Robert and Diana!
What a treat to help friends plan the day of their dreams! A little Background: I first met Bob years ago when he was my husband’s boss. Bob lived in New Jersey and would travel here frequently for work. About 3 years ago, he moved to Canton, Ohio and although my husband had moved on to another company by then, we remained in touch. Bob had a girlfriend, who also lived in New Jersey…Diana! Diana is a bundle of energy and a wealth of knowledge. We became fast friends! Diana moved to Canton and the wedding planning began!
Bob and Diana wanted a small, intimate wedding for their IMMEDIATE Family only! So that is exactly what they got! The guestlist consisted of their children and dates, and a few very close family members – 15 people in all! We planned an intimate wedding ceremony in their living room, followed by a wine tasting cocktail hour.
The guests then moved into a completely transformed family room for a six course meal prepared by Chef Joe Pileggi. On the menu was a shrimp Amuse, a ravioli Appetizer, Insalata Caprese, Intermezzo Sorbet, chicken and filet entree, and of course wedding cake!
After dinner, the party continued with a casino night!
Everyone had a wonderful time and most importantly, Bob and Diana radiated with happiness!
Because Bob and Diana were friends of mine, I offered to do some things that I normally don’t get my hands into – flower arrangement and photography! I had a great time taking pictures for them…but I have a whole new respect for the photographers that I hire…that is pressure! I think I captured some good shots though…here are a couple!
