Karen & Elias – November 26, 2011 – Annunciation Catholic Church & Hilton Orlando/Altamonte Springs
Let me start by saying that this Thanksgiving wedding was absolutely perfect in every way. It was filled with so much family, endless love and tons of fun! The traditional Catholic ceremony with some Filipino touches was elegant, and the reception that followed was flawless.
The autumn colors of brown, gold, red & orange filled the room beautifully in different aspects- such a perfect decor for just two days after Thanksgiving! The accent of elegance was again reflected with the dramatic fabric draping from the tall ceilings of the ballroom. The uplighting around the room added a certain sense of romance once the house lights were dimmed, reflecting only the very best of this couple. With the large head table raised at the edge of the dance floor, all of the bridal party was able to observe their friends and family at the rest of the guest tables.
I must admit that every single one of the heartfelt & emotional speeches given during this reception brought tears to my eyes. This family had a tough year, enduring many hardships and were just lucky to be able to celebrate this joyous occasion together all in one place. The timing was perfect with the holiday season upon them. They showed me that love always prevails and will always help you find your way!
Karen & Elias, we were THANKFUL to be a part of your beautiful wedding. Thank you and your loving family for letting us take part in your special day! Best of luck, love & happiness in your future life together!
