From the Couple“We were inspired by the spring season and incorporated the theme of lovebirds with shades of lavender and gray.”

“Our wedding was made even more special by incorporating traditions from both of our families. Upon arrival to the reception, our guests were invited to toast to ‘life, laughter and happily ever after’ with amaretto, which is a tradition passed on from the bride’s family. In addition, the groom’s grandmothers baked hundreds of small cookies for the cookie tables that were set up at the reception.”

Advice from Her: “The one piece of advice I would share with other engaged brides is to enjoy every minute of their big day because it all happens very fast. The details and hours of planning are fun and important, but don’t worry about the little things!”

Advice from Him: “The best piece of advice I would offer to engaged guy friends is to get involved with as much as you can. It’s more about spending quality time together than about tying ribbons on wedding favors or folding programs.”
