Nestled in the Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania sits a country inn called The Stroudsmoor. This is where vows would be declared and promises made. An outdoor ceremony was planned. The gazebo would be tastefully decorated for the bride and groom to pledge their love for one another.
The bride and her father would walk together along a cobbled stone path bathed in shadows and sunshine. Beautiful music would accompany their stroll together as the guests would stand to see this beautiful bride. Love would fill the air.
The guests would enjoy the view of the mountains in the background as the father of the bride kissed his daughter's cheek, then clasp together the hands of the bride and groom. .
One hundred and eighty guests were expected to be in attendance to witness the joining of these two very special people. Family and friends would journey from near and far to celebrate this union. The ceremony would be heartfelt and emotional, simple but meaningful. Tears of joy would ebb and flow as vows were proclaimed and promises made.
It would be the perfect day. A mild 72 degrees, blue skies with lovely white puffy clouds that shadowed the mountains.
Friends and family would fill the white chairs, placed just so, leaving the shadow of their presence.
After the "I DO", the celebration would begin inside the inn, where everyone would relax and enjoy the party that would surely flow with champagne and well wishes.
Cocktail hour would flow with delicious appetizers, as guests enjoy the piano player's serenade in this beautifully appointed room.
The inn also provided a "bridal suite" just off the main room that was a cozy place for the bride and her maids to "touch up" whenever they felt the need.
The Stroudsmoor Inn would prove to be the perfect place for a very special Wedding Day.
