For Charles and Melissa

...Fairy Tales Do Come True

A bride, a groom, two loving families, 120 friends and a Cinderella setting--their Fairy Tale came true Friday evening at the newest wedding venue on the north side.
Fairy Tale Manor in Frisco hosted its first wedding ceremony as Melissa and Charles became husband and wife following a three year romance and a romantic proposal last October.

Fairy Tale Manor is the new endeavor for Tom and Laura Parker, a couple well known to those of us at LoveNotes, most notably because of Laura's role as a professional photographer with Fairy Tale Photography. Are you sensing a theme here? Consumate professionals, they are both pouring tremendous energy and planning into the venue and it shows in the changes to the decor, attention to detail and goal-oriented staff (big shout out to Autumn!).

The bride chose chocolate and light blue for her colors that extended from flowers, to chair covers, to bridesmaid dresses and even the groomsmen's vests and ties. The wedding party included family members, close friends and college room mates.

The ceremony went smoothly with Gary Lankford of
Heavy G Productions at the sound controls. He's a professional DJ, MC and party leader. Gary handled music for the ceremony as well as the reception--he even played some Lynyrd Skynyrd for me (I'm an old rock 'n' roller), but he has every possible genre of music in his library, and he knows how to keep a party going.

Thanks to
Laura Parker. for sending me the pictures. And as always, my gratitude goes to the newlyweds, for letting me be part of their special day. Charles and Melissa made a memory for me, a Fairy Tale memory, and this one came true.

Blessings,
Ken

Thank you so much for making our special day one to remember! I also very much appreciate the added touch for you to make us a copy of the ceremony! I have that saved in a special place so that in years to come, I can read the ceremony that you presented so wonderfully! We cannot thank you enough!
