Marita & Corey April 21, 2012 in St. Cloud Florida

Thunder and Alligators and Lightning oh my, . . .

Marita and Corey got married on April 21st 2012 in St. Cloud Florida

The forecast said; "rain, thunderstorms, lightning, wind, alligators, avoid going outside unless you want to get REAL wet."

Well, our weather karma came through. The clouds and storms only provided a dramatic backdrop to a small wonderful wedding; no rain, no alligators. It was a charming, beautiful event made even more special considering the fact that t was the celebration of Patrice and I's youngest daughter. The ceremony location was on at the end of a long skinny penninsula where fortunately there was a charming gazebo large enough to fit the entire attending crowd. A beautiful lake was the backdrop accented by the dramatic cloud artistry only a potential thunderstorm can provide. As we were leaving the site we were chased down the path by the approaching weather front as you can see from the inverted umbrella in one of the images.

The beautiful bouquets, corsages and boutineers were provided by Bella Floral Boutique in downtown St. Cloud. The Ice Cream Cakes were a nice treat! and the buffet was masterfully prepared and presented by our own Chef d'excellance; Corey Purser (who also happened to be the Groom!).

The ceremony was officiated by, . . . who was that guy, . . .? oh yeah!, . . . me. It was a first, and apparently went okay; Marita and Corey ended up married and smiling.

Yay! last daughter is married and happy, . . . what more can a proud dad ask
