The Wedding Day:
Wedding date: May 3, 2008
Guests: 300
Wedding theme: Chocolate brown, gold and chartreuse. We didn’t have a particular theme, but we wanted the wedding to be modern, classic and sophisticated.
Her best moment: “Walking down the aisle with my parents, while hearing my friends singing the wedding processional.”
His best moment: “Our first dance to live music performed by my new brother-in-law.”
What they would have done differently: “Spent a little more personal time with our immediate family.”
Wedding song: Charishe’s brother Noel performed, “Waiting for my Real Life to Begin,” by Colin Hay on vocals and guitar. Musically, it was a challenging song, but Noel worked hard to learn it by ear.
Fave wedding gift: “A gift certificate to CAPO Restaurant. Perfect for us because we love Italian food!”
Best surprise: “Finding out the hotel room provided by the Westin Hotel was the crown suite, complete with a boardroom, bar, two full bathrooms and a grand piano! Too bad we were only in there for a few hours before we had to check out.”
What made her day: “Getting all the wedding prep work done early so that I could spend the night before the wedding relaxing with my bridesmaids. I was well rested and that made the day so much easier!”
What made his day: “The slideshow created by our friends Bryan and Connie. It was so well done I didn’t even mind the obligatory naked baby pictures!”
The day in three words: Exhausting, emotional and exhilarating.
