Mike + AnneMarie

Mike and AnneMarie's wedding was my last wedding of September. As anyone knows, the weather can be anything that time of year, but we were blessed with a beautiful warm sunny day. Mike and AnneMarie are very sweet, laid-back, go-with-the-flow type people, and they wanted their wedding to reflect that. AnneMarie made all of the lovely centerpieces for the tables that coordinated with the rest of the Fall decor. They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony on the grounds of the Grove of Butternut Valley, with only one mishap...Remember back in the Fall when they were running all of those non-stop mudslinging political ads? Well, the processional and recessional music were on a cell phone. When it came time to play the recessional song after the ceremony, you hear loud and clear an ad about Antonio Delgado, AKA "AD the Voice" as loud as you can imagine! Far from ruining the moment, everybody laughed (including myself!) and moved on. I also loved the fact that as a gift, somebody had framed old pictures of Mike from high school and placed them in strategic places at the gift and head tables. I think that's something that should become a wedding trend! Who doesn't love embarrassing photos from high school? I had a wonderful time working with AnneMarie and Mike and their families and I wish you many years of love and happiness! Congratulations!

I love wedding dress details! 

Mike's family has a tradition where they hand down this coin to the men in their family on their wedding day. 

This particular table got into a spirited game of ring toss which was quite entertaining. I even got looped into it at the end!
