I love Planting Fields Arboretum, so I was especially happy to go there for Cheryl’s and Noel’s intimate wedding ceremony. I arrived more than an hour early, which allowed for a very leisurely walk through the main greenhouse, and on the way out, I discovered the bookstore and bought a copy of O Pioneers! (I’ve been reading about the settling of the old West lately. Interesting.) Anyway! ... I had met with the couple beforehand to plan and become acquainted, and we had great chemistry. On the day of,  I met the some family members - all very nice, and Noel’s longtime friends who were there to support him - and give him a hard time (You can tell a lot about people from their friends, and these guys were true gentlemen.) Anyway! ... the couple was very happy with the day, as you can see for yourself.  “Cheryl and I would like to express our sincere thanks and profound appreciation for the wonderful job you did officiating our wedding on Saturday, July 31. Our special day was everything we hoped it could be, beautiful and intimate. Your marriage work sheet and subsequent meeting helped to make our day as joyful and orderly as it was. May God continue to bless you and your family with good health, and may you live long and continue the most important work he has ordained you to do.”
