Erin & Steve - June 13, 2009

We really enjoyed our meetings with Erin & Steve, their excitement for their wedding was contagious. Steve is so funny and really into music, he and Glenn really hit it off! Erin is so nice and together they really have a "glow" about them. It certainly showed last night - it was definitely a case of lighting up the room!

The reception was held at the Casino in Roger Williams Park, with the ceremony at the Bandstand outside. Providing the music, I had a great view of the ceremony. First, four Little bell ringers walked down the aisle, heralding the start of the ceremony. Then the flower girls & ring bearer, and next the bridesmaids walking down the long stairway to "Ode To Joy". Next, Erin appeared at the top of the stairs, and walked down to "Canon in D". The whole thing was picture perfect!

After the ceremony, everyone went up to the Casino for cocktails and appetizers on the first floor. Then, it was up to the second floor for introductions, dinner and dancing. It was all about family and friends, and being together - the best type of reception. All ages danced, to all types of music from oldies to Top 40.

Flowers were by Golden Gate, such pretty pink centerpieces and bouquets (that I forgot to get on film!). Even the little vases on the cocktail tables were perfect. Catering was by Atomic Catering, and Mark and staff were so nice to work with. Steve told us to try the home-made potato chips and I did not forget! Yum! The entire dinner was wonderful! We can't wait to see some video footage from John at Wedding Stories and a photos by David Bibeault, whose work is always wonderful.
