Sometimes, it's just meant to be.

• Leslie, a Veterinarian and Payton, a Forrester.  knew  each other and were friends for years but lead separate lives.  Circumstances brought them together again, and when the time was right they  wed on the grounds of Leslie's family plantation in south Georgia.
  
  Although the plantation boasted a large hunting lodge, the decision was made to set up a series of large, event tents next to a beautiful cypress tree-lined lake on the property and hold the nuptials and celebration afterwards there. 
  
  Four hundred invitations containing pressed and dried flowers from Leslie's bridal bouquet were mailed to guests across the country.  The wedding took place in the afternoon and the merry making continued late into the night.

  Save the Date Card Sets
    ∙ The square Save the Date Cards were made from two layered squares of highly textured Mulberry Paper imported from Thailand.  The smaller sheet on which the Save the Date text was printed was centered on and invisibly attached to the larger paper square.  Because the paper is as thick as 1/8th of an inch, the four-hundred text sheets were hand printed one at a time.  Each text sheet was also hand-edged in silver metallic gilt , and as the wedding would take place next to the Cypress tree lined lake, springs of dried and pressed Cypress protruded from between the two layered sheets as embellishments.   We also made matching Mailing Envelopes by hand from matching Thai Mulberry paper and printed each guest's name and address on the Save the Date Envelopes in the same green ink and font style as that used for the text on the Save the Date Card.  We selected Post Office stamps that supported the looked of the Save the Dates, stuffed the Mailing Envelopes and had each Save the Date Set hand-cancelled at the Post Office.
