Savvy Wedding Guest Perspective Part 2

by Julie on June 1, 2010

in Smart Life

Heather here, to finish up the Savvy Wedding recap continued from Part 1. Also, you can read more about Julie’s wedding planning on her wedding tab.

Everything about Julie and Dan’s wedding was a perfect representation of the two fabulous people I’ve come to know over the past several months.  The location was, in the only word I can think of to accurately describe it, EPIC.  The food was exactly what you would expect from a foodie like Julie.  The mood of the entire day was filled with a laid back charm and overflowing bounty of love.  Laughter and smiles were abounding from not only the bride and groom, not only the families, and wedding party, and friends from near and far – but also from the staff of the museum.  It was clear that these two wonderful people were surrounded by, and radiating themselves, pure true-love-inspired bliss on their special day.

The weather was nothing short of beautiful, and the roof top sculpture garden of the museum made the most gorgeous setting for such a special day!

It was clear that every guest at the wedding was more than happy to be in the presence of such a celebration.  The conversation flowed so naturally with each person we met while at the wedding (Ashley was my date!), and Julie and Dan had set out board games and cards for friends to enjoy at each of the tables inside.  Music especially chosen by the bride and groom was heard through out the venue, with space for dancing in the garden.

Details, details, details!

If you ask me, Julie and Dan’s wedding was a perfect match for their amazing personalities and sweet love for one another!

I am very excited to hear Julie’s recaps of the wedding weekend! Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs!!!

Just a reminder – Dan and Julie are driving to their apartment in Ithaca as I type this, so the bride will not see this recap until she arrives – welcome to your new home, wifey! ;)

Congrats on the Wedding!! So beautiful

You are going to love Ithaca!! (I’m the one who e-mailed raving about going to school there). Pleaseee get to-go sandwiches or bagels from college town bagels off the commons (n. aurora and e. seneca) and drive to Taughannock Falls and picnic. :)

LOVELY! Your dress was truly spectacular, Julie. I love your guest book, too. I remember looking at it when I came to Madison!

I could not be happier for you and Dan. I can’t wait to see what’s in store during your first year as newlyweds. Congratulations!
