Peter, Gretchen and friends in rose garden
May’s first wedding was for Peter and Gretchen who were joined by friends for a casual wedding at the Williams House.They chose do have the ceremony in the rose garden with Byron presiding and friends gathered around. It was a beautiful day with decent temperatures and a bright sunny sky. The reception was held in the courtyard beneath the large live oak where cake was served. It was a small and intimate event which seems to be a trend for weddings these days. Our best wishes to the bride and groom!

Our second wedding in May was last wekend for Bill and Marion. Family and friends joined from around the country to see them wed at the Williams House. It was again a great weather day, a little warm but sunny with a bit of breeze. Their wedding included a Harpist for the ceremony and a DJ at the reception with around 60 guests. Many of their guests enjoyed a few days with us before the wedding so we got to know many of the family members and wedding participants. Deborah provided the food which I can personally attest was very tasty. Pork tenderloin, crab cakes, fruit, rolls, deviled eggs…some of my favorites! A champagne toast and cutting of the cake were followed by garter tossing and some pretty wild dancing for all ages. It was a great time for family and friends to share in this special moment for Bill and Marion.

I just wanted to say what an amazing time we had while we were staying with you for Bill and Marion’s wedding. I’ve not even been home a week and I’m already wondering when I’ll get to come back again. The wedding and reception were magical. Thanks again for everything!
