I love the rolling countryside of the Southern Indiana hills as you approach. I love the iconic yellow brick beacon that appears like a mirage out of the countryside.

Kelsey and David had their priorities straight from the onset of their engagement – the ceremony was the focal point of their grand affair. It was lovely to witness this as their wedding planner! Kelsey was the third daughter to get married at Second Presbyterian Church, the iconic marble church located on Meridian Street.

Recently Huffington Post had a wedding blog titled “Why We Didn’t Hire a Wedding Planner… but Wish We Had” which I posted on my facebook page. It was brilliantly written. It had several great points.
