"Bless the Broken Road"

Carolyn and Abdallah were married in historic Hollin Hall's Fireplace Room on the afternoon of August 25.  Their wedding program contained words from the song "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts...

"...This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you."

Forever More


Saturday's rainshowers held off long enough for Moushaline and Michael to be married in Hollin Hall's main walled garden on the morning of August 25.  Guests entered the garden through the arbor near the landmark windmill. Garlands of flowers bordered the path.

work together to overcome their obstacles.
