Kimmie and Jake

What a perfect day Saturday for a wedding; course all our “wedding days” are perfect for our couples!  And we just love seeing how each couple we work with makes their wedding day “their” wedding day.  And this one was certainly no exception.

Kimmie is Filipino so they incorporated some Filipino customs throughout the day such as the “cord and veil” ceremony during their Mass.  A special square veil is pinned to the bride’s hair and then draped over the groom’s shoulder and represents everything and everyone who will protect them, their home and their families.  The cord is a long rosary in the shape of a figure 8 that goes over the veil and around the wedding couple’s shoulders and is a symbol of their intimate union and a sign of their bond to each other, and their inseparable unity.

Kimmie surprised Jake with golf carts to take the wedding party out and about VT’s campus for pictures after the ceremony and then on to the reception location.  And we managed to pull off that surprise against some pretty amazing odds but we covered it all beautifully and a LOT of people were involved in that one to keep that surprise from him until the last minute!  And it worked!

Then on to the cocktail hour and reception where everyone had a blast and danced the night away!  Including one said wedding planner here and yep, I admit it!  In addition, stations of amazing food, florals, cake, photo booth, yard games, and décor all combined to create the perfect evening for the happy couple!
