Mike and Nicole, who met 10 years ago at work, became man and wife on March 29, 2019.
Nicole chose a stunning sleeveless ballgown with an embroidered bodice, deep sweetheart neckline, illusion back with button-down detail, and a full skirt. Her accessories included pearl hair ornaments and a drop pearl necklace. She carried a bouquet of ivory-colored flowers accented with pale pink roses. Her maid of honor wore a pale-pink full-length gown with a Y neckline and carried a smaller version of the bride’s bouquet.
Mike looked handsome in a dark blue suit with a white shirt, white tie, white pocket square, and white flower boutonniere. His best man wore a dark blue suit with a white shirt, black tie, white pocket square, and white flower boutonniere.
During the outdoor ceremony, the officiant told the couple that love is as fragile as china, so protect it; he also advised them to be servants to each other and make the conscious effort to make each other happy every day. The couple wrote and read their own vows.
Inside at the reception, guests enjoyed a buffet-style meal of a mixed-greens salad with house vinaigrette dressing, creamy mashed potatoes, steamed mixed vegetables, and caprese chicken with mozzarella cheese and a balsamic glaze.
During the speeches, the maid of honor said Nicole couldn’t have picked a better man than Mike, and that she is excited to watch their marriage. The best man said that Nicole makes Mike the happiest he’s ever seen. The bride’s best friend spoke about how happy she is that Nicole found someone to share her life with.
Mike and Nicole’ first dance was to “Thank God I Found You” by Mariah Carey. The guests also participated in a choreographed flash mob dance for the couple.
The three-tier wedding cake was done in white and pink with a cascade of flowers down the side.
The newlyweds left their special day under the signature sparkler send-off.
We wish them all the best in their beautiful new life together!
