Lauren and Brandon were married this past Saturday. The weather had to be the best we have had all summer. The couple's outdoor ceremony was at the Nassau Valley Vineyards in Lewes, Delaware.

The groom got ready at the Brick Hotel on the Circle in Georgetown, Delaware. He and his family and groomsmen took advantage of the beautiful "circle" across the street and had their photography session there. The couple's dog "Tiger" showed up in his tuxedo and also participated in the family portraits.                                          

The ceremony in Nassau Valley's Bacchus Grove was beautiful. There was an element in the service we had never seen before.  (This is after 650 weddings since 1990!) The couple had written love letters to each other. These letters were sealed and locked in a wooden box with a bottle of wine. The minister explained that the box was to be opened if there was extreme difficulty or a threatening issue to the marriage. They could read the love letters and drink the wine, and hopefully they would resolve the problem. If they reached their 25th wedding anniversary and haven't needed to open the box, then they should open the box, enjoy the wine and read the letters anyway.

Toasts were given prior to the sumptuous sit-down dinner outside in the courtyard–very European atmosphere. Nage of Rehoboth provided the catering. There was also a wine-tasting during the cocktail hour (perfect for a wine vineyard).

The reception was held inside in the ballroom. The room had been decorated like a sophisticated nightclub, with occasional chairs, love seats, and coffee tables. The lighting and draping were beautiful. The bride and groom's choreographed first dance was one of the best we had ever seen. The New York Edge band was absolutely outstanding!!!
