Dutchess Manor Wedding: June and Vinny
The bridal party was introduced to “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas, and before Vinny and June joined their guests, a photo montage played images of the two with their horses and motorcycles. Then they danced themselves in to “Get the Party Started” by Pink. June was radiant with her hair drawn over one shoulder.
The Details
The tables were decorated with pale pink Dutchess Manor roses. Guests were given adorable chocolate horseshoe wedding favors. A bride and groom Mickey and Minnie Mouse decorated the head table.
The Ice Breaker
It was very important to June that her guests have fun the whole night. So she included an “ice breaker” as entertainment at each table: Wedding Mad Libs. Guests filled in adjectives, nouns and verbs to create wacky…and naughty…wedding wishes. We read a few choice ones; it was a task for this group to keep it PG-13. :)
June’s daughter and Maid of Honor revealed that she was the one who set up the newlyweds on their first date. June had called her after their first date and reported seeing a “short, bald Italian guy” at the door, but then she saw his cowboy boots and his smile, and knew he was the man for her.
Some of the sweetest moments: Vinny dancing to “My Girl” with his daughter, her satin slippers standing on his shoes. June and her daughter swaying together as Bette Midler sang, “Wind Beneath My Wings” in the background, and then June’s sons cutting in one after the other.
It was a true pleasure celebrating with such a loving couple, their family and friends. Thanks for having us!

Steph and Jeff,
Thank you so much for being a part of our special day. You were both awesome! Guests have been commenting on the fact that the entire wedding was first class – including the music. My parents loved the fact that the music wasn’t too loud. Everyone loved the fact that the music just made them want to get up and dance. So many people (including my Dad) said they have never danced so much at a wedding!
I loved looking up to see you, Steph, dancing and singing along! I can tell you love your job
Thanks again, so much! We are getting our photos this weekend, so I will be sure to send you some. There was some serious “rug-cutting” going on!
June
