The best part of their wedding? Dan and Cara (and their moms) had planned out every detail of the wedding day, then they relaxed and enjoyed the wedding as it unfolded. They paid attention to minute details, like providing cheese and crackers and little sandwiches for the family and wedding party before the ceremony. The ring bearers were in shorts so they could enjoy the Gardens and "be boys". They included personal touches, like having their professional musician friends play sets throughout the reception, and "planting a tree" as part of the wedding ceremony.Wright Focus Photography captured all the important moments, from Cara getting ready to the first dance of the bride and groom. Cheri's Bakery delivered and set up a beautiful wedding cake, "guitar" groom's cake, and money-saving sheet cake for the reception. Plaid Giraffe was the florist, providing table centerpieces with the necessary height to enable guests to talk easily without having to move to look around bulky, low arrangements. Just Say Cheese Photo Booth had a plethora of fun props for some one of a kind keepsake photos. They hired a wedding coordinator from Events by Ashley, to make sure everything went according to schedule.Why do I mention these details? Each item mentioned contributed to a more pleasant, comfortable, memorable event for their families and friends. The most important? That the key people ( bride, groom and their parents) all ENJOYED the day, leaving the professionals to do their jobs, so they in turn could relax and savor every moment.
I personally loved seeing it all come together so beautifully. My wish for the newlyweds is that their married life continue to unfold in the same purposeful, yet with that "relax and revel in the moment" attitude. Congratulations, Cara and Dan!
