So I've said it a million times, and heard it even more. Tying the Knot. I never thought about it much, I guess. You know...tying the knot...getting married...yeah. A few weeks ago, Heather and Jeff explained to me that they would be "tying the knot" during their ceremony in front of the Upper Falls at
Letchworth State Park. OK. Wait a minute...what??
Apparently, 'tying the knot' is actually an old English custom whereby the couple's hands are actually tied together with rope during their wedding ceremony to symbolize their union as one. Yup, and according to legend, the couple were not to untie their hands until they consummated the marriage :) Now I don't know much about that last bit, but it sure was a treat to watch these two tie the knot on a hot August afternoon in front of their international families and friends.

Heather and Jeff compliment each other so well. A ying and a yang.
She is just darling. Vibrant and full of life.
He is a bit more reserved. Kind, gracious and and an incredibly talented musician.
Together they shine.
Good times were had by all who attended. The weather was perfect, the setting was magical and the band kicked some serious butt. Thank you all for being so wonderful to us. And thank you to
Kelli Marsh for your curiosity, love and support on this fine day.
Heather & Jeff - Tying the Knot
Coolest Wedding Day gift EVER!!! Heather presented this Gretsch Country Gentleman hallow-body acoustic to Jeff just before his band went on. Needless to say, he was a bit taken back. But he picked it up and played like a champ, and we all ate it up! Another little tid-bit...George Harrison used this guitar (not this exact one, but this type) when the Beatles recorded All My Lovin way back in 1963. Countless of other guitarists have used this body before and after, but I'm what you might call a beatlefreak.
Here's a funny one. Note to Jeff...exercise caution when inciting a chest butt from your flower girls.
That's all for now dear friends. I hope that this finds you well.
love.laughter.light,
