Destination -- Florida!

September started off so nicely with a trip to Orlando, Florida, for my husband to officiate at the wedding of Caitlin Metzger & Ryan Lavrusky.  We've know Caitlin for about 18 years and were honored to be included in the wedding in this way.  We were so excited, too!!!  Despite the rain that moved the ceremony inside the building, it was a beautiful wedding for this young couple.

About 85 friends and family gathered at "The Pines of Windermere" to share in this celebration with Caitlin & Ryan. Not a dry eye in the place as we remembered Caitlin's mom, Lori, and knew that she was with Caitlin in her heart and through all the laughter that was shared that day.  Lori would be so proud of her daughter and the lovely woman she is becoming!

Caitlin's aunts Michelle & Annette were making sure everything went as planned and the wedding coordinator in me was ready to help with whatever was needed that day.

They were able to take a few pictures outside between the raindrops!

Who gives this woman to be married to this man?!

Prayer over Caitlin & Ryan as they share in this new life together!

Water ceremony -- water from where they each grew up, 

combined now to use for their children's baptisms.

You may kiss your bride!!

First dance as husband and wife!

After the wedding festivities one day and a pool party the next day at Caitlin & Ryan's apartment complex, our family was able to enjoy extra time in Florida and went to WDW's Magic Kingdom and SeaWorld!

Caitlin & Ryan -- we wish you many, many happy years together!  

Thank you,
