Ceremony details, please!

The ceremony was held at my childhood church, Saint Mary of the Annunnciation, in downtown Charleston. Having all of our best friends and family under one roof is a feeling I can never describe. Thomas and I didn’t do a first look, so I was most excited to see his reaction when he saw me for the first time walking down the aisle.

And the reception...

We had a cocktail hour throughout the home with an open bar and passed Hors d’oeuvres (Spicy tuna poke, lamb lollipop, tomato pie, chicken and waffle and burrata w/ fig jam) and then everyone moved out to the reception tent for first dances. After first dances, there were different food stations for people to choose from -Carbonaro, Braised Short Rib, Ricotta Gnocci, and Petite chicken breast. We did a cake cutting with family inside the house, where there was also a coffee bar set up for guests. Our cake was a vanilla cake with salty caramel buttercream. After dinner, our band, Atlanta Rhythm and Groove, had the people dancing all night! Thomas and I left in a white Rolls Royce that took us straight to the bar.

What song did you dance your first dance to?
