| It was a beautiful day. I married my husband, Sam Pardue, on September 15, 2001 |
| We would like to thank the garden crew, who labored many, many hours that this ceremony site might flourish. Our deepest gratitude to: * Jennifer Hart (Chief Landscaper, tiller of the soil, fertilizer, and our fearless leader) * Lisa Wittenberg (Dead header extraordinaire) * Jenn Dilullo (planting expert) * Gary Hillyard (for mowing this entire grassy expanse) * Bill Kluth, for his backhoe operation and fence building. * Bill and Judith Kluth for their generous donation of water that helped these plants grow. |
