Saturday night’s wedding was so elegant! It started later than most, at 8:30, and the candlelight reflecting off the windows made for a beautiful reception. The colors were black and white with red roses, which was gorgeous. The floor-length black table cloths were so dramatic: you just can’t beat them for a formal evening event. At this point I just must say something about the cake, as it was so beautiful! It was white and three tiered, with black ribbons at the bottom of each layer. But it was the details that made the cake so amazing: black scroll designs running up each tier, starting at the ribbon. It’s hard to explain but it was stunning.
We played Sweet Caroline during dinner and it was fun watching the guests at the tables sing along. At that point, we knew which table would be the party table for the night! (Funny, but at each wedding, there always seems to be one party table.) It turns out that Saturday night’s party group was from New Jersey. Gotta love hearing people say “youse” instead of “y’all”! There were dance floor sing-alongs to Living On A Prayer, and Don’t Stop Believing, which was the last dance.
A few other details about the day: Jackie, the Bride, was so beautiful. She has a smile that just lights up the room. Mark, the Groom, was so nice and really took an active role with us planning the reception. The toast by the Best Man was one of the best and most hilarious we’ve ever heard. He told us how a text message resulted in Jackie and Mark’s marriage. I’d love to hear that whole story. And, a separate embarrassing text message from the Groom, intended for the Bride only, was accidentally sent to the Best Man and ended up being read during the toast. It was so funny and so sweet.
After a night of eating, drinking, dancing, and fun, and Mark’s fraternity brothers gathering in a circle to sing, the newlyweds ran through a line of sparklers and into their limousine. So, to the Newlyweds, congratulations “tons and bunches”!!
