Needless to say that they received everything that they could have possibly wanted because they were frugal and wise in their choosing of gifts. They had a very exclusive wedding on one of the private plantations in South Carolina and believe me the wedding was beautiful. The most beautiful part was their graciousness.

Thank you Aleta.. you're much too kind. I bet that wedding WAS gorgeous - we have some very beautiful plantations scattered here in South Carolina! Im sure you were so proud!
