Country decor, an out of town Kind and Fun Bride, a Groom crazy for his Bride, a venue that was the perfect setting for a fairytale.
Katie and Alex are without a doubt the kindest people I’ve met in a long time, their devotion to each other, family and friends is beyond amazing. I was blessed to do their wedding on a sunny day at the Shannon Community Center in Dublin, California. It’s a hidden jewel in the Tri-Valley area, with bridges that lead to a Garden perfect for a fairytale wedding, and that’s what took place on August 13, 2011.
They had a traditional ceremony, that was filled with laughs, prayers, good wishes and a beautiful song by one of the Bride’s friend.
The Reception did not stay behind, with a country decor, great food, all coordinated by Linda Marshall from Currant Events, a very seasoned Wedding Coordinator which I had the pleasure to work with.
To be honest the wedding was the first day I met Katie, and really only got to say hello and congratulations as I was ready to introduce them, as both Katie and Alex currently live in Washington State, however all of our planning was done via email and phone, she was a blessing to work with.
Dancing was phenomenal and took off from the first 15 seconds of “September by Earth, Wind and Fire” in a matter of a minute the Dance Floor was filled with eager happy guests willing to dance the night away and so did the Bride and Groom.
At 9:30 we did the Bouquet Toss to “Oh Pretty Woman by Roy Orbison” and invited all the guests outdoors to send off the Bride & Groom in a cool custom Vintage 1949 ranch truck filled with haystacks for seating… It was unique and fun!
