April 25, 2014 Nathan and Kelli married at Villa Siena under blue skies. The couple met four years prior at the Phoenix Open. That first encounter led to a deep friendship and love. In preparation of the celebration, the couple adorned the Villa with flowers and plants.
To enjoy the beautiful Arizona weather, instead of having the ceremony outside and the reception inside, the couple married in the ballroom then adjourned outside for dinner under the stars. Flowers bedecked the Villa and the outdoor tables for the reception.
Kelli made for an elegant bride and wore a strapless, fitted gown with mermaid flair. A floral lace pattern overlaid the dress. For accessories, the bride wore a pair of diamond pear shaped earrings. The bridal bouquet stayed simple with white roses. The bridesmaids were in pale pink strapless gowns. The gauzy material created an ethereal effect. Each bridesmaid wore her hair down. Like the bride they each carried bouquets of white roses. As for the groom, Nathan and his groomsmen kept things classic with black tuxedos, black bowties and white shirts.
As the evening progressed, the couple danced their first dance. With smiles lighting up the evening, they danced to Then by Brad Paisley. As they danced, bridal party gathered around with sparklers.
For dinner, Kelli and Nathan shared a private sweetheart table surrounded by the important people in their lives.
Dessert consisted of a five-tiered wedding cake with piped roses on second layer while fresh flowers bedecked the top of the cake. A monogrammed ‘H’ was subtly placed on the fourth tier.
Before the end of the night, all the guests received salt and pepper shakers as favors.
Congratulations Kelli and Nathan. May each day of your lives be filled with sunshine and starlight. We wish you the best.
