Karrie & Jeff, two of Troy’s Finest, got married in September in - you guessed it - Troy! The ceremony took place at St. Augustine’s where huge flower “K” & “J” initials greeted the guests on the church doors. The ceremony got off to a somewhat late start, prompting the priest to talk about some instances where a bride or groom was left at the altar in his sermon - not that it was a concern here, he was just sayin’.
Instead of a limo, the bridal party hopped on a trolley and headed to the reception at the Franklin Plaza. It was our 5th wedding there this year and a great way to end the season at this venue (we’ll be back in February though!). We also got to work with other awesome vendors - photographer Christina Primero and her assistant, Kat (who we worked with again two weeks later), and DJ Fernando from The Piano Man’s DJ Productions (who rocked another wedding with us again three weeks later).
At the reception, we got to see a former bride & groom and two of the wildest cake in the face smashes of the year. Karrie did a smash and throw and Jeff countered with a smooth smash that almost looked unexpected. (Note to couples - make sure you both agree to this before you try it yourselves - I’ve seen it go wrong before). The rest of the night was followed by dancing and singing, yummy apple crisp dessert served in addition to the cake, a late evening snack of sliders and fries, and more dancing - it was a great crowd.
Though I didn’t get to see her that day, I’d like to make a special mention of Tina from Flawless by Tina. Karrie looked absolutely beautiful - even after the cake in the face.
Here is Karrie & Jeff’s highlight video from their September 2009 wedding. Feel free to leave comments for the happy couple!
