When guests entered the foyer for cocktail hour they retrieved their escort cards from a table with a huge curly willow centerpiece with hanging votive candles. Once formal photos were done it was time to do the introductions in the mansion’s ballroom. They entered to the ever so popular Let’s Get Married – Remix. The couple went right into their first dance to So Beautiful by Musiq. They lead their 150 guests into the tent for dinner. Their guest tables included high and low centerpieces, CD favors and menu cards (created by the Bride). Later in the evening their DJ did a great job keeping the dance floor packed. In addition to serving wedding cake Eboni and Nate also did a candy buffet. At the end of the evening we passed out sparklers with personalize matchbooks to their guests for the couple’s grand exit. The couple honeymooned in the Bahamas.

Although it poured down raining earlier in the day, the weather cleared just in time for the couple’s outdoor wedding. They held their ceremony in front of the gazebo at
Grey Rock Mansion. They had a large group of friends and family in their wedding party to stand up for them as they exchanged vows. Their 9 bridesmaids (including maid/matron) wore brown bridesmaids dresses in varying styles and lengths and they carried blue hydrangea bouquets. Their 7 groomsmen (including Best Man) wore tan linen suits with a brown striped tie and coral rose boutonnières. Their 2 flower girls wore tiffany blue dresses with a brown sash and carried pomander balls instead of a flower basket. Their 2 ring bearers and broom bearer wore tan suits with tiffany blue bow ties. Yes you counted correctly…they had a wedding party of 21 but they were such a fun group.
The bride who wore a gorgeous, strapless Maggie Sottero beaded gown was escorted down the aisle by both her parents to No One Else by Amiel Larrieux. Their guests cheered as they made their way up the aisle after being pronounced husband and wife. After the ceremony the couple took formal photos with their wedding party and parents while their guest were directed inside the mansion for cocktail hour.

We all know couples have arguements from time to time. Most spouses will tell you that in a marriage you should “pick your battles“. I thought the quote below might help with deciding how far you should argue your point in a disagreement.
Ask yourself, “What difference will this thing we’re fighting about make in ten years? In one year? In a month?”

Happy marriage!

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.

Many married couples will tell you that marriage is about compromise and sacrifice but I think this quote explains why.
When you make a sacrifice in marriage, you’re sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.
