Danielle is truly a special young woman!! She is a Lieutenant in the Marines, she has already been to Iraq and is heading back in a few months. She is an amazing woman and I so happy to now know her! Then there is Adam, quite impressive as well! He too is a Lt in the Marines and has also served in Iraq. Actually that is where there union began!

With that all said let me first thank them both for graciously serving our country! Thank you :)

Now on to their big day. it was August 15th 2009 and wow it was a BEAUTIFUL day! Dani, her mother, MIL and I selected her gown from Betsy Robinson and it was a perfect fit! Dani the marine was a stunning bride!

I had truly been awaiting this wedding all year because Dani fell in love w/ a design that I had been dying to sink my teeth into. Beyond Imaginations out did themselves on this one. On 6 of our reception tables we had 4 ft trees :) the extra touch was that the designers actually carved a huge banana leave and cascaded it on the outside of the vase, it was unreal. They also used asparagus to add life and texture to another tables trio of delight!! Everywhere you looked was a feast for your eyes. I am always beaming when a bride sees her reception space, but this day I was over the moon!!



We also had a GORG cake by Clara's Designer Cakes. The four tiered damask stenciled treat, was accented w/ a pair of labybug bride & groom. You see the bride lost her best friend a few years back and she loved ladybugs. So I asked Clara to create a ladybug out of gumpaste as a surprise. I had no clue she would take the extra step and create cute lil bride & groom ladybugs. It was a tearful surprise for Dani and I am certain her BF was smiling.



Thanks to Jeff of My Deejays, for rocking the house :) Also the awesome staff of Carriage House Catering for a FAB job!
