memorial Wedding

I had the pleasure of performing a ceremony at the DeSoto National Memorial in Bradenton yesterday.  It is located at the northern terminus of 75th Street North West and can be reached from I-75 or I-275.  It has ample parking and a beautiful promenade on the Manatee River, a Visitor's Center and a gorgeous wooded setting for photographs.  Be sure to contact Jorge Acevedo (941) 792-0458 Ext 106 to obtain a permit, and be ready for a wonderful outdoor wedding experience. www.nps.gov/desoto/index.html
