Nicole and Steven's Lovely Wedding at Caffe Luna!

Nicole and Steven are such a sweet couple and I was so happy to officiate their wedding. They are both quite mature and a good match for each other. When they put together the ceremony they wanted for their wedding day, I thought it needed some personalization about the two of them so I sent them some questions to answer and from that we created their "story" for the ceremony.  Their parents and guests just loved that and the humor we slipped in. Their wedding was Sunday March 7, 2010 at Caffe Luna, one of the most fun places around to have a wedding and reception.

Their wedding party consisted of two attendants each. We had our rehearsal on the Friday before and practiced everything so the wedding would go smoothly. I thank their friend, Peter, for being our wedding director. Peter, you did a great job. Unfortunately I did not get a photo of him. Nicole was escorted in by her proud father, Michael. The parents are sitting on the front row and got the best seats in the house.

In the ceremony we told how they met and what they were looking forward to in marriage. I told the guests that Steve told me he was looking forward to never hearing the question “so when are you two getting married?” again. Well, that ended right then, right there. We also related their greatest adventure so far: adopting their beagle, Ben, from Tribeagles Rescue. It was a fun ceremony and the guests surely enjoyed it. The parents also enjoyed the tribute their children made to them during the ceremony.

I made the pronouncement, they kissed (too briefly!) and I presented them to their guests.

And out they went to enjoy the rest of their wedding day!

While the guests went to the other rooms for the reception, the wedding party and parents gathered outside for photos and well wishes.

Nicole told me how much she enjoyed the ceremony and how wonderful it was to be married! Steve looks pretty happy too!

The deed is done and it was time to have some fun! Nicole and Steven, I wish you all the best in life!

Many thanks to Tim Oxendine, our wonderful DJ of Diamond DJ Entertainment, for providing our ceremony music and hosting the reception. Here we are clowning around before the ceremony. Thanks also to Jennifer Kidd who was our photographer. Jennifer is always great to work with and does super work. Thanks to the staff of Caffe Luna, especially Ryan Hill, catering manager. She is always a delight to work with.
