Steven and Allycia became man and wife on March 11, 2018.
Alycia looked radiant in a classic strapless A-line gown with a lace bodice, button-down back, and a train. Her accessories included drop earrings, a pendant necklace, and a hip-length veil. Her cascade-style bouquet was composed of a variety of blooms in shades of purple. Her maid of honor wore a knee-length sleeveless purple dress with a V-neckline and ruched bodice. Her five bridesmaids wore the same dress in pale blue.
Steven got married in a black suit with a white shirt, purple tie, purple vest, and white lily boutonniere. His best man wore a black suit with a white shirt, purple tie, purple vest, and lavender rose boutonniere. The other five groomsmen (and one groomswoman!) wore black suits with white shirts, blue ties, blue vests, and lavender rose boutonnieres.
During the outdoor ceremony, Alycia and Steven shared their hearts with each other, saying “You are everything I want and everything I need” and “You taught me to take life as it comes and always look for the best.”
Later, at the reception, guests enjoyed a meal of herb-crusted pork loin, grilled Tuscan chicken, potatoes au gratin, colorful assorted vegetables, and a mixed-greens salad.
During the speeches, Alycia’s father advised the couple “to just be there for each other, and nothing can touch you.” The best man talked about Steven’s importance in his life, and said that the happiness he saw in the groom would be true throughout his marriage.
Alycia and her father shared a special dance to “What a Wonderful World.”
The three-tier wedding cake was done with a brushed white frosting design and was decorated with purple butterflies and topped with an ornament with the couple’s last name.
Steven and Alycia left their special day under the signature sparkler send-off.
We wish the newlyweds a long and beautiful marriage!
