13 Years in the Making...

Erica and David met 13 years ago while in high school where the chase began. David never told me this but I have a feeling it was love at first sight or close to it! They both dated other people over the years but it just never clicked with them and Erica and David always remained friends. Then a little over a year ago the chase came to a close and the only one who figured it out was their nephew Jaden. Kids are so perceptive!

The wedding was beautiful and full of joyous tears, mostly from the groom (sorry David, it was cute). The Rosen Shingle Creek Resort was the perfect setting and the rooms looked amazing courtesy of MonCheri Flowers and Unique Linens. Soundwave Entertainment Systems not only provided the great dance music throughout the evening but they lit up the room to create a beautiful purple hue. After the delicious dinner, it was time for the formal dances and then Erica’s mom’s surprise song dedication. It was an emotional moment and I’m sure most of the room was in tears just like me!

Then DJ Les kicked up the music and opened the dance floor and the Appletinis began to flow. It was soon time for cake cutting which is one of my favorite moments in every wedding reception. I encourage the use of hands instead of forks…it just makes it more fun and unknown on how it will end up. This time was no different…it started out clean but quickly became messy after David put frosting on Erica’s nose not realizing she had a handful of icing and wasn’t afraid to use it. She lathered the side of his face with butter cream and then managed to get it up his nose! I know it sounds icky but it was so cute and then, of course, the kiss…so romantic! It was a night filled with wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. A very special THANK YOU to Marc Harmon for the stunning photos…you truly outdid yourself!

Congratulations Erica and David…it was a BLAST!!!

Thank you to all the fabulous vendors who helped make this day memorable!
