Angela & Mike's First Dance
Today we are heading to a new wedding venue, at a historic location. Today's wedding is at Penn's Cave! We will be christening the new enclosed pavilion with it's first wedding. The Wedding of Angela and Mike. With every new venue there are bound to be some hiccups along the way and one of the big ones was a date mix-up, forcing the couple to move the wedding to the weekend before they had actually invited everyone to. Still with the power of social media they were able to pull it off.
Angela had contacted me via Facebook about her wedding and said she loved what we had to offer but she wasn't sure she could swing the investment. I explained like I always do why the prices are what they are (look for a blog on that later) and told her I would work with her on a budget. We finally were able to agree on a price that worked for both of us. Then came the planning.
Angela had a love/hate relationship with our online planning tool. She loved the ability to log in at any time and change what she wanted, hated having so many songs to choose and choose from. We actually had 2 consultations with Angela. We learned this was a second marriage for both of them. It is always nice to see 2 people finding love with each other, even more special when they find it again.
At 11AM Mike and the groomsmen took their spots down front as Angela walked down the aisle to "Amazed" By Lonestar. Today wasn't raining but as Mother Nature had been doing all summer she played more games. This time she sent a good bit of wind, making it very tricky to light the unity candle. Once the officiant announced the Mr & Mrs Matthews, bride and groom walked up the aisle to "I Gotta Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas while walking through a cloud of bubbles.
We then immediately did the Grand Entrance, toasts, and blessing and ate dinner. The bridal party then left with Hannah to have pictures done. Upon returning the bride and groom took to the floor for their first dance as husband and wife. This time a little different as both the Bride and Groom picked a song that meant something to each of the as their first dances. First was Mike's dedication to Angela "Love Of A Lifetime" by Firehouse and next was Angela's dedication to Mike "H.O.L.Y" by Florida-Georgia Line.
We played the Mr & Mrs Game where we learned that Angela thinks she is a better driver than Mike, and then wrapped up the day with a final dance for the Bride & Groom to "Bless The Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts and ended the reception to "Time Of Your Life (Good Riddance)" by Green Day.
Congratulation to Mr & Mrs Matthew
