Let's Grow Old Together

Let's grow old together is the sentiment of the poem on Kathy and Jim's wedding program. The couple was wed at Calvary United Methodist Church on September 22. They celebrated with a reception on the slate terrace and in the Meeting House on the grounds of Mount Vernon Unitarian Church. Although rain was forecast the weather was perfect.

Shepherd's hooks, ribboned lanterns and rose petals marked the path to the slate terrace.



The slate terrace set with cocktail tables ready to welcome guests.



Flowers and decorations are by Free Spirit Floral.

Main Event Catering provided a served dinner for 180 guests.
