Most ceremonies are held in our beautiful sanctuary. However, during the month of April there were two "off site" weddings in which we were privileged to participate. The weather was ideal for both weddings , with an infusion of spring flowers, fragrance, and sunshine.
The first one, April 5, 2007, took place at Giverny, the fabled home of Monet, where expansive flower gardens blanket the landscape !
Suzanne and Brett Woellner solemized their vows, April 5, along with members of their families, along with many onlookers, with a string quartette adding to the venue.
It was not only a memorable occasion for them and their families, but also for John and me to enjoy the beauty of this place!
Then just two days later, Kevin Scott and Landa Acevedo were married on "le Quai", a boat/restaurant moored on the Seine very near the Orsay Museum.
They met here in Paris, on April 7, a couple years ago, and so wanted their marriage to be here. Many guests and family members celebrated with them in this unique setting. We had the privilege of meeting with them in London, where they both live, and also enjoyed a light lunch with them here in our apartment when they came to finalize plans.
We pray for these two young couples, along with the many others who come to the American Church in Paris for a wedding blessing, or a renewal of vows!
