Shel spent many countless hours running retail store and planning our Sept 1998 wedding. We weren't known for doing things like everybody else and why should this be different? Up to this point our focus was entertaining others and making life easier so we decided to be creative in our wedding plans also. We chose a beautiful outdoor rose garden and started planning. There had to be alternative arrangements made for weather and seating for guests. We had been to many weddings and observed what worked and what didn't. We decided to provide catered hors d'oeuvres for guests outside under a canopy while we took pictures plus a huge reception later in the day. I remember this day vividly! The weather was a little hot but the atmosphere and guests made our day! Shel and I had been living a fairy tale relationship and now she was going to become my queen! I had witnessed first hand the huge difference she had made in others and absolutely cherished her! Life was good! Everything went as planned and compliments were fluent! We went out of our way to create a enjoyable experience for everyone with music, dancing, food, story boards and more. That year we relocated the store increasing square footage, doubled our staff and got married. The next morning we headed to our much needed honey moon vacation destination Hawaii!
