His groomsmen matched his attire. Alvin\u2019s lapel was pinned with a white lily, and the groomsmen lapels were adorned in succulents.<\/p>\n<p>During their indoor ceremony, a live musicians performed songs from Christian music. The pastor said a prayer before the Father of the Bride gave Kim to Alvin. Kim and Alvin wrote and recited their own vows, which was followed by the pastor saying how rings are a symbol for eternity and are never ending.<\/p>\n<p>Dinner started with appetizers and desserts at the first reception. Later, the main course consisted of a small house salad, rigatoni in creamy pesto, chicken marsala, Italian vegetables, and housemade bread. The three-tiered square wedding cake was coated in white fondant with black ribbon at the base of each tier. There were touches of mint on the top and bottom layer, and the whole thing came topped with a silver \u201cK\u201d for Kosar.<\/p>\n<p>A toast from Alvin\u2019s side of the family talked about their past and present.

There were also cheers to the groom, and cheers to the bride.<\/p>\n<p>Kim and Alvin\u2019s First Dance was to \u201cThe Day Before You.\u201d The new couple also left under a shower of red and white rose petals, and we wish them all the best.<\/p>\n<p>Photography by: <a href=\"http:\/\/thegracefulstories.com\">Amy E.
