What a romantic day for a wedding at Villa Siena! On February 18, 2012, Kristen and Matt said their vows to one another with their closest friends and family there supporting them. When guests arrived, they were asked to share a finger or thumb print along with their signature on a lovely hand drawn tree. The resulting artwork will always remind Kristen and Matt of those who helped them celebrate their wedding. What an imaginative way to remember everyone! During the outdoor ceremony, Lydia and Gwen, the flower girls, floated down the aisle in their purple dresses bringing a smile to each guests face. Everyone was in awe when Kristen appeared in her gorgeous white strapless gown. After enjoying cocktail hour, everyone gathered in the ballroom to start the party. The bridal party was announced in to the song “Sexy and I Know it”, and boy did they show us just how sexy they are with some pretty impressive dance moves! Kristen and Matt shared in their first dance to the timeless classic “Hallelujah”. Both the father of the groom, who was also the best man, and the sister of the bride, shared such touching toasts. Matt himself gave a toast to all the men and women who are or have ever served in the armed forces, a perfect way to honor his country and remember his time in the military. After dinner and a night of dancing, the DJ distributed red plastic cups and encouraged everyone to dance to the song “Red Solo Cup” as a toast to the bride and groom. The night was filled with good times, and love! We are so happy to have celebrated with Kristen and Matt. We wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
