I had such a great time with this beautiful, fun loving couple! Their spirit and love for each other and everyone around them was infectious. They were surrounded by an amazing group of friends and family (and LOTS of little ones!) and it made for an absolutely lovely day. Melissa was stunning in her retro-inspired look. I was totally in love with her vintage gold clutch! So fabulous. She had so many little details that were uniquely her and made her look extra special. Melissa's sister Arianna did an amazing job on her makeup while Melanie Bryant made the rest of the girls look fantastic. Hair was done by Jodie Baur, and her beautiful flowers were done by Creations by Fran in Midland Park. They were beautiful and the ribbon wrapping on Melissa's bouquet was amazing! After a lovely ceremony with music by friends Chris and Matt along with Greg Durozel and Akiko Kobayashi, and photos in the gardens of Il Tulipano we moved upstairs to a fun party full of surprises. Melissa surprised Chris with a performance of "At Last" that made me tear up, and later in the day Chris's brother and their friends brought their band back together for a hysterical performance that had everyone on their feet. Party was complete with delicious cupcakes made by Kristi McArdle on a tower that Melissa made herself! Pretty amazing.

So. Much. Fun!

Congratulations Chris and Melissa! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness.
