Beautiful Sunday Wedding

We had a beautiful wedding Sunday. Mika Chapman and David McMurray said their vows in front of our historic chapel on a perfectly clear afternoon. No one would have guessed just 24 hours earlier vicious thunderstorms came rolling through east Texas drenching everything for miles around and causing major power outages in Van Zandt county. Thank God they picked Sunday for their wedding date and not Saturday!

Lovely, lovely decorations in front of the chapel and in and around the ballroom. Parents of the bride, Milton and Tina Smith, and two of their very good friends out did themselves for Mika's big day. I could go on and on about the antique wedding toppers on each table, the daisies in their unusual vases, the crystal candle holders on the mantel, etc., etc., but I don't have enough words to describe it all. We took some photos and I'm sure Milton and Tina will send us some as well. Then all we'll have to do is figure out how to put them up on our new web site. :-)

God is good - all the time,

Debbie

It's such a blessing to hear things are going great with you. I do not know who owned the Plantation during 2001-02, but I do know that one of the staff members working during this time did not represent Roseland Plantation in a Christian manner. In fact, she was a married woman who was having an affair with a married man. During a wedding in which this man and his family was involved, the staff person actually worked in the kitchen and served the guest including the man and family. When this was discovered (and things like this eventually are)a lot of innocent people were hurt,and what should have become a joyous occation full of fond memories of a beautiful wedding at Roseland Plantation turned out to be a very sad and hurtful nightmare for many innocent people.
