What a beautiful wedding !
Dearsy & Patrick chose a tropical theme for their special day
bringing a touch of Bali and West Java to their guests. They arrived amidst a receiving line of rose petals that were tossed
into the air by their welcoming family and friends. They immediately graced the dance floor with their first dance together
as husband & wife to Frank Sinatra's "The Way You Look Tonight". Their dance lessons certainly paid off. During dinner,
we were entertained by a traditional Peacock Dance from West Java. Then some lucky guests were awarded the gorgeous centerpieces on the tables by participating in an interactive game. After our
bride and groom mingled with their guests, we kicked off the evening with a group photo of the wedding party and all their
guests taken by Starlight Photography then danced to the night away. The cake cutting was definitely a Kodak moment
with a delicious white frosted cake beautifully adorned with rose petals. The bouquet and garter toss followed with two lucky
individuals taking home the coveted tokens of good luck given away by Dearsy & Patrick. As the evening was coming
to an end, our bride & groom were treated to a "Circle Of Love" dance by the guests as they formed a circle by joining
arms and putting the couple in the middle, serenading them with Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes "I've Had The Time Of My Life" then
concluded with Andrea Boccelli's " Time To Say Goodbye". Dearsy & Patrick headed off on their honeymoon to
Tahiti that was packaged by Just Honeymoons .
In closing, I want to wish Dearsy & Patrick
a wonderful life together, and I thank them for inviting me to be a special part of their wedding day.
