My youngest daughter, Rachel just got married in North Carolina with a wedding planner that had an aproach quite similar to yours.

And of course we had the proud parents.

Woops, we are Texans after all.
She kept the costs down and gave us a fabulous ceremony. We were supposed to be on a mountain (plan A) but a snowstorm closed the road. Then we had an alternative mountaintop (plan B) that we could drive to but it rained hard on the wedding day. Then we tried for a bed and breakfast in the historic district of Ashville (plan C) but it could not be booked on such short notice. We finally got lucky (plan D) and our daughter still had her outdoor wedding and was married outside under a porte-cochere of a historic building surrounded by trees and her friends and family. She is so resilient she never complained once as we scrambled in the face of adversity. The wedding planner was an absolute gem. You have a very important job Hive account@erinparis and your photos show you do it well. Welcome to Steem!
