Guest Book Our guest book was not a typical one. We used a slice of an ash tree (including the bark) salvaged from Carrie's father's lot. The top was sanded and guests signed their names to it. Later, Carrie's father varnished it and turned into a beautiful coffee table. |

Ceremony The ceremony was at Ridley Creek State Park in Media, Pennsylvania It was a warm, sunny morning with a few white puffy clouds floating in the sky. Before you was an old english garden with a reflecting pond. Then, up the stairs to the wedding site. At the end of the ceremony, we released doves to symbolize love & peace. |

Wedding Party The wedding party consisted of two maids of honor, two best men, 2 bridesmaids, 2 ushers and 2 junior ushers. Maid of Honors: Shana (Carrie's sister) & Candy (Darrell's sister) Best Men: Alex (friend from Drexel) & Adrian (friend from Drexel) Bridesmaids: Jackie and Tasha (Darrell's sisters) Ushers: Steve and Gregg (family friends) Junior Ushers: Joe and Joshua (Darrell's brothers) |

Reception The reception was at Doubletreee Guest Suites in Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. Doubletree had a lovely naturally lit atrium surrounded with trees that we felt was a great transition from the great outdoors. The reception was a great time to dance, sing and catch up with friends and family we had not seen in awhile. And then, dance some more. Of course, we let the guests eat cake too. |

Honeymoon We traveled with Carnival Cruise Lines through the Inside Passage of Alaska. The seven day cruise started in Vancouver, British Columbia and ended in Anchorage, Alaska. Between the wildlife, the ocean, the peace, the glaciers and the wonderful people at Carnival, this was an incredible trip. |

Thank you to everyone that made our day special!
