I think that Samantha & Dan got the most humid day of the year, I remember it being almost 50 with the humidity! We had such a great day with them, from the bride’s house to the reception! They had amazing details including hand-made bouquets made by the Bride’s mom and a very chic vintage 1940’s Packard. I love when couples get a car for themselves to enjoy. To have that alone time as husband & wife for the first time is special. Congrats to Samantha & Dan on a beautiful wedding and I wish them a very happy marriage!

What are you favorite memories of your wedding day?We both thought it was hard to pick between them because they were all so special.
Bride: Being surrounded by family and friends at our ceremony & reception
Groom: The ceremony and leaving in a 1940s Packard
Best wedding related decision: Making brooch bouquets out of clear Swarovski brooches
Favourite details: SMARTboard interactive guest seating chart & 1940s Packard for transportation
Advice for future brides & grooms: Start diy projects in advance so you aren’t so stressed out at the end!
Would you change anything if you could do it all over again? Start projects sooner & not worry so much!
Best surprise of the day: When the ring bearer forgot to give the ring to the Best Man and he came running up during the ceremony. It was very cute!
Favorite HRM picture from the day (and why?): It’s so hard to pick because they are all so nice! We like the picture with the car because it shows our ‘just married’ sign. We like the picture under the tree with Dan in his top hat. We like our group pictures especially the ones outside the front gate of Eldon House, and the family ones at the hall.
Anything else you’d like to add: We appreciated Niki keeping us on track throughout the day and helping direct us to create great pictures!
