it’s fair to say if matt and rachel have kids one day, they’re going to inherit quite a smile. there were plenty of smiles going around last sunday as the rain went away and the sun lit up a beautiful wedding day. the emotions were just as plentiful, as brandywine manor house played a perfect host to a barn wedding, with an energetic reception to follow.
at a typical wedding, the groom is normally being dragged out by the bride for a little dancing, at least for the slow songs. eric, on the other hand, set the tone on the dance floor. his moves were smooth and he kept a smile on his bride, laura’s face, as well as everyone else, all night. set on the delaware river on the ship, moshulu, the late summer night air made the perfect environment for eric and laura’s special day.
james and thanh had a marathon couple of days of celebration. saturday the couple went through a modified version of a cambodian wedding, which was filled with colors, music and different ceremonies. sunday, the celebration moved to philadelphia and the loews hotel. after a first look, we toured the city, hitting race street pier, penn treaty park, city hall and of course broad street. around 300 guests poured in for an elegant reception, highlighted by a trip to the top of the building, overlooking the city with the PSFS sign glowing brightly.
bryan and heather have a one-year old son, leo, who surely added a ton of joy on their wedding day, but also tacked on some extra preparation and coordination. but leo’s reaction when he realized it was his daddy standing up on the platform as he fulfilled his role as ring bearer was a priceless one, and likely made up for any added stress that came with the day. leo undoubtedly gets his smile from his parents who hardly stopped beaming all day. and i think now, finally, that first kiss has finally ended…
