Nikki + John at the Glen Manor, Part 2

Posted by Mariah, Photos by Mariah and Melissa:

Now that we've gotten the nuptials out of the way, it's time to get our photo on... We made our way around Glen Manor and even managed to find some time to stop and enjoy the view and do a little snuggling on the bridge.

Photo time is all too short though and pretty soon it was time to head in for the reception. I think this might be the part Nikki was looking forward to the most. She loves to dance! The proof is in the series of wacky dancing pix at the bottom of this post. We rounded out the night nicely with some blue light specials and voila! it was a wrap...

Making the party one to remember:

Hair: Touch Salon, Providence

Flowers: Stoneblossom
Catering and Cake: Blackstone Catering

Band: The Secret Service Band
Nikki's Gown: Paloma Blanca

A "snap! shout out" to the guitar player from the Secret Service Band for his unbridled enthusiasm and guitar trashing antics!

A second "snap shout out" to Nikki herself, because when I asked her if she liked the first post she said- "the hubs looks really handsome in his suit!" She's right, her hubs is really handsome! Hurray for handsome hubs and also the wives who appreciate them!

Nikki + John at the Glen Manor, Portsmouth RI... Part One

A word of caution: proceed at your own risk...

risk of extremley contagious happiness in the following photos!

Nikki is the kind of girl who is the life of the party, you can hear her laughing from the other side of the room and you can't help but smile to yourself. John is a big fan of laughter and happiness, which Nikki exudes, so a match was made! What a great match it is! Nikki and John prepared there own personal wedding vows secretly from one another and when they read them during the ceremony they words were virtually the same. Common threads like laughing, cherishing, traveling were woven through both.

My favorite line had to be from Nikki though who said "I love you and I would follow you anywhere." She said it with such conviction that you just know she means ANYWHERE, good or bad... forever. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.

I'm sure you are wondering who did the amazing florals... Stoneblossom

of course!

Amanda + Jeremy at Linden Place, Part Two

What do you say when the number one request of the bride and groom is a walk over to Dunkin Donuts after the wedding party pictures are over? You say "Peace, Linden Place! We're going to get an iced coffee!" Amanda and Jeremy abstained from two of their very favorite things in the world in order to look great for their wedding day. #1 Dunkin' Donuts Iced Coffee for whiter teeth #2 Donuts for skinny-ness. I happen to love Dunkin' Donuts so I don't know how they stayed away so long. And what's sweeter than an iced coffee? A surprise serenade from Jeremy in the middle of the reception! Not to mention cupcakes and candy! This is one sugar filled blog post!
