Christina and Brandon met through mutual friends at a New Year\u2019s Eve party, and were man and wife on Sunday, November 13, 2016.<\/p>\n

Christina modeled a sweetheart cut wedding gown with a beaded bodice and a mermaid hem, complete with floor-length veil. She stood on nude-colored, bedazzled peep-toe heels, and held a hand-tied bouquet of white roses with plenty of greenery and a long, dusty mint ribbon. Her four bridesmaids wore floor-length navy gowns with beaded, halter cut tops.<\/p>\n

Brandon sported dove-gray trousers and vest with a navy blazer, and a navy-colored necktie in a paisley print. A light pink, plush rose ornamented his lapel, and a dove-gray pocket square edged out of his jacket. His four groomsmen wore dove gray suits with navy vests and paisley ties, all complete with light pink roses on their lapels and a navy pocket square.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

The wedding ceremony was held at the end of a white carpet flanked with white rose petals. It started out with a story about their proposal, and it was said, \u201cThey are God\u2019s gift to each other\u201d and \u201cLove is the creator of their favorite memories.\u201d The bride and groom gave their mothers roses as thanks, and there was a reading from Corinthians.<\/p>\n

Dinner later started with a mixed greens salad with vinaigrette, followed by sliced beef tenderloin or chicken breast with twice baked potatoes and vegetables. The three-tiered wedding cake came with a pink-colored base made to look like roses, a monogrammed middle tier with \u201cCYB,\u201d and a top tier with fondant made to look like dangling pearls and pink roses.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

During toasts, a bridesmaid, Brandon\u2019s sister, talked about how warm and caring Christina is, and how well she will fit into the family. P.J., the Best Man and Christina\u2019s brother, mildly teased the bride, but said she sets an example for him, and they share lots of laughs with the groom.<\/p>\n

Christina and Brandon\u2019s traditional First Dance was to \u201cA Thousand Years\u201d by Christina Perri. Guests were also treated to personalized rolls of mints as favors reading \u201cMint to Be.\u201d<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>
<\/a>\n

The new couple left under the signature sparkler farewell. We wish Christina and Brandon a wonderful lifetime together.<\/p>\n
