Savannah Charm!

There is a jewel of a city that lies along the Georgia coast that is a must see and perhaps a must marry there experience. This city is lovely Savannah, a historic and cultural wonderland. Founded in 1733 by General Oglethorpe it became the Colonial capital of Ga.
   Savannah has a tropical humid climate and is known for it's gorgeous gardens, historic district, old churches and famous restaurants. If you are searching for a unique spot to wed then you might look into Savannah's historic churches that include the Cathedral of St John the Baptist, famous for it's Gothic architecture and Christ Church with it's Corinthian columns. Both of these churches are historical landmarks in Savannah.
  If you are looking to sight see or make your honeymoon in Savannah then a charming bed and breakfast or a fine hotel in historic old Savannah will fill the bill quiet nicely. You will of course wish to take in the sights like Savannah squares, lovely garden areas which are home to bubbling fountains, ancients oaks and a profusion of colorful flowers. Azaleas, dogwoods, camellias, tulips and jonquils present a feast for the eyes and you will wish to snap a lot of pictures to show your friends and family back home..  The Squares are also a great place to propose.  Find a secluded bench, kneel down and pop the question to your beloved, she will be enchanted.
You might enjoy a leisurely  ride in a horse drawn carriage to see the historic homes that line the streets and boulevards.  Juliette Lowe, the founder of the girl scouts has a home here, Sorrel Weed House William Scarborough house and Wormsloe Plantation are other interesting sights of interest. If you wish to elude the beaten path, then check out the Tybee Island Light House, a famous landmark along the coast.
  Savannah besides being famous for it's rich history and traditions is also famous for it's cuisine.  Restaurants you just have to check out are the 1790 Inn and Restaurant, famous for it's pecan crusted grouper, crab stuffed shrimp and hand made truffels.
