Jin Ju was a picturesque bride as her mother helped her into her wedding dress July 13, 2014. She chose a timeless gown that incorporated a fitted lace bodice with silver beaded belt and a full skirt of tulle, lending the bride an ethereal look. The dress closed in back with a keyhole opening of lace. For the ceremony, the bride wore a tiara and veil with pearl drop earrings. The groom, Tom, chose a black tuxedo with traditional black bow-tie, making the couple seem as if they were stepping off the pages of a magazine.
The bridal bouquet brought together whites, pinks and magenta in an assortment of flowers. The bridesmaids carried bouquets of magenta with grey knee-length dresses. The groomsmen were in black tuxedos with grey ties with a single magenta rose in the lapel.
The couple enjoyed an indoor ceremony where the officiant offered words of advice for the couple “with love we truly begin to live. Love is always looking for the beautiful in the other and not only looking for the right partner, but being the right partner.” The couple lit a unity candle to bring their two lives together as one. Jin Ju’s brother later reiterated the sentiment when he said “you two are perfect for each other. Here’s to starting new traditions with two families as one.” The blessings offered to the couple included the maid of honor’s wish that they always find the good in every situation – tonight and forever.
The first dance was a female cover of All of Me, followed by the father/daughter dance to My Little Girl by Tim McGraw and the mother/son dance to In My Life by the Beatles.
Guests were treated to fun with a scavenger hunt and the bridesmaids were given light-up rings for the reception.
A signature Villa Siena sparkler farewell sent the couple on their way.
Congratulations Jin Ju and Tom. May your lives together grow as a tree from a seed, stronger each year. We wish you the best.
