Happy 10th Anniversary to Us!

Ferdy and I happily celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary last Friday night with 50 of our closest friends and family, and we had a blast! Although we strongly believe that there is no way you can DJ your own wedding reception, we did DJ our party. Thanks to Ferdy for making some great dinner and dance mixes so we could dance and spend time visiting with others without having to man the controls all night (and no awkward silences between songs).

Our colors were black and fuchsia, so we had black satin floor-length tablecloths, black satin chair covers, with fuchsia chair ties and napkins. Our tall centerpieces had black feathers with fuchsia sparkly accents, with fuchsia candles around the bottom. We used our uplights to give the whole room a pink glow and it was spectacular! (If I do say so myself. Ha ha.) After some appetizers and a great dinner, we cut our cake and then danced and danced!

We’d like to say a HUGE thanks to Rachel and Jamie with Girls With Pearls Photography. We became friends with them through the wedding industry a few years ago. We love both them and their energy. They are hilarious and fun and they took plenty of pictures. They love, love, love their clients, and we love, love, love Girls With Pearls!! Even our family and friends commented on how much fun they were, how nice they were, and how they always seemed to be there capturing every shot but never in the way. We are so excited and can’t wait to see the photos!!

Another thanks goes out to Cakes by Jula. Jula’s cakes are amazing and we knew ours would taste delicious. I came in with 4 pages of pictures, a drawing, explanations, and lots of detail on exactly what I wanted. And Jula did it perfectly! Our cake was elegant and so delicious! Thanks again Jula, we knew we’d love it and we were right. And our guests thank you too, as they also loved the cake. All we have left is the top layer, which we’ll eat on our 11th Anniversary.

We had a great night and loved spending time with our family and friends celebrating a milestone in our marriage. Thanks again to everyone who celebrated with us and our awesome vendors who did such a fantastic job!
