Remember the Sturges/Corbitt Couple Who Got Married During Fay?
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
Well it seems things went really well…
They wrote us this really nice letter thanking us for how well the wedding and reception went:
Dear Stacey,
I just wanted to write to say a brief thanks to you and everyone at the Convention Center for pulling off everything we had planned for Bess’ wedding last Saturday despite tropical storm Fay. You all really do have the “can do” attitude you expressed. The rooftop garden room looked lovely and the food was hot and ready when the guests arrived. The cake professional did a lovely job slicing the cake. Several guests mentioned how tasty the buffet was, especially the perfectly done flounder.
The detailed way you gave us a tour of the Chapel back in March also helped very much. My mother’s 86 year old cousin did brave the wind and rain to come to the wedding in her scooter. Because you had told me what you had seen a guest in a similar scooter do at a previous wedding, we were able to reassure her that by arriving early she could go down the aisle and wait in the back until everyone paraded past her, then watch from the back aisle. It meant a great deal to her to be there and having her movements worked out in advance kept her feeling at ease.
Thanks again—
Shelley Sturges
Jekyll Island, located off the coast of Georgia near Brunswick and approximately 60 miles north of Jacksonville, Florida reports today that NO SERIOUS DAMAGE was sustained. Rain and wind caused some debris, and maintenance crews are finishing clean-up and minor repair efforts. ALL PUBLIC AMENITIES ARE OPEN, and access to the island is open and clear. The Sidney Lanier Bridge, which connects Hwy. 17 from Brunswick opened Saturday after being closed briefly due to high winds last week.
