enjoy the biltmore castle in asheville,nc
It's interesting:"It's a shame, given this is a winter wedding, that the minister wouldn't let Paul and Linda have the pantomime theme wedding they originally wanted. Looking at Paul, I think ‘Puss in Boots’ would have been very appropriate."
Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Asheville,NC, the Biltmore castle is a must see! It is truly America's largest home. This is a 250 room home that is still fully furnished with original belongings of the Vanderbilt's! There is also a farm on the estate and flower gardens, a winery and much more! I personally have been there 4 times and have not seen it all yet!
