These high school sweethearts were married at Villa Siena April 26, 2013. The couple celebrated their love with a Catholic ceremony.
Natalie chose a strapless dress with rouching across the top, which swept down through the skirt of the gown. An elegant diamond belt wrapped the bride’s waist. The bride’s hair was swept back and tucked in a low bun held with a diamond fascinator, over which sat a cathedral length veil. In her hands the bride carried a bouquet of white roses and hydrangeas. Under her dress was a pair of blue satin shoes with flowers on them.
Natalie’s bridemaids preceded her down the aisle in pale, flowing, dusty pink dresses with white bouquets.
After the ceremony, guests were welcomed to the reception in the Villa’s Firenze Ballroom. The color theme was white and cream and executed with white tablecloths and cream-colored hydrangeas in tall standing vases alternating with tabletop vases of white roses on the tables. During dinner a slideshow played.
Natalie and Tyler were called to the dance floor for their first dance. Van Morrison’s Someone Like You played as Natalie and Tyler encircled each other in love. There were many speeches given at the wedding, including one from the maid of honor who met Natalie in gymnastics. Others came from the brothers of the bride, one of whom read a poem. Stories were told and jokes were shared.
Favors were a candy table and coozies. A traditional Villa Siena sparkler farewell finished a beautiful evening.
Congratulations Natalie & Tyler. May the spark that brought you together become the flame that warms your hearts in the years to come.
