full of delicious eats.

Lisa Marie was stunning in her gown, lace bolero and birdcage veil with a feathered flower in her long, dark hair.  Loved it!

The Details

The bridesmaids wore lovely gray dresses and carried bouquets of dark purple calla lilies.  The wooden tables were decorated with candles, leaves, pumpkins and gourds.  The wedding cake was chocolate laid with decadent chocolate leaves and topped with adorable bird cake toppers.

During the toast we learned about the time Lisa Marie sang Bon Jovi in her sleep.  (Of course, we had to bring Bon Jovi back later in the evening after hearing that!)

The Music

I loved watching Lisa Marie and her family sing and sway along to, “Scenes From an Italian Restaurant.”  They were having fun on and off the dance floor all night long.

The three course meal was amazing!  Guests were treated to s’mores melted over the campfire outside and homemade cookies to take home, on top of the chocolate wedding cake.

What a gorgeous day!  Thanks so much for inviting us to be a part of it.

The bridal party strutted in wearing sunglasses, the girls in black cocktail dresses, guys in black suits, to Will Smith’s “Men in Black.” Then the Best Man removed his jacket, dusted it off, and hit the floor with the Worm.

The music faded, then rose again as I introduced Kristin and Hunter to the thumpin’ bass of “Bring ‘Em Out” by T.I. The couple bounced in, so full of energy that the entire bridal party jumped to the dance floor with them to finish out the song.

Kristin and Hunter positioned themselves for their First Dance and begin a lively two step to “Forever and Ever, Amen” by Randy Travis. The smile never left Kristin’s face as her dress hindered her movement, and without hesitation, she lifted her skirt and bounced around the floor with Hunter.

Kristin’s unbridled enthusiasm and energy filled the room and drew her guests to her. It was a pleasure to behold.

And our friend Lori O’Toole was there to capture it all! Lori told us about a little known estate called Wethersfield where they had stopped for photos, with sprawling gardens that rival Vanderbilt and wandering peacocks. I love, love, love these photos.

Jenn and Mike of Beautiful Memories Video did an awesome job filming Kristen and Hunter’s day. Check out their blog post for some great images and video clips at http://www.beautifulmemoriesvideo.blogspot.com.
