Hi Newbie, Congratulations on your pending nuptials. I was married at the GPLH in June 2011 and my ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Before I get into the details of the ceremony I will say that the Wedding Department took quite a long time to respond to my questions as well but eventually I did receive a response. What made me nervous was upon my arrival I assumed there would be a note or some instruction as to what I needed to do to prepare for the day but there was nothing. I arrived on a Wednesday and my ceremony was set to take place on that Saturday. Thursday I went looking for my wedding planner to find out the particulars of my day. She showed me my selected location as well as a back up location should it rain. I settled my bill and felt a bit more at ease. I was informed that all of my guests would be picked up and taken to the ceremony site and that I would receive a similar pick-up as well. The problem is my guest were picked up but I wasn't. Five minutes to show time I found myself making a bee-line to the beach with my escort helping me keep my dress from dragging on the ground. When I arrived (hot and sweaty) I was just ready to get started. My wedding planner was waiting for me and gave me the signal to walk. My music was playing as my mother and uncle proceeded to walk me down the aisle. Thankfully the ceremony was quick because it was hot. LOL! We had a champagne toast after the ceremony; our photographer took some beautiful pictures and the videographer did a great job with our video. Here are a couple of photos: Good luck and again Congratulations! Sherri
