Rachel & Eric were married at the Colonie Golf and Country Club. They wrote their own vows which both were funny and sweet and had more than a few people in tears (have a tissue handy when you watch). In between the ceremony and reception they headed outside for a few photos where it promptly started raining. Rachel and Eric were troopers though, toughing it out, raindrops and all - and after seeing the photos I’m sure they are glad they did.
At the reception, their bridal party and guests danced the night away and Eric performed one of the funniest garter removals ever. The third try is my favorite - I crack up every time I see it. It’s no wonder that Rachel is always laughing when she’s with Eric. So much fun!
Here is Rachel & Eric’s feature film. Enjoy - and feel free to leave comments for the happy couple!
Jaclyn & Adrian were married exactly three months to the day after Jaclyn was the maid of honor at her best friend’s wedding (Fallon & JJ). Jaclyn was radiant - and didn’t stop smiling all day long except, of course, when she was crying (first look, ceremony, toasts, father daughter dance, etc.). They were always happy tears though and that smile always followed. Some of my favorite parts of the day:
Jaclyn & Adrian’s first look
One of the bridesmaids pierced her own ears while they were getting ready
Jaclyn’s Aunt Carolyn and Adrian’s sister, Karina, singing “Grow Old With Me” during the ceremony (everybody cried)
The poem their friend read during the ceremony (everybody cried)
The snack bags Jaclyn made up for us.
Their friend Drew and his fiancé, Colleen provided the music at the cocktail hour and sang the first dance song, Crazy Love - they were awesome!
The toasts - all three were heartfelt and entertaining - and the best man read his from his iPhone
The groom’s uncle and cousin performed a salsa dance, then surprised everyone with the routine from the movie Dirty Dancing - more awesomeness!
There is so much more I could list, but I’d rather get to the video where you can see for yourself what a great day it was.

I have been looking forward to Fallon & JJ’s wedding for almost a year - and it was worth the wait! I knew a lot of the crowd from previous weddings and knew it would be fun, but this party was over the top. I started at Fallon’s parents house where the girls were being made Flawless by Tina. Fallon’s princess-like dress was hanging in the newly air-conditioned living room where she showed me the charms she had sewn in her dress to remember JJ’s mom. Before we left, Fallon gave me and the photographers (Images by Moak) yummy snack bags to keep us going the rest of the day.
The ceremony was held at the Christ the King church and was followed by the reception at the Albany Country Club (decorated by Flowers by Pesha) and pretty much filled to capacity. This was no typical reception though. Fallon & JJ entered to a cheering crowd that immediately surrounded them on the dance floor for the first song. They opened up a circle big enough for the bride and groom to share their first dance in the center of it, then settled down for the toasts. Before they could start, all the guests were given the option of toasting with the champagne at the tables, or with cans of Coors Light that the staff brought out on trays with sparklers. I think most opted for the Coors. After the toasts, things usually quiet down for dinner, but not this night. Dinner was set up as a two hour buffet so guests could go eat when they wanted too, and the party started right away. Vinny from Cool Cat provided the entertainment for the night and even had his dance team on hand to keep the crowd dancing all night long - and that they did. The night ended with sparklers on the patio and everyone singing God Bless the USA to celebrate the marriage of Fallon & JJ and the beginning of Independence Day weekend. And what a great start to both it was!
