Brandon\u2019s love of the Packers was clear as he wore Green Bay Packer socks. What he didn\u2019t know was that Alison had a few surprises for him, including a green and gold garter and a wedding cake topper with personalized figures of the bride and groom with a cheesehead on the groom. Even the table numbers were chosen after Green Bay Packers\u2019 players and a Green Bay pen was used to sign the marriage license.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/382.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8336\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/382-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"382\" width=\"499\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>\n<p>The couple originally met through Brandon\u2019s roommate who took Alison to watch Brandon\u2019s band perform. The couple made a connection and the rest was history.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/120.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/120-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"120\" width=\"333\" height=\"499\" \/><\/a>\n<p>For her wedding day, the bride was picture perfect in a dress from David\u2019s bridal with a fitted beaded bodice and full tulle skirt. Caplet sleeves and an open back revealed the bride\u2019s tattoo. Alison chose a bouquet of red and orange roses and peonies. Her bridesmaids toasted before the ceremony with wine glasses with bridesmaids\u2019 dresses on them and the bridesmaids\u2019 name. While the bridesmaids wore dresses of teal, two styles of dress were split between the four bridesmaids. The groomsmen wore black tuxedos with black vests and teal ties while the groom chose a black tuxedo with white vest, white shirt and tie. Each of Brandon\u2019s groomsmen received an engraved flask. During the wedding ceremony a friend read a passage about what marriage is. The pastor for the ceremony was the same pastor the bride grew up with. Then black and white sand were poured into a glass box with two entwined hearts and the couple\u2019s names and date of marriage on them.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/445.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/445-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"445\" width=\"499\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a>\n<p>During the speeches the best man talked about the similarities between the two including how they both married a redhead. The best man finished his speech with a \u2018team drink,\u2019 and a cheers to the couple. The maid of honor spoke of how she felt she had known Ali all her life and could always count on Ali to be there for her. Then Alison\u2019s father got more than a few laughs when he told the guests his daughter got smarter after a surgery where she got a pint of his blood.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/451.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8339\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasiena.cc\/wedding-talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/451-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"451\" width=\"504\" height=\"336\" \/><\/a>\n<p>The first dance was to <em>Lucky <\/em>by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat and was followed by <em>Stealing Cinderella <\/em>as the father and daughter dance.<\/p>\n<p>Dancing was followed by food and cake including a four-tier white fondant cake with square tiers alternating with round tiers. Instead of traditional favors the couple donated money in each guest\u2019s name. Congratulations Alison and Brandon. Love, like the Green Bay Packers\u2019 successes depends on dedication, understanding and passion.
