Samantha and Dale at Creative Catering

www.memoriesbymark.com
The past weekend's rains finally stopped in time for the renewal of vows for a great couple, Samantha and Dale Lowe.  It was a renewal of vows for the couple's 25th anniversary, a rarity these days!  The back story of this event is unique in that back in 1987, these two kids loved each other but circumstances were such that a big wedding was out of the question.  So Samantha and Dale along with two others went to the old downtown Ft.Pierce Courthouse and got married in the gazebo that was in the front of the courthouse.  The only problem was that at that time, The St. Lucie County Jail was attached to the old courthouse so as their ceremony was taking place, several of the prisoners whose cells faced the street began yelling out to the couple.   Not exactly a storybook wedding!  

But as time went by, Samantha always dreamed about that fairy tale wedding she never got and so made a deal with her parents that if she was married for 25 years, they would pay for that dream to come true.  As all of you parents know, kids never forget and so after 25 years of dreaming to have the wedding with the man of her dreams, it all came true on July 14, 2012 at Creative Catering's facility at The Springhill Suite Hotel in St. Lucie West.

Samantha looked like a high end bridal model when we saw her for the first time as she glowed with happiness all day.  Even the rainy weather would not dampen her spirits or those of her husband, Dale. The ceremony took place at the Chapel of Love at The Springhill and afterwards Suzanne took the bridal party for photos while guests had a cocktail hour in the foyer.  Paul, from Memories by Mark was the videographer at this event while I was the DJ!  Talk about one stop shopping!  It just makes so much sense to hire one company for your photos,video and DJ that way everyone works together to make the event successful. Of course we also offer the photo booth rental as well as event up lighting.

I introduced the "newlyweds" into the reception and they had the special dance together and were later joined in by the bridal party.  Karyn and her staff at Creative Catering served their usual outstanding dinner prepared by Chef Andrew to the delight of the guests.  After dinner is was party,party,party and I don't think that the bride was off the dance floor for more than 10 minutes the entire night. It was full stream ahead as the party continued to 10 o'clock with the dance floor still rocking out to the tunes of DJ Mark.  The couple headed off to the hotel tired but filled with joy that their dream of a perfect wedding came true thanks to Karyn, her staff and the entire staff from Memories by Mark.

Since 1985 Memories by Mark has been providing award winning photography, videography, photo booth rentals, and event up lighting.  We have a package to fit every budget and every circumstance.  Don't trust your memories on an unknown, unlicensed, uninsured photographer that had a cheap price on Craig's List!  You do not have a second chance to get your wedding memories captured correctly nor is a family friend or relative that has a camera qualified to shoot your wedding.  It really makes no sense to spend thousands of dollars on a wedding and then not photograph and/or videotape the event correctly. You cannot compare the price of photography to a cake or limo as those are just a one time, one use portion of your wedding.  Your photos and videos will last a lifetime so call us today at (772) 466-5747 to find out how affordable our rates are to have a lifetime of....Memories......by Mark!
