True Love Scores a “Goal” with Emily and Eddy

When Emily and Eddy first met, they weren’t necessarily looking for love. They had joined a co-ed soccer team, and were looking to have some fun and get some exercise! But when true love comes along, you can’t let it pass by — and before long, it was clear that Emily and Eddy were meant to be.

These two sports lovers tied the knot in November at a lovely wedding with all their loved ones. The ceremony took place in our Plaza Toscana, which was decorated with bushels of beautiful white roses. The couple stuck to a classic black-and-white theme: bridesmaids wore long black dresses while Eddy and his groomsmen kept it classy in black tuxes. Emily was a vision in her lacy mermaid-style gown, which featured a sweetheart neckline and a long veil.

The wedding was officiated by Eddy’s brother, who brought a real sense of connection and family to the occasion. The couple took communication during the ceremony, exchanged vows and rings, and signed their marriage license before sealing the union with a kiss. Then, with Mr. and Mrs. Acquah officially wed, it was time to party!

To start the reception, Emily and Eddy shared their first dance to Chris Brown’s “With You.” Guests tore up the dance floor between enjoying appetizers of coconut shrimp, tortilla horns, and beef tenderloin wrapped in bacon. Then, guests supped on a spring mix salad with poppy seed dressing, fresh veggies and mashed potatoes, and entrees of chicken breasts with prosciutto and provolone or beef short ribs. For dessert, everyone enjoyed gelato from Frost Gelato — yum!

Emily and Eddy’s wedding was a beautiful, classy affair, and it showed us that true love can happen anywhere (even on the soccer field!). We loved getting to know this couple and we wish them many more happy years.
