Sarah and Antonio were together for two years before they were married on Tuesday, April 19, 2016 – but the bride says she fell in love with the groom when she was 11 years old.
Sarah donned a lace-textured wedding gown with long sleeves and a boat neck, plus a lengthy train and laced veil. She held a posy bouquet of white, pink, and purple roses, hydrangeas, protea, and blue thistle, as did her seven bridesmaids. The bridesmaids all modeled lace-detailed sheath gowns in soft pink with half-length sleeves and boat necklines, all belted with a satin ribbon.
Antonio wore a black, two-piece suit and a white dress shirt with black buttons, and a black bowtie. His lapel came adorned with a soft pink rose and blue thistle. His eight groomsmen also sported two-piece black suits and suspenders, along with dove gray bowties.
Sarah and Antonio started their wedding schedule with appetizers, followed by a blessing before dinner in the ballroom and a surprise, ending with cake and the signature sparkler farewell. The four-tiered, chocolate wedding cake was white and popping with light pink roses at each layer’s bases – topping the cake in a cluster. A large “L” adorned the third tier.
During toasts, the Father of the Bride gave a speech in Spanish, expressing, “With God, she will be very successful.” The Best Man Jose also gave a heartwarming speech in Spanish.
Sarah and Antonio’s first dance was to “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by Frankie Valli. Sarah also sang a song to her new husband and in honor of her parents’ 25th wedding anniversary. Guests were given little jars of mints with “Mint To Be” on the lid.
We wish all the best to Sarah and Antonio.
