About the photos and female couple featured on this page:
Recently, a very special ceremony was held at the magnificent Pleasantdale Chateau. While all our weddings, commitment ceremonies, and civil unions are unique and distinctive, this particular day stood out as it captured all our hearts in a way we could have never imagined or expected.
As a same sex couple, Margaret & Carla’s journey to the altar was filled with many obstacles, yet their intense love for each other overcame their struggles and helped them to keep focused on the true meaning of this special day. What seemed to be a fantasy that would never be a reality, they persevered and never waivered. Surrounded by many close friends and loving family members traveling great distances from other countries, their vows and commitment to each other were witnessed in a beautiful outdoor ceremony and their union became official.
The Pleasantdale Chateau staff would like to thank Margaret and Carla for sharing their story of how love can truly triumph over all adversities, no matter how overwhelming they may seem. We want to extend our very best wishes to them both to continue to enjoy their life together, a life filled with much happiness, joy and above all, love!
In Margaret & Carla’s Own Words…
“While we had been engaged for several years, we came back from our 2013 Christmas holiday out West and decided this was OUR year. What were we waiting for? We both knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. Landing in Newark on New Years’ Eve, 2013, Margaret called her maid of honor, her sister, and said “this is it, please help us start researching venues.” Immediately, Margaret’s sister came up with a top three list knowing Margaret and Carla’s criteria – a venue that only holds one event at a time and one that is utterly elegant. We chose the Pleasantdale Chateau because no other venue provides what they do – it is a truly unbelievably gorgeous venue, holds only one event at a time, provides a truly gastronomical experience, and its service can only truly be described in a fairy tale. It’s that’s simple. The minute we walked into the Pleasantdale and had a chance to meet the staff and tour it, we knew this was the place where we would share the most important day of our lives together, not only with each other, but with our family and friends.”
