John and Sarah

John and Sarah were introduced by mutual friends under the sunny skies of a hot Florida day. John was serving in the military and Sarah’s parents had been in the military during her teenage years so when he asked her to marry him and live near his base she went happily.

A fun loving and free spirited couple, John and Sarah wanted a happy,  festive wedding with lots of bright sunshiny color and big orange and fuchsia Gerbera daisies on the tabletops at the reception. Bringing their two large families together and making a huge celebration was their main focus.

They married in a traditional Christian ceremony in a beautiful church with large stained glass windows and dark wood pews. Light shone down on Sarah’s six attendants bringing to life their dreamy tangerine gowns and lighting up the festive tulle wrapped around every other pew end. John’s groomsmen looked dashing in their bowler hats and black tuxedos, a perfect accent for each of the lovely maids.

At the reception a long table held all manner of pink, and orange candies in a serve yourself candy bar. Guests of every age enjoyed making their way past that table often and slipping their favorite candies into glassine envelopes with specially printed seals. A celebratory time was had by all as dancing, dining and much merriment went on into the wee hours. Even the children danced the night away! Every table held the cherished Gerber daisies that Sarah longed for and the happy bride and groom had the party of their lifetime.
