Congratulations Ian and Meghan

For this ceremony and reception, we were at the beautiful Pine Forest Country Club. The colors were pink and sage green, which were perfect for a summer wedding. The alternating high/low centerpieces consisted of assorted pink, green, and white flowers surrounded by candles. The white table cloths added to the summery look (well, and the view of the golf course from the windows did also. :-) Even the favors matched: pink and green Jelly Bellies in little boxes, tied with pink and sage ribbons. Luckily, the events were all held indoors, because the temperature outside was around 100 degrees and it would have been so hot!

Meghan was so beautiful in her gown: it had a full, ball gown skirt with layers of tulle, lightly sprinkled with beaded accents, topped by a beaded bodice. Her long, chapel length veil was gorgeous with its beaded accents that matched the gown's skirt. The bridesmaids all wore sage green gowns and carried pink flowers, as did the Bride. Ian looked handsome in his tux with sage green vest and tie. The groomsmen wore the same and they all looked great!

The ceremony was so sweet and filled with meaning. It’s obvious that Ian and Meghan are very much in love and strong in their faith. Their first kiss was one of the longest ones we’ve ever seen, and the guests loved it! I must mention the soloist, Regan, who played the guitar and sang during the unity candle lighting. She is only 16 years old, and is already amazing! She has an incredible natural talent and I can honestly see her being well known in the music industry some day.

After the special dances, it was time for the toast and cake cutting. The Bride had cupcakes instead of a traditional cake, and they were arranged beautifully. The guests loved the assortment of flavors, and they were a big hit! (Oh, wait, I have to get back to the toasts. I think this wedding won the prize for the most toasts ever. There were nine toasts, and they lasted for over twenty minutes!) It was plain to see that many people love Ian and Megan and wanted to share their wishes for them.

From the first song to the last, everyone was on the dance floor having a great time. From the littlest ones to the oldest, all the guests had fun dancing. There were so many cute little kids at this wedding, and they were all so sweet! This was another reception that proved that you don’t have to have alcohol to have a fun time.

Following the bouquet and garter tosses and the last dance, Ian and Meghan ran through sparklers, jumped in their well-decorated car, and headed off to their new life together. Congratulations Newlyweds and enjoy your honeymoon in the Florida Keys!
