Ariel and Reuben met through mutual friends who had a feeling the couple would make a perfect match. They did. They were married May 3, 2014 at Villa Siena.

As guests were ushered to their seats, a harpist played. The programs for the ceremony doubled as fans for guests.

The groom and groomsmen took their places for the start of the ceremony. The groom wore a black tuxedo with black bow-tie and black Converse sneakers. His groomsmen wore the same.

Balls of red roses hung from the ends of each aisle, while the contrast of red petals against the fountain was stunning. A white runner with red rose petals awaited the bride. As the processional began, bridesmaids in grey chiffon dresses made their way down the aisle. All eyes were on Ariel as she moved to take her place by her husband. She wore a fitted lace gown with mermaid flair. Her hair was worn down with a tiara. Red crystal shoes were worn to match the bouquet of garnet roses.

During the ceremony, the bride and groom poured black and white sand together to mark the start of their lives as one.

When the recessional began, the harpist played again. During the ceremony the couple’s name shone in lights on the wall. Tables were decorated with red roses and baby’s breath. A photobooth was set up for guests to enjoy.

I Cross My Heart by George Strait played for the couple’s first dance followed by the father/daughter dance to The Way You Look Tonight by Frank Sinatra and the mother/son dance to How Sweet It Is. Favors were Jordan Almonds.

A four-tiered cake was tied with silver ribbon and adorned with fresh red. The couple’s last name was displayed on top of the cake.

Congratulations Ariel and Reuben. May your future have limitless horizons. We wish you the best.
