Sometimes when you meet a couple, you just know that it works. That's how I felt about Katie and Dan. You could tell that they are best friends, they listen to each other and put each other first. A cute story: Literally, 30 minutes before the ceremony is about to start, Rev. Glynn Ferguson, the officiate for the wedding, comes up to me and asks if I have seen the couple's "homework" that he gives them. He explains that he asks all his bride and grooms to write a short paragraph telling him why they love the other person. He says most times he gets back a few generic sentences. But with Katie and Dan, he got back 2 full pages from each of them listing all the specific reasons why they love each other. I read it quickly and realized how special it was. We made the decision with Katie and Dan that they would read those aloud during the ceremony as their vows instead of the traditional ones they had planned. It was so beautiful and moving. The ceremony was held in a small enchanting barn on the Highland Manor property with the reception in the ballroom inside the main house. It was a beautiful sunshiny day and even the peacocks that live on the property came out to see the wedding! Jay Edwards from Liquid Entertainment provided the music for the ceremony and reception, and as usual, did an amazing job of getting people out of their seats and dancing! Everyone had a blast! The food was amazing and the cake was not only beautiful but also very tasty (the top tier basket was a dairy free cake that the groom could eat). Party Flavors does an amazing job of making sure their cakes look great, taste great and they can even work with dietary restrictions. All of the gorgeous flowers, from the bouquets to the centerpieces were the work of Tommy Murphy with Greenery Productions. At the end of the day, the bride and groom took off in their limo from Above and Beyond Limousines to be delivered to their honeymoon suite. Heather Ahrens from Ha! Photography recorded the whole day with her amazing images. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Shaw!
