No wedding cake & champagne toast for this bride & groom. They went for cupcakes & tequila shots!

Beautiful wedding ceremony at Wildwood Park for Performing Arts

I'm crazy about doing something new and straying just a bit from the traditional. This groom had ice cream sundaes instead of the standard cake.

This groom went for his fave - banana pudding!

Simple, classic, beautiful

So Southern - Cheesy grits with asssorted toppings including crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, diced ham, caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms & chives alongside a cubed cheese display with goat cheese truffles.

Jessica & Michael 5-7-11

Jessica & Michael said "I do" on the front lawn of the Terry House on a beautiful May afternoon.

After the ceremony, chairs were moved to seating tables on the lawn and inside the galleries.

Food & beverages were served while the bridal party took pictures.

Hors d'oeuvres consisted of Fresh Fruit & Veggies, Chicken Skewers, Mini Twice Baked Potatoes and Assorted Pinwheels among other items.

A lovely bride's cake was accompanied by decadent cake balls for the groom.

Desserts were provided by A Cake for You...Designed by Tracie

Family members of the groom created a book that was a narrative of his life. The book was full of pictures and stories many of which included Jessica!

After tummies were full & thirsts were quenched, guests were invited to the patio to celebrate with Jessica & Michael.  A good time was had by all!
