Chrissy & Ed were married on April 18th, 2009 in the Butterfly Garden at beautiful Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, Florida. Chrissy and Ed had chosen an early afternoon ceremony with colors of Victorian Lilac and Apple Green. The minister was able to involve both of their cultural backgrouns into the ceremony. Chrissy has Irish culture in her family , so we added the Oathing Stone for during the vows. Ed included the traditional Jumping of the Broom for his family’s cultural background. The reception was held at the New Marriott in Pinellas Park which had been recently renovated from a Radisson Hotel. The guests enjoyed cocktails in the foyer of the ballroom waiting for the Bride & Groom to arrive. The centerpieces for the reception were cylinders of floating candles with a submerged stem of green orchids in the center cylinder below the candle. The  chairs were decorated with a green bow and accents of lilac petals and diamond crystals scattered on the tables. After a dinner buffet , the candy bar was open for the guests to enjoy some sweet treats while they danced the evening away.
