A wonderful wedding memory!...Kelly & Sammy!

Taking a few minutes today to reminisce on the magical wedding of Kelly & Sammy.  Great memories are made of times like this.  We're also so very excited about the baptism of Colt at the chapel, which continues our wonderful connection and life event sharing!  Kelly is working on a special project (s) for the chapel, which is made all the MORE special, since she's one of our very magical brides.  We are so honored by strong couples like Kelly & Sammy staying in our circle...and it just so beautifully enhances the flavor of life around here!  
 
Speaking of adding to flavor....Angie has been helping us this week with baby Harper by her side, and we're getting a lot of stuff done!  Currently in preparation for Coop & Mandy's magical adventure (we can't wait!) but there's lots of stuff on 'Angie's List' (couldn't resist!) that will help us tremendously.  The rain is apparently gone for a little while, and now if we can just get past the 2-hour threat (at GAMEtime no less) for the wedding, we'll be golden...  Today is fun activities that keep the place looking its best for the big day.  Angie finished making cookies for Denise's office yesterday, and the entire chapel smelled like sugar, lavender and lemon! Woohoo!  Many thanks to Mary Frank for her excellent, hand-crafted lavender cookbook for Christmas...and the cookies turned out to be divine.  Thank goodness Angie was baking them, or the Cap would have probably not had such a great result.  Looking forward to a special couple visit coming up in a few days and a GREAT pair of church services on Sunday.  Also have a few couples coming to visit the chapel for a potential booking...so blessings abound!  
 
Planting seeds every day in the garden....literally....but also attempting to plant seeds in life around us that will grow.  We believe He gives us the seeds, and asks us to share.  Planting, nurturing and enjoying the abundance we're given...  What a fun task to be gardeners in the vineyard!  Blessings to all for days that literally sprout goodness and love!  Peace Out!

Ok...this was for a baby shower, but we're thinking it's kind of a cool departing prize for a wedding as well. Diggin' the citrus theme of this event to this day, and what an unusual idea for a gift!

Wedding homecoming is one of our favorite nights of the year. Brides and grooms get to meet, greet and have fun together. Such a blessing to bring so many special folks into the same room! Neat!

Absolutely love this photo of an angel who's no longer with us. Susan made every visit special with her sparkling smile and kindness. We miss her, and know she's enjoying a heavenly tea party now!

Bright and beautiful! The Bride's Courtyard is one of our favorite places at the chapel. How many thousands of photographs of these fun, funky, retro beauties have been taken at weddings? Magic!

Well, if you're doing charity at the chapel, you've got to look halfway decent, right??!? Lots of work to make this happen right here, but we're excited about the Murder on the Orient Express event!

This is my annual lecture/wonderment about zinnias. They are our absolute favorite flower, and so few weddings include the sturdy little characters. Taylor and Daniel got the memo, however! Love!

A tremendous event starts with a magical invitation. Who would have thought of using a 'citrus' theme with color neutrality for a non-gender reveal baby shower?! Brilliant, and it set the tone!

Happiness Factor is over.the.top with the wonderful union of Annabelle and John on Saturday! Everything was perfect, and when does a couple get an 86 degree wedding on July 27?!?!? That was great!

Creativity and fun were the hallmarks of chapel activities this last weekend! Laura threw a great baby shower for Karley, and the whole "Little Cutie" theme was tremendous from the invitation on!

Every bride at the Chapel at CaliberOak is beautiful! Even those that need extra help in the beauty department, such as Miss ShelbyMae, here. The crown is all of it! Every bride is a princess here!
