Congratulations Karisa and Dylan! The couple celebrated their nuptials in a gazebo by the shore of Lake Lure on Saturday.
The grounds of Rumbling Bald Resort provided a gorgeous background for their wedding, and there were plenty of fun activities for guests to enjoy over the weekend. Both were great fun to work with, and I wish them abundant health and happiness in their married life.
Kathryn and Tony were married at Kathryn’s beautiful childhood home in one of Durham’s affluent and refined old-growth neighborhoods.
They had a small wedding in the amazing back yard. Kathryn was a joyful and beautiful bride, and she and Tony brought a tear even to my professional eye as they stood before me expressing their deep love and respect for each other—even when they were not saying a word.
The reception area was lovely and elegant. Their florals were created by a family friend, and were absolutely breathtaking. I am so happy and grateful to have been part of their wedding day, and I wish them every good thing life has to offer on their journey together as husband and wife.

On Saturday, Courtney and Ian were married at the beautiful and luxurious Merrimon-Wynn House in downtown Raleigh. Their ceremony was warm and personal. It evoked some laughter and some tears. Courtney was radiant in an elegant dress with simple lines and plenty of style. Ian couldn’t take his eye off of her, and neither could anyone else. They were so happy to finally be experiencing this day that began the married life they have dreamed together.
I am very pleased that I was chosen to serve as their wedding officiant, and I wish them every happiness that life can offer.
Cheryl-Anne Kast of Kast Events & Company did the planning and coordination of a lovely wedding while observing COVID-19 rules. Everything was elegant and beautiful. Cheryl-Anne is always so well organized and prepared that she makes it look easy — and we know that isn’t always so!
The staff at the Merrimon-Wynn House did a wonderful job. Always available to serve and very mindful of COVID-19 rules so everyone would be well-cared-for and safe.
