Chapel Blog | Our weddings, events and news

Completely loving yesterday's magazine photo-shoot!

 Julie is the professional photographer for the magazine, but I took this amateur shot!  Walked by the groom's room and Mandy and Coop's stuff for the shoot was there, and thought this said it all.  So very them, and reminded all over again how thankful we are that the two of them and Matt & Molly were married here.  We see them from time to time, and they're all 4 like part of the family now.  Their personalities are just right for this special place and they 'get' us and 'get' this chapel.  Thank you, God, for sending these 4 and so many hundreds of other wonderful brides and grooms to us so that we could make the biggest of their days special!
 
Well, after a great shoot like that what else could possibly be going on?!?!  Well, the boss' birthday is this weekend, so preparations are already underway for that and the 3 Kings 3 Miler 5k is this weekend, and yours truly is honored to be the MC for that event again this year.  Not to late to sign up....google it or hit me up for more intel.  We've got several friends and brides and grooms participating....so that'll be extra cool.  Pasta dinner for the runners/walkers on friday night and then the chilly fun on Saturday!  
 
Isn't it neat how He makes all the puzzle pieces fit?  All of our lives are interconnected, and when we let him put 'tab A into slot B', the picture at the end is clear and beautiful.  Thank you, Father, for your artistry and love.  Blessings for a great day, peeps!

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!
