From Deltona — A Family Gathers to Celebrate
On September 27, 2026, Glenda and Mark came from Deltona, Florida to The Little Wedding Chapel of Love in Eustis to say ‘I do’ — and they came surrounded. Family traveling from near and far filled the chapel with the warmth of people who genuinely wanted to be there, who made the effort, and who showed up fully for one of the most important days of Glenda and Mark’s lives.
The chapel photographs from September 27 tell that story clearly. A full gathering at the altar — multiple generations, children included, all present for the ring exchange. A family that did not stand at the edges of the ceremony but came right in close, surrounding the couple with their love in the most literal and beautiful way.
The Best Part of a Wedding
“Glenda and Mark said ‘I do’ surrounded by the people they love most, with family traveling from near and far to celebrate their special day. And the celebration didn’t stop at the wedding! They’re continuing the joy by honeymooning in Florida with their family, turning this special occasion into an unforgettable family adventure filled with sunshine, laughter, and memories they’ll treasure forever. What a beautiful reminder that sometimes the best part of a wedding isn’t just the ‘I do’ — it’s having the people you love there to share every moment. Congratulations Glenda & Mark.” — Lynn Bodell
Lynn Bodell puts it with characteristic warmth and wisdom: sometimes the best part of a wedding isn’t just the ‘I do’ — it’s having the people you love there to share every moment. It is a thought worth sitting with. The vows matter. The ceremony matters. But what truly makes a wedding day extraordinary is the room it happens in — and the people who fill that room.
Glenda and Mark had that. They had a chapel full of people who love them, who traveled to be there, and who brought with them the full, generous presence of a family that knows how to show up.
The Celebration That Didn’t Stop — A Family Honeymoon in Florida
What makes Glenda and Mark’s story particularly joyful is what came after the ceremony. Rather than departing alone on a traditional honeymoon, they chose to keep the celebration going — honeymooning in Florida with their family, turning the entire occasion into an unforgettable family adventure.
It is a choice that says everything about who Glenda and Mark are. For them, the joy of their wedding day was not something to be left behind at the chapel door — it was something to be extended, shared, and carried into the days that followed. Sunshine, laughter, and memories made together: not just as a couple, but as a family.
A family honeymoon in Florida is its own kind of magic. Theme parks and beaches, dinners that go on too long, children who fall asleep in the car on the way home from somewhere wonderful. These are the memories that travel with people for decades — the ones that get told and retold, that become part of the family story, that bind a generation together around a shared experience of joy.
Glenda and Mark chose to give their family that. And in doing so, they turned their wedding day into the beginning of something even larger than a marriage — the beginning of a new chapter for the whole family.
Surrounded — The Ring Exchange That Said It All
The photograph of Glenda and Mark’s ring exchange is one of the most distinctive from the series — not because of what the couple are doing, but because of who is around them. Multiple family members gathered close at the altar, watching, witnessing, present in the fullest sense of the word.
A ring exchange surrounded by family like this carries a meaning beyond the legal or ceremonial. It says: we are not doing this in spite of everyone around us — we are doing this because of them. Because of the love they have given us, the support they have offered, and the belief they have held in this relationship. Their presence at the altar is their blessing, made visible.
And from the outside, looking at those photographs, it is unmistakable: this is a family that loves each other. Deeply, demonstrably, and without reservation.
A Local Florida Wedding at a Destination-Worthy Venue
Glenda and Mark’s wedding is a wonderful reminder that The Little Wedding Chapel of Love is not only a destination for couples traveling from the UK and beyond — it is also a venue of exceptional quality for Central Florida couples who want something more personal, more intimate, and more meaningful than a large event space can offer.
For a Deltona couple, Eustis is a short and easy journey — but the experience of The Little Wedding Chapel of Love feels far removed from the ordinary. The chapel’s beauty, the warmth of its team, and the quality of the ceremonies Lynn Bodell crafts within its walls make it a genuinely special destination for any couple, wherever they are traveling from.
