September 7, 2012 celebrated the love of Jennifer and Kevin. The couple, which met on e-harmony, joined us at Villa Siena for an indoor ceremony in the Chianciano room. The altar was adorned with a red floral arrangement flanked by red and black candles on either side. At each end of the altar stood handmade candles, a gift from the maid of honor. Candelabras on each side of the fireplace were lit with white candles that cast a romantic glow over the celebration.
Jennifer and Kevin’s daughters walked down the aisle to start the ceremony. Jennifer’s daughter wore a white dress to match her mother’s while Kevin’s daughter wore a black dress with a red rose at the side of the sweeping skirt to match her father’s black tuxedo. Kevin chose a white shirt with white tie and a red rose in his lapel. The groomsmen wore black tuxedos also with red roses in their lapels.
The bridal party made a statement in black strapless dresses with red rose bouquets and bright red shoes. Jennifer looked beautiful in a strapless gown with beaded detailing across the bodice that edged the top of the skirt. She wore a feather fascinator in her hair and a traditional veil.
To symbolize the unity of their new family, Jennifer, Kevin and their daughters poured red and black sand into a single container. After the ceremony, the entire family walked down the aisle.
The reception was fantastic with a guest sign-in book. On the table were pictures of the bride and groom’s parents when they were young. There was also a picture collage of Jennifer and Kevin on a stand.
For the first dance, the couple chose Just Breathe by Pearl Jam. A great song choice. Then the bride’s sister sang You’ve Got a Way by Shania Twain.
The entire day was the perfect celebration of love. Congratulations on your wedding, Jennifer and Kevin. We wish you all the best.
