Recent Nashville Weddings

I've thought before that I should use this blog as a sort of "diary" for weddings I'm involved. Maybe I'll get it with it and do it more, and who knows there could be a book out of this some day.

A few things that happened recently in weddings made me come back to this idea of blogging the weddings.

The Singing Ring Bearer and Flower Girl


At a wedding at Sprng Haven Mansion in Hendersonville, I believe I witnessed the cutest ring bearer and flower girl I've ever seen, and also have a great idea for you to help get your little ones down the aisle. How many times have I seen the ring beater and or flower girl not make it! In this case the two were coming down together holding hands and the director the wedding told them to sing a song as they went down.

The song was "step to-gether, step to-gether." I couldn't make out what they were "singing" until they got about half way down, but you could tell from the git go that they were really having fun. So give your flower girl and ring bearer a song to sing!

"What Not to Wear" Pretend Nashville Wedding

The TLC show What Not to Wear did a pretend wedding at the Hermitage Hotel in Nashville to surprise a local florist with a make-over. I was called and asked to play the part of the minister, since the florist knew me, and it would help to pull off the ruse successfully.

When the show finally came on, I forgot to watch it. Fortunately, there is YouTube, and below is the first part of the show.

I only hoped they didn't make me look stupid. Considering the small part for me in it, I lucked out. Watch and enjoy.

You can get married just about anywhere. Any place that is has special meaning to you could be the perfect wedding choice for you. So it was for Kristy and Jeremy who married at Maxximo Jo's Coffee Shop in Frankin, TN. The couple live and work in Franklin, and this is a favorite hang out for them. It was simple wedding, nicely decorated and special treats from Maxximo Jo's after the ceremony. See photo below.

Another Spectacular Outdoor Cathedral Wedding at Historic Cedarwood

I officiated what I believe was my third wedding ceremony at Historic Cedarwood with the outdoor cathedral - what I might call less elegantly "church out in the yard". You can see some photos below. It is very nice and is becoming a popular option at this Nashville wedding venue.

It was a beautiful evening for the wedding. While it had cooled off, the wind hand died down and it was very pleasant out.

This couple did do something in their ceremony which I had not seen before.
