Madi and Glenn wrote the next chapter in their storybook romance when, years after they met as teenagers in church, they were married in a “Beauty and the Beast”-themed wedding on February 20, 2022.
Madi looked gorgeous in her grandmother’s long-sleeved ballgown covered in embroidery with see-through sleeves, a V neckline, and a full skirt. Her accessories included gold heels and a full-length veil. She carried a red rose bouquet accented with crystal Mickey Mouse ears and crystal brooches, tied with a gold ribbon. Her three bridesmaids wore matching royal blue full-length sleeveless dresses and carried smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet.
Glenn wore a gray suit with a gray vest, white shirt, royal blue tie, royal blue pocket square, and red rose boutonniere. His three groomsmen wore navy blue suits with navy vests, white shirts, yellow ties, yellow pocket squares, and red rose boutonnieres.
The groom’s father officiated the ceremony, which included the couple reading personal vows to each other.
Guests wrote cards for the couple to read on their first anniversary in lieu of a guestbook, then dined on a buffet-style meal of Caesar salad, rustic Italian bread, mostaccioli with red sauce, and chicken sauteed in a lemon butter sauce. Dessert was served from a gelato cart.
During the speeches, the maid of honor told the couple how happy she was that they found their happily ever after. The best man, the mother of the bride, and the groom’s parents also spoke.
Glenn and Madi’s first dance as man and wife was to “This Is It” performed by Madi’s brother. The newlyweds danced with family to “You’ll Be in My Heart” by Brent Morgan. The anniversary dance was to “The Wedding Song” by Noel Paul Stookey with Madi’s parents being the last ones dancing!
The one-tier royal blue cake was decorated with pearls and topped with a Wall-E and EVE ornament.
We wish Madi and Glenn a lifetime of happiness!
