College sweethearts Nicole and Ryan were married on April 6, 2024.
Nicole dazzled in a sleeveless fit-and-flare gown with an embellished bodice, illusion neckline, button-down back, and a train. Her accessories included stud earrings and a full-length veil. Her bouquet was composed of a variety of blooms in shades of white and ivory. Her five bridesmaids wore individual full-length champagne-colored dresses. They carried smaller versions of the bride’s bouquet.
Ryan wore a classic black tuxedo with a white shirt, black bow tie and white flower boutonniere. His four groomsmen wore black suits with white shirts, champagne-colored ties, and white flower boutonnieres.
In the outdoor ceremony, the couple placed their written vows in a special box where they will keep other meaningful items.
Next, guests dine on a classic Caesar salad with romaine lettuce and house-made Caesar dressing; grilled Atlantic salmon; grilled chicken breast; twice-baked potatoes; and colorful assorted grilled vegetables. The signature cocktails were The Bentley (an Aperol spritz) and The Zeus (a mojito).
During the toast, Nicole’s father reminisced about his daughter’s younger years, and spoke about Ryan asking for his blessing.
The newlyweds’ first dance was to “The One You Need” by Brett Eldredge. Nicole and her father danced to “Dance With My Daughter” by Jason Blaine. Ryan and his mother danced to “Forever Now” by Michael Buble.
Other wedding fun included a photobooth and a big light-up sign with the couple’s last name.
The three-tier white wedding cake was done in a brushed frosting design. It was decorated with roses and topped with an ornament bearing the couple’s last name.
Congratulations to this wonderful couple!
