Dear future Wedding couples,
Please be as awesome as Bill and Kacey.
Thank you.

“Pink is youthful, fun, and exciting! Hot pink is sensual and passionate without being too aggressive.  It is the color of joy and happiness…”  which easily set the tone for the incredible celebration of Bill & Kacey’s Wedding day.  Just look at that sky for starters….perfectly sunny blue skies with a warm breeze…so happy it was an outside ceremony.

I made my way upstairs and as I entered the brides room, I was immediately greeted by smiling faces and hot pink accessories.  We were gonna have FUN today!  Kacey’s two little girls were SO cute and they loved being all dressed up and helping out.

Kacey had two veils…this long flowing one for the ceremony, and then a shorter sparklier one for the reception.

Glowing, radiant, beautiful bride

Rose petals!

Kacey was escorted by her two dads…so sweet!

Bill?  Cry?  never.     (now that’s a reaction to a beautiful bride)  (and p.s.  I cried during their hand written vows…it was an extremely emotional ceremony filled with lots and lots of love)

There was a reading that I’d never heard before…but it’s so beautiful I will never forget it:

“These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and full of love for you.
These are the hands that are holding yours on your Wedding day as you promise to love each other today, tomorrow and forever.
These are the hands that will work along side yours as together you build your future.

These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes: tears of sorrow and tears of joy.
These are the hands that will passionately love you and cherish you through the years and with the slightest touch will comfort you like no other.
These are the hands that will hold you when fear or grief wracks your mind.
These are the hands that will hold your children in tender love, soothing them through illness and hurt, supporting and encouraging them along the way, and knowing when it is time to let go.
These are the hands that will help you to hold your family as one.
These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it.
And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.”

Their daughters brought out the rings; in personally decorated boxes

There was another reading, and a beautiful song played by the minister on guitar…everything was so special and carefully thought out.  Congratulations Mr. & Mrs.!

How beautiful are their daughters…they’re so lucky to have each other.

We took a limo bus over to the Honeoye Falls for lots and lots of group pictures…and more hot pink…everywhere!
The newlyweds!

Champagne toasts

The Bridal Party

Have you ever been to a Wedding reception where the guests were asked to wear a color theme?  What a fun-tastic idea!!!

The happy (and adorable) family

How sweet are these two?  It was a perfect blend of romance, fun, and festivities!

Gazing up at her new husband

That’s right folks….hot pink socks and hot pink shoes!

Once we got back to the Rabbit Room, I was immediately at ease.  I absolutely love it in there…I want to move in.  The stone walls, wooden beams, and low lighting make it the perfect little escape.

Wine wedding favors

This was something new for me too!  Their monogram on a mirror!!

Yup, you read that correctly….’chicken wings’!

No one knows grazing stations like The Rabbit Room…and even something as simple as chicken wings and macaroni salad are gourmet here…SOOO good.  Come for dinner!

There’s nothing cuter than little girls…especially ones wearing hot pink bows and fingernails!

We snuck a few moments outside while everyone was mingling and grazing…I love this triptych

These girls got that party S.T.A.R.T.E.D!!    -  “A Party in the USA”- Miley Cyrus;  was the opener for their reception and it went on all through the night…SO much fun!
“So I put my hands up, they’re playin’ my song, I know I’m gonna be ok…it’s a party in the U.S.A.”

oh, to be a kid again!

Congratulations Kacey & Bill!  Thank you for choosing me, believing in me, and for appreciating my vision through your celebration.  I Wish you a lifetime filled with happiness…and may you always be tickled pink
