As the sun kissed the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia on the evening of June 12, 2004 the little redheaded girl from Salem pledged her eternal love to the handsome dark-haired guy from Miami, Florida. Witnessing the event were a host of friends, family and attendants from across America and as far away as Norway. Not a dry eye was seen in the little chapel in the dell as the two star-crossed lovers said their vows.

The Bride was lovely in an original white satin wedding gown with a tulle overlay full skirt. A curved split-front hemline gracefully swept upward into a satin bodice embellished with tufted satin rosettes and seed pearls at the neckline and sleeves. Dainty gathered puffs of tulle set off the shoulders to elegantly frame the Bride's petite face glowing beneath her coordinated headpiece and full length bridal veil.
