August 2nd, 2013 saw Mckenna and Marcus wed at Villa Siena. The couple was radiant throughout the day with soft kisses and sweet smiles. During the ceremony the quote “This marriage is a preview of what is to come as part of God’s great plan” from Isaiah 25 rang true for Mckenna and Marcus.
The bride wore s strapless gown with beaded upper bodice and tulle skirt edged in lace. For the ceremony she wore her hair up with a few curls left loose. A veil added formality to the ceremony, then was changed to a feather fascinator for the reception. Simple diamond earrings added a little sparkle to the ensemble. Mckenna’s bouquet consisted of a variety of white flowers alternating with green buds. The bouquet was held together with a crystal wrap. Bridesmaids wore grey knee-length dresses.
Marcus wore a grey tuxedo with striped tie for the occasion while his groomsmen wore grey tuxedos with black ties. The men shared stories and laughter before the ceremony and after.
For the indoor ceremony candles were wrapped in a silver metallic material on the fireplace while tiered candles were lit in a bed of black satin in the fireplace.
As guests entered the reception area they were greeted with a sign-in table embellished with framed pictures of the couple surrounded by fresh flowers. Tables were decorated with tall standing vases with a single calla lily and adornments, alternating with tabletop vases of fresh flowers.
The couple’s first dance as man and wife was to Michael Buble’s Dream a Little Dream of Me, followed the father/daughter dance to What a Wonderful World.
The officiant prayed over the meal. Dinner was followed by speeches and then a four-tired cake decorated with stripes, dots and a ribbon. Two wedding rings sat entwined on top. Sugar cookers were sweet favors for guests.
The couple enjoyed a signature Villa Siena sparkler farewell before leaving for their new life in a car decorated with hearts and balloons.
Congratulations Mckenna and Marcus. May the laughter and love that filled your wedding day be a part of each and every day of your future together.
