| Misty and I had many arguments about her wedding and the costs. Her cousin Erin had had a lavish wedding in Austin that must have cost really big bucks. Of course she wanted to compete with that but splashy is not my style and I thought not hers. So instead of having a running fight over nickels and dimes I agreed to a certain amount. Still too much I thought. But as Caro pointed out “you are just cheap and remembering ours in 1962 where I did most of the work”. She was right of course so I borrowed money from my 401K to pay for the wedding. Now that she had a definite budget Misty found a place that did everything for a flat fee. They offered many different level of complexity and options. The place was Heaven on Earth wedding chapel and she chose their Southern Plantation plan. |

| The picture above is a panoramic view of the front of the place but it is hard to visualize the real wedding and reception location from the picture. So I have included some small low resolution pictures to help point out some features. |
 | This sign, impossible to read here, greets you just after you find the hidden entrance to the parking lots. I drove around the place for 10 minutes trying to find a car entrance. The first time of anything is always difficult for me. | The entrance into the building that we found is actually the entrance to the Tiffany ballroom. We never did find the true entrance but “what the hell” we were in. |  |
 | These round windows look out from the Celestial Wing of the Tiffany Ballroom. That is where we went for the reception and dance. | |
| Misty, at first, wanted or talked about having the ceremony outside but she finally understood that September is a rainy month here and rain on the wedding day would cause a lot of plan reorganization. She knows this family is an unwieldy group that handle change poorly and with a lot of whining and whys. |
 This bridge was on the path where the brides maids would walk to the gazebo for an outdoor wedding. |
 Looking back the path towards the Tiffany Ballroom. |
 Misty was real impressed with the Live Oaks. She had not seen trees with trunks that big and crooked. |
 This is the escape view of the gazebo where the bride and groom could go after the ceremony to get pictures made without the crowd. |
 These were unexpectedly blooming in September. They are on the walkway from the bridge. |
 These two willows guard the entrance to a small pond for a poolside wedding I suppose. |
This a picture taken from the top of the stairway in the Grand Hall where Shaun and Misty were married.
