Troy couples rock! And Vickie & Sidney proved it to me once again (plus they’re fellow South Carolina fans, so you can’t go wrong there!).
Vickie’s day started at her parent’s house where she and her bridesmaids (including 3 sisters) got ready. There was laughter and tears and a house full of family by the time we were ready to head to the ceremony at St. Joseph’s in Troy. Before we left, Sidney sent over a gift for Vickie to open - a gorgeous new ring (you should be able to catch a glimpse of it in the video). Once at the church, we got off to a quick start, which was followed by a couple of readings (one was in Arabic), the vows, the kiss, and high-fives between Sidney and all of his groomsmen.
After the ceremony, we hung out with Casey Connell Photography while they did some family photos at the church and then headed to Wolfert’s Roost to finish up the bridal party pix. This was our first time working with them and hope we get the opportunity to do so again - they were awesome. (Check out the photos on their blog - the Nov 03 post). When we made it upstairs to the reception room, we met up with Fernando from Pianoman DJ (more awesomeness) who introduced the new Mr. and Mrs. and got the crowd to their feet. At the end of dinner Vickie and Sidney arranged to entertain their guests with a belly dancer who got everyone on the dance floor and set the tone for the night. FotoMagic was also on site providing guests with magnet keepsakes during the reception, and we got to hang out with a former and future bride & groom as well (love you guys - see you in February).
Here is Vickie & Sidney’s highlight video from their October 2009 wedding. Feel free to leave comments for the happy couple.
