The Ribault Club is located just off Florida A1A, but as you drive down the winding side road past 
Kingsley Plantation, you are taken to a place where the traffic of the highway and the river are silenced. Weddings often take place beneath an ancient oak, where you can just glimpse the sparkle of the open water through the trees.
The String Group's trio set up on the back porch of the Ribault Club and serenaded guests as they were seated. After playing all the processionals, we softly played Handel's Aria as the bride and groom enacted a salt ceremony. The minister explained that, in ancient times, two people entering into a covenant would each sprinkle salt from their own bags into the other's bag. As the salt mingled, it meant that the covenant could only be broken if each grain of salt could be separated and returned to its rightful owner! At the conclusion of the ceremony, we played Handel's Hornpipe for the wedding party's recessional, and continued with Andrew Lloyd Webber's All I Ask of You as the guests went inside for the reception.
