Hope’s mother was so pleased to say “Yes!” when Erik walked into her office one day to ask for her daughter’s hand in marriage. Everyone knew that Hope and Erik were meant to be together since the day they met at Cold Stone Creamery. It became official at Villa Siena on February 25, 2012. This event was sure to be a special day because Hope has been a coordinator here at Villa Siena for several years!! This day lived up to its potential and much more! Hope walked down an aisle covered in gorgeous white rose petals after Sam, Chloe and Ellie, the flower girls, carried down an adorable sign saying “Here Comes the Bride.” Hope looked unbelievably gorgeous in her strapless mermaid style wedding gown with yards of ruffles on the bottom. Hope’s father and her step-father both had the honor of escorting her down the aisle. Very sweet! Erik was dashing in his all black tux. The color scheme was formal and fabulous with black, green and white. During the ceremony, the officiant made note that “All good relationships start with ice cream!” After the ceremony, guests enjoyed the delicious hors d’oeuvres while creating their own fun and creative mad lib messages to Hope and Erik! Once cocktail hour was finished the bridal party made their grand entrance to “Howlin’ For You” by The Black Keys, which really got the party started! After a delicious dinner, everyone a sweet treat with the gelato bar! A touching speech by Hope’s mother reminded us all that marriage is supposed to be hard because you are marrying your best friend, and that is truly what Erik and Hope are! Congratulations Hope and Erik, we wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
