The Fairytale Wedding

I can't do justice to the beautiful wedding with this little post! Oh what I'd give to have the photographers images to share the special moments with you. (I'll probably be adding photos as they become available.) It was a fabulous day. Of course, the morning and afternoon were just decorating and doing hair and nails. In the afternoon I also took care of the flowers. All of that leading up to the big event!



It was absolutely amazing! Guests parked at the reception site (as directed on the wedding website) where they boarded the park train. The train made a special stop to let out the wedding guests at the bridge leading to the gazebo on the lake. The gazebo served as the backdrop for the ceremony officiated by a Messianic rabbi. It was a beautiful ceremony with beautiful music from live musicians and, most of all, a beautiful bride. She carried three roses, which she gave to the mothers and grandmother at the conclusion of the ceremony. The train was waiting to transport guests back to the reception location where a candlelight dinner with champagne and wassail was served. The musicians provided the music until after the cake was cut and the dancing began. My youngest sister and her boyfriend put together an awesome dance mix that kept the dance floor busy. The bride and groom and some of my cousins were very entertaining! It was a very lively party - definitely the most fun I've ever had on a dance floor. Through a cloud of bubbles the bride and groom headed out to their tropical honeymoon. The absolute greatest moment for me was when I asked my sister, the bride, "Is it what you imagined?" Her answer....."It's better."
