Jenn and Chris Wedding - October 4, 2008

Chris and Jennifer are Married!







Daufuskie Island, the Secret Sister of Hilton Head Island, is one of the most exciting, enchanting, and exotic destinations for a wedding which can only be reached by ferry and just 1 nautical mile from Hilton Head Island, is a sub-tropical island with miles of wide, secluded sandy beaches and beautiful forests. This enchanting island paradise offers a magical retreat into an exotic world of natural splendor and serenity. With only a few hundred year round residents, and nary a car to be found, the golf cart becomes the basic form of transportation around the resort and for exploring the island. In this quiet peaceful environment, devoid of the hustle and bustle of the real world, was a perfect way for Jenn and Chris to start a new relationship in celebration of their marriage.

Sea Oak Manor, the main resort lodge on Daufuskie Island, was an incredible venue for their dream wedding, a magnificent estate situated on acres of oceanfront property with a picturesque famous wedding Gazebo for their seashore wedding dream. The excitement started early in the morning of October 4, 2008, with Jenn and Chuck waiting behind the wall of windows in the Manor looking out at our families waiting in front of the Gazebo at the edge of the ocean. Chris and Navy Chaplain Ben Sandford were looking towards us, both knowing that they would soon become brothers. The seashore wedding dream was to begin just as Sunrise broke over the water with the blue sky overhead and the sound of the waves lazily rolling on shore of the beautiful beach.

Carolyn and I, along with Chuck, Kim, and little Sarah, were surprised to be invited to stay an extra day to chill out with the Bride and Groom in their beautiful ocean front cottage. We arose early the next morning to again experience the beautiful sunrise with a long walk on the beach. Chris and Jenn got to stay the rest of the week for their honeymoon.
