Chapel Blog | Our weddings, events and news

Sometimes birthdays at the chapel are almost 2-dimensional!

 Think of the calories saved when the cake is merely printed on the napkin, rather than served...but JUST as beautiful!  These were the lovely birthday napkins Sheri brought for the impromptu party....and as usual... not a detail was missed.  Such a pretty graphic, and typical of her sense of style.  Had a fine birthday dinner of evil foods and yummy stuff!  Now to sleep for about 3 days!  
 
All is wonderful and well at the chapel, and we're praying for our friend, Jean, who's in Puerto Rico right now.  Looks like she'll fare well, and also looks like our booking at the condo in Grand Cayman is hopefully still a go, as Irma doesn't seem that interested in that particular island chain.  Cleaned up today from the birthday festivities, and still eating off all the food.  I cannot believe how many wonderful blessings and messages I've received today!  .........the lawn is TALL, and will be ready for Mara and Chance's big day.  Such a blessing to have a lovely, green courtyard for fall weddings, as it's been a few years since that's happened.  Roses are in bloom, zinnias still look great, and vineworks are climbing to the skies!  Surrounded by such bliss and abundance.  We truly are blessed and grateful!
 
He changes us slowly, usually.  It's little things, but they're all for the best.  When you wonder why something rather unusual or pointless has happened....don't forget....HE has the plan, and there was a reason for everything that happened to you today.  Don't forget it, and embrace it even more fully tomorrow!  Bon Nuit, y'all!

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!
