Our beautiful niece, Miss Meagan and her future military husband, Chris, met and live in Savannah, the proclaimed “Hostess City of the South.” They chose a Savannah River boat for their wedding. It was on the beautiful Georgia Queen paddle wheel boat http://www.savannahriverboat.com/ . The wedding theme was “1920’s Prohibition.” The guests all dressed in ’20’s period flapper” outfits. Our outfits came from La France  https://www.facebook.com/lafranceybor in GaYBOR of course!

    The beautiful Southern Bride wore a traditional white wedding dress for the ceremony with handmade lace veil from Sheila in Minnesota. Later she then changed into a b/w flapper dress for the reception/dinner. We were asked to bring our gold frame for some fun photos.

    Our new nephew Chris is an U.S. Army Ranger with a fun sense of humor. Our niece told us to be prepared for a Wild Wedding service but nothing could have prepared us for what happened next!!!!! The ceremony was performed by the army base Chaplin. In the service where he said “Does any body object to this marriage, speak now or forever hold your peace”, a, person in the audience stood up and said “Meagan you can do so much better than Chris….”

    Just then the groom pulls out a gun from his tuxedo and shoots the guy! The family and friends were all in shock! We were docked next to the busy River Walk with the many hotels, restaurants on the shoreline. Fake blood shot out of his chest and back as he fell to the floor. The groomsmen dragged the guy out by his arms down the bridal center isle! The bride then pulled a flask from her garter belt, both toasted each other and took a drink. Then the wedding proceeded. LOL!!! ( The wedding couple had this all rehearsed &  filmed. We will be sure to share the video with our readers soon).

      A cocktail hour followed the wedding then a dinner all onboard the boat. The Night of surprises was not over yet! The couple 1st dance started. The groom walked down one side and the bride down the other side. They stopped and met in the center of the boats dance floor. The bride unwrapped her rose bridal bouquet then roses all fell on the floor. The groom picked up one rose as they danced the Tango!!! Later, we were told that they were at dance classes practicing for months. Encore… Encore!

    It was like a scene out of a movie!!!  Who knew they could dance so well together. Under a sky full of stars the boat re-docked with the Savannah River Walk as a back drop. It was truly one of most beautiful and fun wedding we have ever been to.

    Congratulation to the new niece/nephew married couple Meagan & Chris!!!
