January 19th, 2014 was a day filled with laughter and love when Tonya and Marc were married at Villa Siena.
The couple initially met at the bank where Tonya worked. Marc was immediately attracted to Tonya, but had to pursue her for a while. Tonya even tried to set him up with one of her best friends but he smartly refused. He knew what he wanted and finally Tonya realized he was the man for her.
For the wedding ceremony the bride wore a fitted dress with rouching across the bodice and a mermaid flair. A crystal encrusted belt shimmered. The dress laced up the back. In her hair Tonya wore a fascinator and cathedral length veil. Her bouquet brought together white with splashes of pink and purple. Crystal pins sparkled in the bouquet and added a delicate touch, as did the baby’s breath. Tonya’s bridesmaids wore purple silk gowns and carried violet bouquets.
Marc chose a grey tuxedo with white bowtie and white shirt for the occasion. His groomsmen wore grey tuxedos with bowties.
A red runner led Tonya to her groom. Candles glowed at the end of each aisle.
The couple lit a unity candle during the ceremony, but before the bride and groom lit the single candle together, they had their mothers light their individual candles. At the end of the ceremony the couple jumped over a broom decorated with flowers and wrapped with purple satin ribbon.
The ceremony wasn’t all serious. Humor was incorporated and the bride and groom shared not only vows but also their smiles and laughter.
During the reception, the couple’s initials shone on the dance floor. Purple uplighting further personalized the celebration.
Charlie Wilson’s You Are was chosen for the first dance followed by Isn’t She Lovely for the father/daughter dance and Momma by Boyz ii Men.
After dancing, cake was served. A four tiered white fondant cake was decorated with crystals and purple ribbon.
The night ended with a signature Villa Siena sparkler farewell. Congratulations Tonya and Marc. May your days together be filled with the peace and serenity of knowing you have chosen the perfect person to spend your life with. We wish you the best.
