BRIDAL BOUQUET ~ A stunning arrangement of calla lilies and cymbidium orchids arranged by Cindy Loomis at Precious Petals in Cohasset, MA.

A WALK TO REMEMBER ~ My proud Papi escorted me down the aisle with a full heart while a treasured friend of many years sang "Feels Like Home" by Linda Rondstadt.

SEALED WITH A KISS ~ My uncle became a one-day solemnizer and married us at the picturesque Atlantica Restaurant in Cohasset, MA where both ceremony and reception took place. My gown was Casablanca Bridal and hair was styled by Karen at Adrian Morris Salon in Cohasset, MA. The florist provided our bridesmaids with lovely bouquets of dendrobium orchids while the single white rose peeking out from the bottom left corner of this image reserved a front row seat for our union in loving memory of my beautiful mother.

WE ARE FAMILY ~ My handsome hubby and his two wonderful daughters who were featured in our bridal party as junior bridesmaid and senior flower girl. Both girls joined us for a family unity sand ceremony and followed in our dancing footsteps during the recession to the tune of "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge played for us by our wonderful DJ John Cristoferi : )

SISTERHOOD ~ Each of my dear sisters played an integral role in our wedding as junior flower girl, maid of honor and matron of honor. Our maids selected their own style dress in meadow green from Ann Taylor's Celebrations collection. This joyous moment was captured in front of the Atlantica fireplace. On the mantle above rested photos of those no longer with us in body but forever with us in spirit.

SWEETHEART TABLE ~ Our own private harborside sanctuary from which we could look out over a room full of our loved ones. Each table at our reception featured a galvanized pail filled with hydrangeas and beach grass at the center. Tables were named after our favorite beaches and place cards were nestled into Adirondack chair card holders from the knot shop!

LUCY & CHARLIE 4EVA ~ Since my hubby and I have a special affection for PEANUTS, a dear friend found figures of Lucy and Charlie online and made our cake topper from scratch (wedding dress and all!) Since our personal dessert tastes vary, we decided on a three tier cake of both chocolate ganache and lemon cake with fresh raspberries. Topped with buttercream frosting and white cymbidium orchids, our guests had their pick of either or both! This divine creation was baked by Susan Racette of Sandy Cove Wedding Cakes in Scituate, MA.
