Another wonderful wedding!

Congratulations to Emily & Tim Raab!

A wonderful couple who rolled with the punches. Nothing would stand in the way of their happiness, kudos to both of them and all the guests who traveled through "Irene" to share the day!

With back up plans in place, the wedding went on as scheduled in our beautifully decorated Grand Ballroom. We hung a garland of seeded eucalyptus (courtesy of Ruth Payne at http://www.lovefleuressence.com/ ), brought in ferns dotted with fresh flowers the bride brought with her and lots of candles.

The setting was truly magical, safe and sound inside with a hurricane raging just outside.

Check back for pictures from Rand Harcy , their photographer.

Luckily, the Estate fared very well through Irene. We have power thanks to the awesome Progress Energy crew that made quick work of getting us back on the grid yesterday. Although we have back up generators, it's always nice to have unlimited power...something we all take for granted until we lose it.

We're really looking forward to seeing all our Hudson Manor couples and their families today at our Summer Tasting and Open House, along with many new couples coming to visit.
