The sun sinks toward the waters of the Currituck Sound, and twilight falls over the assembled crowd as stars begin to emerge over Historic Corolla Park. The waves surge forward and sigh softly as they recede. A violin chord is strummed and the guests turn expectantly to see the bride, illuminated by the soft glow of dusk.
Imagine walking down the aisle with this sight before you. Beyond the altar lies the Currituck sound, open sky and setting sun. This could be your wedding, beneath the stars and before the waves: I do.
