Jennifer is an performance artist, working as marketing and production manager for Michael Belk (http://www.michaelbelk.com/) a nationally known photographer. Michael came to photograph his protege's wedding, gratis. Amazingly generous.
Jen's new husband, Scott Plumbly, is chef of Criolla's Restaurant in Grayton Beach. It is rated as one of the top 20 resturants in Florida. Criolla's staff catered the wedding with first class gourmet dishes. Scott made the wedding cake, a work of art adorned with pineapple seastars, orchids, creamy thick butter frosting and chocolate layers (I am sure this is very basic description from an untrained pallette...to be corrected and embellished when the newly weds drop out of cloud nine). Maybe we will even get the recipe!
The event was exceptional for all the above reasons, but also because the condo at which the wedding took place is on the shore of a spectacular coastline in the community of Watercolors near Destin. As Jen and Scott exchanged vows, the intimate group of friends and family looked out over a glittering Gulf, lipped by white sands and capped with blue skies.
Family members rented the most terrific "cabins" from Florida State Parks: http://www.floridastateparks.org/graytonbeach/Photos-Park.cfm . Each "cabin" sleeps up to six people comfortably, sports a porch with rocking chairs, fireplace and modern kitchen. No phones but cell phones work there. No TV but a game table to scrabble, cards, etc.
The beach is nearby through piney paths and over real live barrier dunes that can only be found in places likes national parks that harbor them from development.
Jennifer and Scott stayed up the night before recording all their favorite jazz and blues CD's. They have exquisite taste. Listening to Nora Jones and Dave Brubeck, I thought I had died and gone to heaven...well, almost!
