Wedding date: August 20, 2011

Wedding theme: Classic and fun

Guests: 137

Budget: “Was $25,000, but crept up to $40,000. Well worth it though,” says Lori.

Best moment: “My favorite moment of the night was the entire bridal party’s entrance into the reception area. It was when we could finally relax and let go. Everyone chose their own songs and it was hilarious to see everyone dance. We had a blast being introduced as husband and wife for the first time,” says Lori.

Wedding song: “The Way You Look Tonight” by Tony Bennett. “I have always loved this song. I just think that the lyrics are perfect. If we were to ever fight or disagree on something I would want to think back on that night and remember why we fell in love in the first place,” explains Lori.

Favourite detail: “The flowers!” exclaims Lori. “I loved the colours of the flowers and how they made the whole room pop. I also loved how my bouquet incorporated my locket with my Dad’s photo in it. It helped me through the day knowing that he was with me every step of the way.”
