For Molly and Jacob, this wedding day was a lifetime in the making. This adorable young couple first met at church, and they’ve literally grown up together! With such a sweet love story, it was no surprise that their December wedding was as lovely and darling as the couple themselves.
The wedding had a romantic color palette with shades of red, from the pink and red roses in the bride’s bouquet to the long, burgundy gowns the bridesmaids wore. Jacob and his groomsmen were looking handsome as ever in their gray suits and burgundy ties, while Molly wowed everyone in her stunning Alfred Angelo gown. The strapless a-line dress featured a glittering jeweled belt and a delicate chapel train — but the best accessory of all was the bride’s lovely smile when she saw her future husband!
The ceremony was a simple one, complete with a talk on God’s intentions for marriage and advice for the happy couple. Molly and Jacob exchanged vows and rings, and then Jacob kissed his bride and made her his wife (yay!). Then, it was time to head inside for dinner and dancing.
Molly and Jacob’s reception meal started with a delightful selection of hors d’oeuvres: brie and raspberry puree puff pastry, crispy coconut shrimp, and bacon and mac and cheese bites. The couple made their grand entrance into the reception hall and shared their first dance as a married couple (to “Hideaway” by Jacob Collier), before splitting up briefly to dance with their parents — including a surprise dance for Molly and her mom! Then, everyone settled in to enjoy speeches and a delicious dinner.
Guests dined on caesar salad, creamy mashed potatoes, fresh green beans, and a choice of grilled chicken breast stuffed with prosciutto and provolone or grilled atlantic salmon. For dessert, the couple opted for a selection of pies instead of cake (and by the looks of it, everyone enjoyed them very much). The reception was lighthearted and full of laughter and music — a beautiful start to the next chapter in Molly and Jacob’s love story.
