After our introduction, we headed straight onto the dance floor, I handed off my bouquet to my sister, and DJ Wild Bill queued our song: “You Are The Best Thing,” by Ray LaMontagne. Nick and I had spent four Saturday mornings with Kevin from Dance Harmony learning the East Coast Swing to accompany the folksy, [...]
While Nick and I were smiling for the camera, our guests moved under the tent for the cocktail hour. They were supposed to gather around the rectangular pool — amidst round high top tables and mason jars of candles tied with red and orange ribbon — but the wet weather prevented that from happening. However, [...]
Of course we had to pose for a few portraits with the most important people in our lives. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for your support and guidance. Thank you for crafting and constructing and helping to bring all of our wedding day dreams to life. Thank you, ladies! Mary: for being the beverage coordinator. [...]
After we greeted our last guest, we climbed the stairs and walked through the pool house to the lawn where everyone had gathered. It had started to rain again, and everyone had their umbrellas — everyone but the newlyweds! {Photo Credits to Guest} There were lots of hoots and hollers as we walked by our [...]
We walked down the slippery stairs. We said, “I do” and “I promise.” We exchanged rings. We listened to a sweet song surrounded by the most important people in our lives. We kissed. We celebrated. And we left the garden as Mr. and Mrs.! There were more kisses. And a few moments alone before our [...]
Now that I’ve been in my new home for a solid 24 hours, it’s time to get back to the wedding recaps. Dad provided a solid arm for my walk down the stairs. Could either of us have smiled any bigger? And here’s the handsome man that awaited me at the bottom of the staircase. [...]
Nick and I met with Aunt Vicki two months before the big day. She’s a former District Judge, and we couldn’t envision anyone else officiating our ceremony. She was the very first member of Nick’s family that I had the pleasure of meeting. Unfortunately, she no longer holds the credentials to “pronounce us husband and [...]
My sister’s boyfriend (who is practically part of our family) was sweet enough to record video throughout our Wedding Day. I had no idea he would put so much time and creativity into it! This first clip captures all of us gingerly walking down the slippery stairs. Please pay special attention to the following: The [...]
Where were the bride and groom while the guests were waiting under the tent? Well, after I got some formal photos taken with my bridesmaids and parents, we returned indoors. And, as soon as we were safely under rooftop, the raindrops began to fall. With less than an hour to go until the start of [...]
The drive to Lauxmont Farms is breathtaking. As you reach the peak of Samuel S. Lewis State Park, the ribbon of the Susquehanna River unravels before you, and stunning mansions appear across the rolling hills. Depending on the time of day, the sun is either behind you, illuminating the landscape, or to your left and [...]
