Chantal and Brian


Chantal and Brian were married at the Ocean Club at Grande Dunes in Myrtle Beach, SC. It was a very unique wedding customized to the couple. Each of the bridal party members participated in the readings. Each reading was special in what it had to say. They included quotes from Denise Levertov, Blaise Pascal, and R.M.Rilke along with a Chinese proverb and an Apache wedding prayer. Brian's mother read The Key to Love. Another thing I loved about the ceremony was the explanation of the birds nest. A bird's nest is its home. It does not come pre-made. It is something that is built piece by piece, with lots of hard work, to have a place for a family. Brian and Chantal each wrote their vows and after the ring exchange were sent off in celebration! The reception was filled with dancing, singing, and lots of laughter. The toasts were fantastic. One of the groomsmen even wrote a song as a toast and had all of the guests involved in singing along with him! Just fabulous!!!! Congratulations to Chantal and Brian!
