Nicole glowed throughout the wedding day as she and her new husband exchanged private smiles. The bride wore a shimmering wedding gown with beaded bodice and full tulle skirt. Sheer caplet sleeves finished the dress. With her hair in a partial up-do, her diamond necklace shone. The sparkle didn\u2019t end with the dress as crystals were pinned in a bouquet of blush and mauve roses with white calla lilies. Tucked under her dress were silver crystal encrusted heels. At Nicole\u2019s side were her bridesmaids in ice blue gowns with empire waists and a floor-length hemline. All three of her flower girls wore diamond tiaras with dresses with full skirts. Andy opted for a black tuxedo with white shirt, vest and tie while his groomsmen wore silver vests and ties with their black tuxedos.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/SchWed-1167.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/SchWed-1167-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"SchWed-1167\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Decorations for the wedding included signs proclaiming the couple\u2019s love for one another such as <em>Once in a while in the middle of an ordinary life love gives us a fairy tale. <\/em>Or <em>I am y beloved\u2019s and my beloved is mine<\/em> \u2018Song of songs 6:3\u2019<\/p>\n<p>At the reception the maid of honor talked about times she had spent with the bride while the best man used his time to make fun of his best friend.
