December 1, 2012 marked the day of Alissa and Freddy\u2019s wedding ceremony and reception at Villa Siena. The villa was beautifully decorated with a custom arch adorned with greenery, red roses and white hydrangeas. The white runner, normally only embellished with rose petals had the additional touch of a custom monogram that included the names of the bride and the groom and the first letter of the groom\u2019s last name made from an elaborate collection of crystals.<\/p>\n

Sometimes love is predestined, despite the paths life takes you on.\u00a0 Alissa and Freddy were high school sweethearts. The love they felt then blossomed into an adult love and the wedding followed. Alissa was a picture-perfect bride with a fitted bodice to her gown that fell into a gathered skirt. Below the skirt was a pair of black patent stilettos. The bride wore her hair in a half up-do with diamond drop earrings. The bridesmaids wore black dresses and carried red bouquets. Red berries finished the bride\u2019s floral arrangement along with a few crystals nestled into the heart of the roses. The bouquet was wrapped with satin and decorated with crystals. The bridesmaid\u2019s flowers were wrapped with black satin and had a diamond brooch in each one.<\/p>\n

Freddy was dashing in a black tuxedo with an ivory vest, black shirt and tie. The groomsmen all wore black ties, black shirts and black vests with roses in the lapel. Freddy\u2019s children played an integral role in the wedding ceremony as attendants. When the parents gave vows, they also gave vows to the boys and the boys to the parents. However, instead of platinum rings, the boys received ring pops.<\/p>\n

For the reception, the arch was moved inside and set behind the couple\u2019s table and a candelabra set atop. The groom\u2019s children sat on either side of the bride and groom for dinner. On the wall, the couple\u2019s name appeared in lights. Custom vintage frames with photos of the couple and quotes were set around the reception area. Exquisite floral displays sat upon the tables with ornaments that were intended as favors hanging from the display. At the bottom of each ornament a framed sign proclaimed \u2018true love is never ending.\u2019<\/p>\n

For the first dance two songs were played, I Love the Way You Love Me<\/em> by John Michael Montgomery and Amazed <\/em>by Lonestar. At the end of the night after a four tiered white cake with black ribbon was served, the couple enjoyed a traditional sparkler farewell. The bridesmaids spelled out LOVE with sparklers before the couple was on their way to their new life together. Congratulations Alissa and Freddy. We wish you the best!<\/p>\n
