Description of the Wedding (by the bride):
How did you meet?
We met through my (Lindsay’s) cousin who went to High School with Mark. Both my parents and Mark went to the same high school which I always thought was special. Go Yellow Jackets!
How was the romantic proposal?
Not romantic at all! Ha! Mark was a little overserved the night before and totally ruined the surprise. But to be honest, I loved the way it played out. He has never been able to keep a secret so it was perfect and true to his character.
What was your inspiration for your wedding theme/colors and how did you work with the Bliss Events team to incorporate it?
Acre is so beautiful that you don’t need much more aesthetic. I trolled Acre’s, Bliss Events And other Local wedding planner’s Instagram pages to find inspiration. It turned out to be a very romantic theme, which is ironic because I would not consider ourselves Romantics. We both love humor! We got a sneak peek at the reception area before our guests arrived and it took my breath away. The Bliss Events team nailed it!
How was the planning process?
Easy. So many of my friends would tell me I didn’t seem stressed and I really wasn’t. Bonnie and her team knew the venue and the hotel so well. She works behind the scenes so you don’t get stressed and comes up with solutions to every problem. She also selected the DJ, Florist and Transportation, which made my life easier. The less options, the better!
Do you have any special or memorable moments from your wedding day that you’d like to share?
I put Mark’s ring on the wrong hand, for one! My mom and aunts danced around me like the yia-yia sisterhood, I got a LOT of lap dances and the men were dancing shirtless by the end of the night. It was a party! There were other memorable moments throughout the weekend, but I really can’t share those publicly ;)
