Crystal looked beautiful in a strapless gown with fitted bodice and ruffled skirt. Her
\nhair was done in loose curls with fresh flowers in the back. She carried a bouquet of pale pink roses and orchids. As she walked down the aisle, all heads turned. Her bridesmaids stood by her side for the ceremony in pink dresses, each individually styled. Mike wore a grey tuxedo.<\/p>\n

Their wedding day was filled with sweet sentiments, including an invitation for couples that came with their significant others to reaffirm their vows. The officiant asked them to hold hands before giving the two some advice which included \u2018love each other for who you are and not who you would like the other to be.\u2019

The couple took to the dance floor for Dustin Lynch\u2019s Cowboys and Angels<\/i> for their first dance as husband and wife. After that, Crystal and her father danced to My Little Girl<\/i> by Tim McGraw and then spiced it up with Lady Gaga\u2019s Poker Face. <\/i>They were followed by Mike and his mother dancing to My Wish<\/i> by Rascal Flatts.<\/p>\n

For table numbers the couple used words, such as Love <\/i>and Kiss, <\/i>to illustrate the different steps taken in their relationship and designate where people would sit. There was a photo booth for guests to create memories in.<\/p>\n\"_MG_9483\"<\/a>\n

The wedding cake was a lemon curd and raspberry filled white cake as well as a chocolate cake filled with chocolate ganache. Favors were pink M&Ms that were personalized with the couple\u2019s name. They shared a traditional Villa Siena sparkler farewell as the night wound down.<\/p>\n
