FromTaryn Stark Wyant Event Planning and Design… John and Susan met on eHarmony! Each of them came from different life experiences and felt as though they were wasting their time with the online dating ap, but thought it was worth a shot. Sue saw John’s bare-bones profile, but felt like the few things he had to say were in line with her views and decided to send him a smile. He responded with an invitation to get coffee. “Neither of us ever looked back,” Sue exclaims!
In describing her vision for the wedding day, Sue expresses, “We wanted to keep the ceremony simple and elegant. The most important part of our vision was to be surrounded by family and friends in a beautiful setting. We want it to feel like a relaxed celebration. We didn’t see this as the start of something, just a celebration to be able to share our happiness with our families and friends. We want them to feel like they were a part of an intimate celebration.”
Taryn Stark Wyant Event Planning and Design designed the day with ideals of romantic intimacy and comfortable celebration at the forefront. Hues of deep burgundy were offset with pale mauve. Brick fireplaces were filled with flickering pillar candles surrounded with swaying greenery, and family and friends converged easily to celebrate Sue and John’s commitment.
