Summating Promise: It's Wedding Season!!

It is officially wedding season and Bel-Wood held their first ceremony and reception this past weekend.

Friday night the bridal party arrived for their rehearsal. Everything went great, except for the rain which caused us to have the run-through inside instead of outside, where the ceremony actually takes place.

Friday night I was so excited to see the bride and groom and to finalize table settings and decor.

When the big day arrived, it was smooth sailing.

I arrived early and helped set up and make sure everything was prepared for the actual event.

We made sure everything was perfect as we anxiously awaited for the bridal party to make their way onto the property.

When I saw the bride in her gown, I almost lost it (I absolutely love weddings). She was beautiful and you could tell she was nervous. Honestly I can say she was one of the most calm and easy going brides I have ever seen.

Guests started arriving about 40 minutes before the ceremony, and unfortunately had to wait in the lobby a while due to the cold weather!

We were counting our blessing that the rain held off and even saw the sun come through the clouds a little.

When all of the guests were seated, we started lining everyone up to walk down the isle.

While the ceremony was taking place, we were inside lighting the candles on the tables and the servers were putting water glasses out.

The ceremony soon ended and the guests made their way into the ballroom, where appetizers were served.
The bridal party was announced and the party began!

The DJ was from the radio station 103.5 and knew how to get the guests on their feet.

One of my favorite parts of the night was the anniversary dance with all the married people in attendance. One couple had been married for 55 years!!
I hope to one day have a marriage that lasts that long.

Overall, Bel-Wood had a successful kickoff to their wedding season!

Here are some pictures to enjoy from the bride and groom's special day!
