Since my Dad was in the Navy, military weddings have a special place in my heart. Joy & Ken’s was even more so because over the time I’ve gotten to know Joy, I’ve realized she is absolutely the nicest person I have ever met! I’m SO HAPPY for these two…

Their wedding was held under the old Live Oak on the Grand Lawn at Alhambra Hall, overlooking Charleston Bay. It’s one of my favorite venues in Charleston! Joy was truly STUNNING in her fairytale wedding gown. Ken in his Dress Whites had the proverbial “dashing” good looks I expected…knowing Joy’s impeccable taste! 🙂 The climate was a beautiful, breezy, sunshiny day. All the gorgeous floral arrangements were provided by The Blooming Village. The Coast Guard Chaplain who performed the ceremony was both humerous and poignent in his no-nonsense, yet eloquent, homily. Eric Scalise of Complete Music provided the euphony for the service, and later, did a FANTASTIC job leading an exciting reception.

I thought it was fitting that Joy & Ken exchanged their vows the day after Valentine’s day. The support from their family was unending. The admiration from their friends was unwavering. And their love for each other IS unconditional. CONGRATULATIONS you guys!!!
