Falling in Love

This weekend I got to witness the marriage of Melanie and Mark Dey.  After knowing each other for numerous years, they were able to finally tie the knot on such a beautiful day.  The wedding ceremony encompassed numerous members of their families with her father being the presider.  It was held in a small church with her family and friends in attendance.  Melanie’s dress was gorgeous, and you could tell she was truly happy marrying Mark.  Overall, the ceremony was short and sweet.   The theme revolved around the season of fall and falling in love.  I thought that theme fit in perfectly to the season, as well as describing their relationship.

The reception followed the wedding at a nearby hall.  It was very simple, but worked well with the theme and personalities of the wedding couple.  Dinner was buffet style and was delicious.  Foods ranged from roast beef to chicken paprikash.  After dinner, toasts were said and a slideshow of the couple was shown.  The evening concluded with the cutting of the cake, and the couple thanking everyone for their attendance.  Overall, the wedding and reception was beautifully put together.  Everyone seemed happy and you could tell there was a connection between the bride and groom.

Personally, I am so happy that I got the opportunity to come home for a weekend to participate in the event.  Over this past summer, I had the privilege of getting to know Melanie and Mark a little bit more.  They are both genuine individuals who truly care about each other.  In addition, they are always smiling and you can tell they have a strong foundation.  Overall, I would have to say the day was success, and I am looking forward to seeing where life takes them.
