7/12/08 - Beth and Steve - Wickham Park

'Day-o, Day-o, Daylight come and me wanna go home' - Okay it took me a while, (Beth and Steve) I just got that. The song has been in my head since I arrived home from your wedding. In case anyone else is wondering this is the song Beth and Steve chose to announce themselves into the reception. It's a play on Steve's last name. Very cute!

Beth and Steve had a perfect day for their wedding - not too hot, a nice breeze and glorious sunshine - a perfect mix in my book. They were married at St. Patrick St. Anthony church in Hartford by Father Jim Hynes. During the Sermon he retold a touching story of his parents love which lasted 50 years before his father passed away. And, I'm sure that I wasn't the only one who shed a tear or two. The service was beautiful as were the gardens on the church's property where the couple and their bridal party took photos following the ceremony (Who knew that little gem was tucked away in the middle of the city?).

Afterwards, guests convened for cocktail hour at Wickham Park where food was provided by Brown Sugar Catering. And all I have to say is that Dotti can cook. Her ginger chicken and spinach and artichoke hors d' oeuvres were to die for. Not too mention that carrot cake - yumm-o. Flowers in shades of pink and green were provided by the lovely and talented Jane at Just For You and guests danced to the music to husband and wife team with Aardvark Audio DJ.

Beth and Steve your wedding was beautiful and I'm so happy to have been a part of it. Have a wonderful honeymoon and most importantly have a wonderful life together. Keep the "adventure" alive and always remember why you said yes to each other.

One of my favorite photos!
