think you
will really like what we have to offer here.”
    Everyone’s interest was piqued.  Renee smiled at the older
gentleman and said, “Yes, you certainly have all of our attention.  Let’s see
what my options are.”
    Ivan had already pulled out a file to show the ladies how
their venue could be modified and decorated to suit just about any bride’s
taste.  “Even though our place is quite large, the way it has been designed, we
are able to create anything from a very splashy event to one that is very
intimate.”  
    By this time, Elliott and Joe had arrived and were escorted
into Ivan’s office by the receptionist.  Elliott said, “I thought this place
was small, but it is very big.”
    Renee explained to Elliott what Ivan was explaining earlier
about being able to create a very intimate wedding for them.
    Ivan said, “I have one more thing I would like to show you
that you might like to consider.”  Ivan led everyone outside to one of the most
beautiful and luscious gardens anyone had ever seen.  He said to them, “This is
an option to consider if you would like to have an outdoor wedding.”
    After Renee and Elliott had decided that they would like to
have an outdoor wedding, Ivan said, “Let me show you one more option.  Please
come this way.”
    After a short trek back through the main building, the group
found themselves on the opposite side from the beautiful garden area.  Now they
were standing on the beach.  They were surrounded by sumptuous, soft, white
sand and clear, blue water.”  Ivan said to the awestruck group, “This is also a
very popular option.”
    Everyone was chatting, trying to determine which of the
three options would be the most suitable.  Once back in Ivan’s office, he said
to Renee and Elliott, “I really need to know what option suits you two.  Keep
in mind that I need to know something no later than tomorrow so that I can
instruct my staff as to what needs to be done to meet your needs and so that
everything is to your liking.”
    Renee said, “Ivan, thank you for taking the time to see us
today on such short notice.  Elliott and I will talk about this tonight and I
will call you first thing in the morning.”
    Before they left, Ivan reminded them that should the weather
become bad, an indoor ceremony to suit their taste would be available to them. 
    It was 7:00 when everyone parted that evening and went their
separate ways.  When Renee and Elliott and Joe and Liza returned, their
neighbors Kim and Robert were waving at them.  “Hi,” Kim said as she walked
across the street to greet her neighbors and their guests.  “I’m so glad to see
you again and I hear that double congratulations are in order!”
    Renee smiled at Robert and Kim and said, “Yes, and thank
you.  We are just returning from getting things set into motion.  It’s been
such short notice, but everyone has been so nice and helpful.  I think
everything will go just as planned.”
    Renee introduced Kim and Robert to Liza and Joe.  “Liza has
been the main visionary of this wedding.  We were going to go to the courthouse,
have a brief honeymoon, and have a party for everyone to celebrate once we
returned.”
    Kim smiled warmly at Liza and said, “You did the right
thing.  I just briefly met Renee the other day, but we’ve known Elliott for a
while.  And from the things that he has told us about Renee, I believe that
they should have something very beautiful and special.  They deserve it.” 
    The ladies went into the house to continue talking while the
men stayed outside for a few more minutes before coming in.  Kim teased Elliott
and said, “In your excitement about everything, I’m guessing that you forgot to
mention to Renee and Liza that I am an events planner and would love to help in
any way that I can. I am very well-connected and liked by the wedding vendors
around here and I could make sure that everything goes off without a hitch.  
It sounds like things are
