At the driving range, they guys had fun trying out some new Cobra clubs in tuxes. In the midst of sunshine, blues skies, friends and family Christy walked down the aisle to meet her groom. After a sweet ceremony, with some teary eyed special readings, the newest Mr. and Mrs. walked down the aisle as butterflies were released. After a cocktail hour the reception was kicked off with a slide show and dinner. A few teary dances and toasts …
