Joseph and Kara on April 9th at All Saints Chapel in Raleigh

Kara sits with her grandmother while pictures are being taken after their wedding ceremony.

Joseph and Kara wanted to emphasize their love for their families in their wedding ceremony, and their love for the larger family they create together. They have been together five years, appreciating how each other is down to earth, solid, and their best friend.

They loved All Saints Chapel in Raleigh not only because it's so lovely, but also because they could have their reception downstairs , catered by the wonderful Unforgettable Food Affairs, and DJ'ed by Timothy of Diamond Entertainment.

Here are Joseph and his groomsmen in front of All Saints Chapel.

The altar looked beautiful with their unity candle on it and votive candles surrounding it.

Their pictures were taken by Robert Filcsik Photography and I hope to have some of these instead of my meager DROID pictures soon. Their florist was Petals Florist out of Garner with Diane, their friend, decorating the chapel. And while I'm at it, Maureen Mashburn (The Cake Lady, 919-772-8084) provided their cake.

Ava and Blake, their Flower Girl and Ring Bearer, were so wonderful and just as the right age to be delighted to be a part of the ceremony.

This is our photographer Robert taking my picture with Kara and Joseph after the ceremony.

They went on their honeymoon is a cabin in Gatlinburg, TN and I hope had a wonderful time. I wish them all the best for a love that blesses all the lives they touch!
