The Ceremony

st. johns
The ceremony will be held at St. John Nepomecene Church in Little Chute, Wisconsin at 2:00pm on June 25, 2011.

This is the same church Alex's parents and both grandparents were married in.

Monsignor Jim will be marrying us.  He was at St. Johns for most of Alex's life and he married Alex's parents as well.  We thought he would be something special to add to the ceremony and the start of our lives.

Reception

The reception will be held at High Cliff Supper Club.  They have a beautiful place for our wonderful reception, plenty of room for all our family and friends, and a wonderful, lit-up outdoor patio as well.


It is where Siraya's parents had their wedding reception and where we shared our first dance together, way back in our freshman year of high school at Winter Ball.  We are excited to share our first dance as a married couple here.

Theme: Linked hearts

We love how the linked hearts' look and we love the message they send..that we are, and always will be, linked at the heart.

My bouquet

We are going to do a range of reds for our colors--really deep read (almost purple) ranging to the red in the photo.  This bouquet is where I originally got the color scheme as when I saw this I knew this was what I must hold when walking down the aisle on my wedding day.

The stephanotis and gems are also a great touch I love.

Bridesmaid Dresses!

After 6 hours (including driving and a lunch/drink break) we FINALLY found the perfect dress.  It is Belsoie L30001 in Scarlet.  It is perfect and will make the girls look absolutely gorgeous.  This is pretty close to the color of the dress at the right.  It is not exact because of colors of computer screens, but according the website this is it.

The groomsmen vests will also be this color, the ushers in silver, the dads in black, and Alex in white.

Photography

Adam Shea will be our wedding photographer.  We absolutely love his work, and he has already been a pleasure to work with.  We chose the "Soul Mates" package which includes our wonderful engagement photos we had taken June 1st, 12 hours of coverage on our day, 3 different locations for pictures, a hardcover storybook album, the digital copies of all prints copyright free, and a GREAT photographer.  We are so happy to know almost every moment of our wedding day will be on film to remember forever.
