Victoria + Ryan
Love was in the air as Victoria and Ryan embarked on their journey as husband and wife together! They were an amazing couple, evident by the love and support that surrounded them on their special day. As guests arrived at Castaway on this beautiful sunny day, they were greeted by welcome champagne, custom matchbook favors, and decorated lion statues (an ode to Ryanβs fraternity!). Lush greenery and white floral arrangements adorned the indoor ceremony space, where rows of chairs awaited friends and family. The sun peeked through the windows, casting a warm glow over the scene and setting the perfect ambiance for their union.
The ceremony itself was a poignant moment filled with heartfelt vows and tender promises. Their uncle performed all of the ceremony music on acoustic guitar, while the officiant, Victoriaβs aunt, spoke eloquently about love, unity, and the journey that the couple were embarking upon together. Victoria and Ryan exchanged rings and a kiss, sealing their commitment to each other amidst huge cheers and applause from their loved ones.
After the ceremony, guests mingled during a cocktail hour adorned with delicious hors d'oeuvres and refreshing drinks. Laughter and conversation filled the air as everyone celebrated the newlyweds and shared in their happiness. The reception was a lively affair, held inside at Castaway's elegant industrial space. Keeping in line with the classic white design, tablescapes were adorned with white floral centerpieces, timeless menus, and polished place cards, creating an intimate and romantic atmosphere. After a delicious family style dinner, the night continued with heartfelt toasts, a delicious dessert bar, and dancing that lasted well into the evening. I just loved the cute LEGO cake topper!!
Victoria and Ryan's first dance as husband and wife was such a beautiful moment, accompanied by cheers and applause from their guests. As the evening drew to a close, Victoria and Ryan bid farewell to everyone and their guests showered them with bubbles during their final dance.
Throughout the day, Victoria and Ryan's love for each other shone brightly, evident in every glance and smile. Their wedding was not just a celebration of their love, but a testament to the bonds of family, friendship, and the joy that comes with finding your soulmate. Victoria and Ryan's wedding was indeed a day to remembe as a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories that will last a lifetime! What an honor to be a part of it!
