Melita & Steve were married on a sunny (but chilly) day in October. The ceremony took place at St. Mary’s Church in Coxsackie where Melita walked down the aisle with her mother and brother while Steve anxiously waited for her at the altar with his best man/nephew. A couple of tissues later, they were pronounced husband and wife and headed to Birch Hill to celebrate. Once there, I tagged along with Christina Primero on the photoshoot with the bridal party - which was quick, but not quick enough for the bridesmaids in their short, strapless dresses. :) Luckily the warm limo was standing by waiting for them. Once we made our way inside, DJ Adam Conway of Conway Entertainment announced the newlyweds and got the party started.
After the best man’s toast Melita and Steve did the Pants in the Family Toast - which Melita won, of course. They did the Anniversary Dance and it was amazing to see the number of couples still out on the dance floor as they called off 30 years, 35 years, etc. At the 50 year mark there were still two couples dancing. Steve’s parents ended up being the longest married couple - with 55 years under their belts and still counting. Wow!
Here is Melita & Steve’s highlight video from their October 2009 wedding. Feel free to leave comments for the happy couple.
