We've have the greatest luck in getting to work with some of the sweetest couples and Grace and Jimmy are no exception. When we found out they were animal lovers, we knew we would get along great!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwzCKD6PGPzrfw-qWS8kj3tpSMkbHinDGi6kv16FUh5Y52kCJlI7SSg4uV1q9Ci-Oo8-HpyB3JO_qS41MPYRBbitELge5G3a09otUGnX0Aa6BWMyWWM0y8ueIPFc5KpEmqRogMqvHyyMk/s1600/Grace+%252B+Betty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwzCKD6PGPzrfw-qWS8kj3tpSMkbHinDGi6kv16FUh5Y52kCJlI7SSg4uV1q9Ci-Oo8-HpyB3JO_qS41MPYRBbitELge5G3a09otUGnX0Aa6BWMyWWM0y8ueIPFc5KpEmqRogMqvHyyMk/s640/Grace+%252B+Betty.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
When we were planning their wedding film and going over the details of what was important to include, their dogs, Baloo and Betty, were at the top of the list. Their dogs are a big part of their lives. As you'll see in the film clip below, photos of Grace and Jimmy together and together with the dogs are all over their home. Their sweet dogs were also included in their engagement photos. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Tragically, the month before their wedding, Baloo passed away. Grace decided to have him walk down the aisle with her, in spirit, by including his name tag on her bouquet. We knew that we could find a way to honor Baloo in their wedding film and her bride's prep segment was the perfect place. Among all the details, excitement of getting ready and the bright smiles, especially from Grace, you will see clips of both Betty and Baloo.<br />
<br />
<br />

Here is Grace's Bridal prep featuring both of their dogs. We hope you enjoy it.</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Three years ago, we had the pleasure of filming Krystle + Nick getting married in front of their family and friends here in New York, but next month, they will be celebrating their four year wedding anniversary. Wait. What?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoy0x-VjUskp-aYE00RxB8H00k16ZOdvVkj1eFEH0WPTPpAxDb4KoZhcEIjwBYqiLMxqvbSIqKbU-8dNI_K73CF9bQ31V4p6qdUZqR2olsmz_0wjXtNQGjVLUNeCXaL_0RPwEej-XVY48/s1600/Krystle%252BNick+Ann+Proj+12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoy0x-VjUskp-aYE00RxB8H00k16ZOdvVkj1eFEH0WPTPpAxDb4KoZhcEIjwBYqiLMxqvbSIqKbU-8dNI_K73CF9bQ31V4p6qdUZqR2olsmz_0wjXtNQGjVLUNeCXaL_0RPwEej-XVY48/s640/Krystle%252BNick+Ann+Proj+12.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Krystle and Nick had a beautiful, small elopement ceremony on the shore in Hawaii, where Nick was stationed with the Army. Almost a year later, they came to New York to have a vow renewal ceremony and reception to celebrate with their family and friends. Seeing the moments when Krystle and Nick were lost in each other that day, it was clear how much in love they are and nothing has changed. Well, maybe a few things.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifTetl3skUXJwaHZd8Dvq3Nv8Zcy12WDK9ams9C7BI7wnOA-6O7ugARU8Abk-_dDCoGD86ydx9crsmUuDJrmJaFoniquKzksY_WjOTCF_QfUFfDbjt70mu-ktxs6dN5cKYejP40vTQEHo/s1600/Family+then%252Bnow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="326" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifTetl3skUXJwaHZd8Dvq3Nv8Zcy12WDK9ams9C7BI7wnOA-6O7ugARU8Abk-_dDCoGD86ydx9crsmUuDJrmJaFoniquKzksY_WjOTCF_QfUFfDbjt70mu-ktxs6dN5cKYejP40vTQEHo/s640/Family+then%252Bnow.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Their three kids, Morgan, Veda-Lynne and Logan, who were in the wedding, got older and bigger and Krystle and Nick welcomed another boy, Thomas, into their family just over a year ago.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
They are also back on the mainland now, currently in Georgia, but duty calls, so the family will be moving again at the end of the year. Such is the life of this happy Army family.<br />
<br />
We wish lots of love and continued happiness to Krystle + Nick on their anniversary as they celebrate with their adorable kids!<br />

<br />
Jen and Matt were married ten years ago in our most favorite time of year, Fall. They had the Fall theme woven into many aspects of their wedding, from the colors in the bouquets and the bridal party dresses to their pumpkin centerpieces and maple syrup in glass leaf favors. Jen was also our first DIY bride. She bought leaves and customized her escort cards. When we filmed her bridal prep, she gave me a handful of leftover leaves to incorporate into the cover art design for her DVD.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1bHNiggaXSG40tQTe5IZdmtljCCKWGG8JDLYINtbfN4Lp7iI0kD6WS6CVukdRM3fdRRTjP0dlOr8xQY45uZer32Lvpp6Te2EyTubC2QC7hi3NPcjQmpTKue_GPsO1gzabYtq7LFXkzbY/s1600/Fall+Decor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="582" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1bHNiggaXSG40tQTe5IZdmtljCCKWGG8JDLYINtbfN4Lp7iI0kD6WS6CVukdRM3fdRRTjP0dlOr8xQY45uZer32Lvpp6Te2EyTubC2QC7hi3NPcjQmpTKue_GPsO1gzabYtq7LFXkzbY/s640/Fall+Decor.jpg" width="640" /></a> </div>
<br />
Their wedding was also memorable for the dancing. We'll never forget the fun guests had on the dance floor, from the enthusiasm the family showed while dancing to every Michael Jackson song to the friend that did the worm for them twice. It was high energy all night long. We had the opportunity to catch the family on the dance floor again when Matt's sister, Laura, had us film her wedding four years later. It's always so much fun to film a wedding, but even more when the family and guests are having such a great time. This family will always be remembered by us for their energy and fancy footwork!<br />
<br />

<br />
Jen and Matt's film was the first where we could incorporate the bride's and groom's pets. When they got their video back, they were surprised we were able to capture all of their pets in the video, especially Tyler, their cat that hid most of the time in the upstairs bedroom. We've always thought of our own pets as family members, so we have always made sure that when pets are present as we film weddings that they should get screen time too. Since Jen and Matt's wedding, we have filmed countless weddings where pets have played a role in the film and each time our couples are happy to have the memory of their furry family members in their films.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">This week, Katy + John celebrate their 9th Anniversary. These two have been up to quite a lot over the past 9 years, from a new house and a new business, for Katy, to two daughters and a busy life for all. Even though nine years have past, it still seems like we filmed their beautiful wedding at Onteora Mountain House yesterday. So, what have they been up to since their wedding day?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Shortly after Katy + John were married, they purchased the house across the street from them (the owner, in turn, purchased their house). They had a crazy ‘swap houses’ day where they moved everything from their old house to the new house and everything from the new house to the old house. They then went into renovation-mode, and practically gutted the house, and added an addition. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">In the same week that the construction crew arrived to start working, John and Katy discovered Katy was pregnant with their first child. That same week, they moved out of the new house and into her mother’s house for nearly a year and a half while construction was ongoing.
Their first child, Annabelle, was born in October 2008. They moved back into their new house in May 2009. Baby number two, Maggie, was born in April 2011.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Immediately after their honeymoon, Katy started a new job as a Creative Director at a local marketing firm. In February 2009, Katy started her own design business: Katy Dwyer Design, as a side business, and in 2014, she was able to make it her full-time job. Katy continues to work as a designer and creative director, and her business grew by leaps and bounds. She has newly partnered with a colleague and started a brand new local marketing firm, <a href="http://webrandtogether.com/" target="_blank">Hand in Hand Marketing</a>, just this August. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Professionally, John is still at <a href="http://www.qdlinsurance.com/" target="_blank">Quilty, Dwyer, and Larkin Insurance Agency</a>, and is currently Vice Chair of City of Kingston Planning Board (of which he’s been a member for over 7 years). A member of the Ancient order of Hibernians, John got involved with a group of Hibernians who wanted to build an Irish Cultural Center in Kingston in 2011. The <a href="http://www.icchv.org/" target="_blank">Irish Cultural Center Hudson Valley</a> is a non-profit group dedicated to promoting and preserving Irish and Irish-American heritage and culture. The ICCHV purchased land on the Kingston Rondout in 2013 and hopes to build the center in the near future. In March of 2013, John was honored to be chosen as the Grand Marshal of the Kingston St. Patrick’s Day Parade. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">With two kids in tow, their favorite activities include attending Irish Festivals, or any other local activities (Gardiner Cupcake Festival, Apple Picking, Farmers Markets, local zoos, etc.), and when vacationing, they make it their mission to explore local breweries and wineries. They’ve taken three ferry trips from Cape May to Delaware to visit the Dogfish Head Brewery, and love seeing their friends from their favorite Seneca Lake winery, Atwater Vineyards, every year at the Hudson Valley Wine and Food Festival. They make a yearly trek (sans kids) to Katy’s college town, Bethlehem, PA, for the Celtic Classic, and have twice made it out to John’s alma mater to see his beloved Ohio State Buckeyes during football season.</span><br />

<br />
Laura and John were married nine years ago today. We loved Laura and John the second we met them. We found that we had a lot in common; preserving of and appreciation for the past, rescue animals, creativity and crafts being among them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So many things about their wedding excited us! They were getting married where we had been married just three years before and were excited to go back and experience another wedding there. Their wedding was going to be a mixture of vintage romance and diy chic and many of the details and activities were going to be personalized, which we love! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Laura planned to have vintage family photographs on display,
vintage-styled decor and accessories and my favorite, her bouquet was a
gorgeous recreation of her grandmother's bouquet from the 1940's. Rather than tossing her bouquet at the reception, Laura presented it to her Nana. It was a sweet and sentimental moment, the ones we love the most!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3aVUQxXRie_0JOlPjSQVE18v6jpOmK5RN1P0q9uj0ZfKjYF4NFiAKxHbj8p3m3bQMKyvEtjkU6G4o_PwQiof7gbLdCf4C70VfY63JQjqZGdqXcMIBo4CF85L2TH23AKAG18fd3plQKUU/s1600/Nana%2527s+Bouquet.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="1020" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3aVUQxXRie_0JOlPjSQVE18v6jpOmK5RN1P0q9uj0ZfKjYF4NFiAKxHbj8p3m3bQMKyvEtjkU6G4o_PwQiof7gbLdCf4C70VfY63JQjqZGdqXcMIBo4CF85L2TH23AKAG18fd3plQKUU/s640/Nana%2527s+Bouquet.jpg" width="578" /></a></div>
<br />
Another standout moment was when Laura and John read Words of Wisdom. Each table had a floral box in which guests were to write some advice to them for their marriage. Many couples do these types of things, but no one ever gets to hear the advice, so they read a few random cards for their guests at the wedding. When it came time to edit their film, I asked Laura to send me some of the advice they were given, so I could incorporated a few into their film. They served as a great transition between segments and, in a way, mimicked the activities in each segment. It's still one of our favorite personal details that we put into a film and it's unique to only their film. This is why we love our job so much!<br />

<br />
Of course, we have to mention all the crafty details. Laura spent a lot of time crafting many items for the wedding including pink tissue paper flowers and coasters for the cocktail hour tables, scrolls and escort cards for each of her guests, personalized table names with photos and descriptions of their significance and her programs and invitations. A lot of work and it was all worth it for the personal touch it gave their wedding.<br />

Their vintage theme gave me the opportunity to use black and white during some segments and play with some effects that we don't use very often. I especially loved the look of the black white and sepia toned shots with the color effect that left her bouquet pink. Kind of a fun effect that gets really overused now, but these shots are still so pretty and it was a perfect fit for their vintage look.<br />

So what have they been up to since their wedding? We heard from Laura last year when she was looking for another copy of her wedding film. She is very much like us in that she likes to have several back-ups of everything, just in case. When we saw her, she was as pregnant as she is in the photo below. Just a short time after we saw her, Laura and John welcomed their daughter, Aliceen, to the world. She is now 18 months old and cute as a button!!<br />
<br />

<br />
When we fist met them, both Laura and John were in the beginning of their careers as special education teachers and they were volunteering with dog rescues, both of which they continue to do today. When they got married, they had a rescued greyhound named Freeda, as in Freed-a Greyhound - yes, they share our sense of humor too. <br />

<br />
Later, they became interested in agility training and adopted two Jack Russel Terriers named Avery and Hidee. Currently they are working with <a href="http://www.russellrefuge.org/" target="_blank">Russel Refuge</a> in Rhinebeck, a shelter specializing in Jack Russel dogs and puppies that are surrendered or found in local shelters. In 2014, Russel Refuge suffered a devastating fire, in which 13 dogs Laura and John knew perished. After the fire, Laura and John adopted Tink, an older dog that survived the fire. She is the latest addition to this big, happy bunch. <br />

Along with the updated photos, Laura sent us her own words of wisdom:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"We believe we all
have choices in life and John and I try their best to choose love and happiness each day.

As promised, here is some more from Brittany and Dan's wedding. These
two are so sweet together and you can see it in every frame of this film
clip! From the anticipation of seeing each other when Brittany gets ready, through their first look and photographs, to their sunset ceremony and awesome reception the two of them are always laughing, smiling and having fun together.<br />

If you're planning on writing your own wedding vows, you can take a lesson from these two. We've witnessed many personalized ceremonies over the years, but these two made some unique and fun promises to each other that we've not heard before. It just speaks to the couple they are and their commitment to having both love and fun in their lives.<br />

<br />
Today, Andrea and Nick celebrate their third wedding anniversary as a trio with their son, Blake. If you follow our blog, you may be familiar with Andrea and Nick. We did quite an extensive blog post on the many DIY details from their very colorful wedding and shared a few video clip, including one of the surprise Zumba Andrea did with the girls. Here is a look back at that moment.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
So, what have they been up to since their wedding? First and foremost, they became parents. Andrea and Nick are a sweet, super fun, not afraid to be silly couple and they did many fun photos throughout Andrea's pregnancy. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We already knew that Andrea is a crafty and creative gal, but she is also very digitally savvy. She's been dabbling in photography for quite a while now. With a bit of help from Nick and her mom, she photographed her own maternity pictures. <br />
<br />

Along the way, she also documented the growing size of her belly, while holding a chalkboard with some details about the baby's progress, their thoughts and other cool tidbits.<br />

When the day finally arrived, they were excited to finally welcome Blake to the world, one week overdue. It looks like this click happy couple couldn't help themselves. I'm pretty sure the photo on the top right is a delivery room selfie. So cute!<br />

Andrea also documented Blake's first year in photographs, month by month to show his growth. This adorable little boy is going to have the most amazing pictures to share with his kids one day, thanks to mom, with a little help from dad. <br />

When I asked about how their lives have changed since Blake's arrival, Andrea offered the following:<br />
<br />
"Our lives have gone from "easy living" do as we please whenever -in regards to going to dinner, hanging out at the ball field, hanging with our friends, running to the store "quick", etc... It allllll changes...and it's hard and exhausting BUT we also have been shown the true extent of love. Of course we love each other and our bond is still so strong, but the love and bond we have with our little boy is indescribable. Sometimes we can't imagine having another baby because how can we split that attention and love, but then we think we won't be splitting anything. It'll all just be doubled; the amount of love, the amount of laughs (and tears), the hugs and kisses, etc...<br />

<br />
The extreme change in lifestyle and the exhaustion that comes with it is
sooooo worth it. Advice to newly married couples looking to start a
family: take that trip you've been thinking about, take a random weekend
road trip, go grab some drinks some night together because all that
gets tricky. That being said, the new highlights are watching his lil
face light up when we bring him to the zoo...when he spots the airplane
in the sky...when he sees the swings at the park... life is more about
the little things...things we never thought would be such a big deal."<br />

<br />
So, when I said that Andrea "dabbles" in photography, it may have been an understatement. She has been taking photos for a while. Below is a sample of her work. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9LwZXGwF9lccv9LP4-3IaUabl5bf4wks7tXf5mzALGrv0rbTUvptXqO2YcDfOvxUho-xvggvAYh0egmB1DsYXRzcCjwvZUo83UjAOyswtlJUz-CFRrLLcgpo6RTPOgLIIHXALl8dCS_Y/s1600/Photos+By+Andrea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9LwZXGwF9lccv9LP4-3IaUabl5bf4wks7tXf5mzALGrv0rbTUvptXqO2YcDfOvxUho-xvggvAYh0egmB1DsYXRzcCjwvZUo83UjAOyswtlJUz-CFRrLLcgpo6RTPOgLIIHXALl8dCS_Y/s1600/Photos+By+Andrea.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Since Blake's arrival, she hasn't been able to photograph for others as
much as she'd like, but it's all to spend the free time she has with
Nick and her beautiful boy. This just means that Blake becomes the
subject of Andrea's photographic creativity whims. Not a bad life for a
cute baby.<br />

When not at work, Nick can be found playing on the softball field, taking apart and rebuilding mopeds or putting together things for his son, like his play set and crib. Andrea has been spending time rehabbing old furniture pieces for the house, like the dresser turned changing table for the nursery, and, of course, she is often crafting. This fall they will be attending four weddings, for some of which, Andrea is crafting for showers and parties.<br />

I want to end this post with one final thought from Andrea:<br />
<br />
"As Blake gets older, it'll fun to show him the wedding video and see his reaction. He'll probably tell us we can't dance, we kiss too much, mommy's hair is funny looking and the music is horrible, but he'll be able to see that his life all started with true love and happiness. Not just between us, but by all the family and friends he'll recognize in the video."<br />

There is simply no denying that these two are completely in love and in it for the long haul, not to mention utterly adorable and super photogenic! They're celebrating their 6 year anniversary today, but they've been together for 15 years. As you can clearly see, they are still as happy as they were when they first met and just as adorable! <br />

Some of you may recognize Marissa and Justin, but might not know why they look so familiar. They have been prominent in our logo and advertising for years. We were looking to change up our look the year they got married and these two were happy to be in front of the cameras, willing to try something a little bit different and had a sense of adventure, so they were the perfect candidates for some fun and creative shoots we'd had in mind. The infectious joy they emanate made them prime candidates for our logo and the urban shots we got on their wedding day spoke to the modern shift in which we were taking our business. It was a perfect match, much like Marissa and Justin!<br />

I always like to explore new, artistic and fun ideas when it comes
to wedding video and I take inspiration from lots of different sources; from art and documentaries to movies and music videos. Through the years of filming weddings, I'd always loved filming candid photo sessions, but even with great planning, it always seems rushed on the wedding day. You do what you can in the time frame allotted and then have to move onto the next event. Our couples were coming up with really great locations for their shoots, but I always left thinking of all the cool things we could have shot, if we only had some more time. To be able to explore these ideas I had, I began asking couples to consider getting back into their wedding attire to go out to do post wedding day shoots with us. We saw it as a way to get some really
cool, artistic footage and to give the couple another day to wear the clothes that would probably be stored away in a closet for the rest of their lives. These would be for the artistic shots we didn't have time for the day of the wedding, the locations that were considered, but were too far away given the tight timeline of the wedding day or the types of shots that most couples love, but would never
consider doing on their wedding day for fear of getting too dirty before the reception. My ideas were always to either create a strong juxtaposition between the beautiful white gown and the unexpected location or visit the dream locations that weren't logistically possible the day of the wedding.<br />
<br />

This was before Trash the Dress sessions became really popular. We had asked couples for about a year and many of our brides told us that they were worried about getting their dress dirty or didn't have an interest in going out in the clothes again. Then we met Marissa and Justin. They seemed open to creative, artistic and outside the box ideas and we could tell that they were a fun couple. When I asked Marissa if she would be willing to get in her dress again after the wedding, she was very excited about the idea, wasn't concerned about ruining her dress at all and was willing to do just about anything in it, including get wet or muddy. The spring following their wedding, we did two days of shooting with her and Justin. The first shoot was a post wedding/anniversary session, where we didn't get the dress dirty, but revisited the City of Poughkeepsie to find locations we didn't have time for the day of their wedding day and to check out other nearby, fun locations, including the newly opened Walkway Over the Hudson.<br />
<br />

<br />
We had to wait a few months and let the weather get warmer before we attempted the second shoot. For this one, we asked photographer Cheryl Bolton-Reuter to come along. She not only happened to have been their wedding photographer, and ours coincidentally, but she is also a great collaborator, shares a like minded sense of adventure and loves the outside the box, artistic nature of these shoots. This was going to be the shoot where we could really get creative and not be overly concerned about the condition of the dress at the end. We started the day with artsy, fairly clean setups and as the day progressed, we got more bold and adventurous and, in the process, got Marissa and Justin wetter. <br />
<br />

<br />
In the final moments of the shoot, we asked Marissa to get into the water and ultimately into a waterfall. We were surprised and delighted when Justin decided to jump in too at the end. The entire shoot was a creative collaboration that was not only fun, but quite challenging. We
had to climb over and around objects, us with our equipment and Marissa and
Justin having to wrangling her dress. No matter what we asked, they were game and we were willing to do whatever we needed to to get the shots. At the end of the day, we all agreed that it was much more fun than we had ever expected it to be and the photographs and video from the day are still among our favorites. Marissa and Justin were the first to agree to a post shoot and we have since done several shoots based on how much people love watching theirs. <br />

Since our adventure 5 years ago, Marissa and Justin have gone on to start a family. The first additions were their fur babies, Lily, their dog, and their miniature horses, which got to take part in their first maternity photo session. <br />

Next came their three adorable sons; Caiden, Lincoln and Weston, who was just born this year. When we were preparing to film their wedding, we learned a lot about Marissa and Justin. One of those things was that Marissa comes from a large family and that she also wanted a large family. With three boys, they are well on their way to reaching that goal and there is no shortage of love in the family.<br />

Marissa announced she was pregnant with Weston by posting these cute photos of Caiden and Lincoln. Though very funny, it's clear that the boys love their new baby brother just as much as mommy and daddy do.</div>

<br />
We can't forget the original baby. Part big sister, part babysitter, part plaything and all awesome, Lily has grown up the the boys and is great with them. She may be up for the best dog ever award. She is a gentle and sweet and Caiden loves her so much that he insisted on getting in the kennel with her one day.<br />

Marissa's mother died of breast cancer and, in her honor, Marissa's wedding color was pink. There were pink flowers, pink ties, pink shoes, and breast cancer ribbon shaped necklaces for her bridesmaids, but the one thing that stood out was the pink ribbon the sash on her dress created, wrapped around her waist, loosely bowed and draped. </div>

Marissa continues to be a breast cancer research supporter and has done charity events to honor her mother. And, if you couldn't love her enough for that, she also grows out her hair in order to donate it for wigs, something I do as well. Her latest donation went to <a href="http://www.wigsforkids.org/" target="_blank">Wigs for Kids</a>. <br />

We're so excited to share this prep! Our beautiful bride, Brittany, is the sister of one of our past brides, Noelle. We were so happy to receive the call to film another wedding with this super sweet and loving family. It was such a great joy to be a part of this celebration!<br />

We are animal lovers and so is this family!! Both times we filmed with them it was dogapolooza and we loved every minute! At times it was hard to tell who was having more fun, the girls getting ready or the dogs, who were getting a lot of attention!</div>

When we filmed Noelle's
wedding in 2013 and saw how much her dogs were a part of her life and
wedding, we were tickled! They were prominently featured in the <a href="http://beautifulmemoriesvideo.blogspot.com/2013/12/noelle-james-get-ready-for-thier.html" target="_blank">prep segment of her wedding film </a>and her reception favors were cookies in the
shape of her dogs. <br />

Much like her sister, Brittany loves her dogs and made them a part of her wedding too. Her favors featured her dog, Maximus, who also served as ring bearer at the ceremony and her dog, Tyson, who has passed away, was walking her down the aisle in spirit. His tag was included as a a part of a keepsake attached to her bouquet. <br />

Dina + Paul met in 2006 and that was when we met them too. It was at the wedding of Dina's sister, Stephanie. To say this day was a long time coming is not an exaggeration. Even Paul's best man made reference to it in his toast saying, "Several times I did warn Paul that he'd better marry Dina before she came to her senses and decided to move on." <br />
<br />
This is the third wedding we've had the privilege of spending with this loving family. We've watched three daughters get married and watched the family grow over the years. What started as a family of six has blossomed into a family of five couples with 10 grandchildren for their happy parents.<br />

Looking back over the wedding films we did for her sisters, you can see that Dina and Paul are just as in love as they were nine years ago. It's also clear that the family loves Paul and they made him a part of the family right away.<br />

We've watched these wonderful parents transform from Mom and Dad to Grandma and Grandpa and we've watched their daughters progress from young ladies to wives and mothers. We hope that in the future each of the girls, their husbands and their kids will be just as happy as their parents are and will be just as proud of their children. <br />

As a family, they do MANY activities together, from baking, cooking and crafting to renaissance fairs and Spartan Races. As you can tell by these photos, Kristin and Dave take on everything they do with everything they've got and they're teaching Scarlett to do the same.<br />

Kristin is a baker extraordinaire, Dave is a guy that can cook and
Scarlett is their little sous chef. We can tell you they are quite good
as well, since we've had the pleasure of sampling some of their goodies. Below is just a sample of the artistic and yummy treats Kristin creates.<br />

Kristin and Dave have been running Spartan Races since 2012. What began as trying something new quickly turned into a fun way to spend some family time together (they do kids races too), a way to challenge themselves and to spark some friendly competition. The races evolved into more when they formed <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LymphaticResearch" target="_blank">Conner's Spartans</a> to bring <a href="http://lymphatic.donorpages.com/2015CONNORSSPARTANS/" target="_blank">funds and awareness to Lymphatic disease</a>.<br />

More recently, Kristin and Scarlett have begun attending Aeriel Silks classes at <a href="http://www.westchestercircusarts.com/" target="_blank">Westchester Circus Arts</a>. This began with Scarlett's dream to learn how to be an aerialist and turned into a new passion she shares with her mom. These girls are impressive, strong and fearless. They have been involved in student shows and look forward to more. Kristin notes that Dave's support has made this newest hobby possible.<br />

Jessica and Micah's wedding is one that we will not forget and a great example of why we love filming weddings. It had everything that you could hope for; a beautiful Catskill Mountain backdrop, personal details, heartfelt toasts, lots of family and friends having a great time, a ceremony which was both serious and humorous and a sweet couple clearly in love. The energy, love and fun at this wedding was infectious! The weather even cooperated, sort of.<br />

It was very windy that day; the most windy we've ever encountered while filming a wedding. This made things a bit tricky for a ceremony under a Cuppah, but there was no rain, only a rainbow, and the sun kept creeping in and out as the clouds blew quickly overhead. It was really gorgeous! <br />

<br />
Because they were planning from a distance, we didn't get the chance to meet Jessica and Micah before their wedding day, but the second we arrived to film on their wedding day, we felt welcomed by them and their families and, as the night went on, we learned so much about them through toasts and conversations that we felt like we'd known them their whole lives. Anyone can tell just from watching them how in love they are. Together, they exude such joy. It was all clear from their first dance alone. It was so fun to watch. They danced, laughed, did a Dirty Dancing lift fake out, ended with dip, but most noticeably, they were constantly smiling. In every first dance there is a moment when the couple locks eyes, are completely in the moment and the look on their faces is complete bliss. I always look for that moment. It was tougher to find in Jess and Micah's first dance, but I think I found it in this first shot.<br />

Personal weddings, like this one, are the weddings we love to film
the most and the ones that family and friends will always remember and
talk about often. I can't complete this post without sharing two more of my favorite things about the wedding, both by Jessica's Step-Mother. One was my favorite detail from their wedding; the personalized wooden table markers. The other was Gayle's toast. It was not only a personal toast like the others, but it also included several items from Jessica's childhood including her favorite books and a groom that she sewed when she was 8 years old. <br />

My answer is always the following. There are things you'll see in the video that you may not necessarily see in photographs. Videographers shoot more than photographers because we're shooting 24-30 frames per second, not just only each time the shutter is released, so we may catch a moment that they miss while they're focusing, checking their last shot for clarity or repositioning for another angle. We're also both shooting from different angles and it won't be identical to your photographs, so a person that is obscured in the photograph may be in the video. Last, but not least, we can't forget that the moments when you say something won't be in your photographs, only the expression, and you'll be wondering what the heck you said later. One of those moments happens near the end of this clip when one of the ring bearers and flower girls arrive at the house as the bride and her mom are posing for photographs. Too cute! <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is part two of Lina's bridal prep. Hope you enjoy!</div>

Here is what our bride, Lina, thought after seeing her prep clip:<br />
<br />
<i> "Jenn, I AM SO CHEESY!!! LOL. I am literally crying like a kid, so ridic. I saw the clip on your website and I loved how you put everything together for the second part of the prep. I loved that moment when my dad is looking at me smiling and when our SILLY dog is like all over the place kind of "in the way" that was lovely!!!! And how you got the dog sometimes laying on the floor with his cute face on the ground! I have tears coming down and this was just one part of the whole video."</i><br />

It's been a while since I've posted a camera to camera edit or a clip with just dancing and a very long time since I've posted a bride dancing with her father. Too long!<br />
<br />
This is our bride, Lina, and her father. This is not their formal parent dance, which, by the way, was an impressive waltz, but just a bride and her dad having some fun dancing. Both of them are ready for Dancing with the Stars and, if you watch the clip to the end, you'll see that Lina's Mom is ready too! <br />
<br />
Her Dad was on the dance floor for much of the night and it seemed like everyone wanted to dance with him. I even commented to Lina that I wanted to put down my camera to dance with him. So guys, let this be a lesson to you. Learn how to dance, the ladies love it!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
There will definitely be more to see from this wedding, but for now, I hope you'll enjoy watching Lina and her Dad showing their stuff. </div>

<br />
In the ten years we've been doing wedding films in the Hudson Valley, last season was the first time we'd been asked to do a wedding at West Point and we did three in a row. Kristy and Stephen were our second West Point couple. They married on a gorgeous summer day in July at Most Holy Trinity Chapel at West Point followed by a fun-filled reception at West Point Club. <br />
<br />
If opposites attract, and we believe they do, these two couldn't be more suited for each other. While Kristy spent her youth frequenting Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen and Olive Garden with her best friend thinking that was the best food ever, Stephen was away at college introducing his classmates to wine, gourmet food and his mad knife skills. His Best Man called him "The Original Fruit Ninja". Stephen cooks and was credited with expanding Kristy's horizons by taking her from Grilled Chicken Sandwiches with Cheddar Cheese and Honey Mustard to Lamb Chops with Chimichurri.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9V9WyKs3bC7YNf6b1cy4j0_tAlFvaLqu1f4iAXKQ_W0JNXnzjKYqdDxKWNLnEiiugpL-HTyfmrQkRyya0udkqbDw1A1SelqBhukTvmPXj7sO30aXgGgV-fNZs5hZb2nJSNihpbhHLenU/s1600/Matesic+JM+T1+Church+For016B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9V9WyKs3bC7YNf6b1cy4j0_tAlFvaLqu1f4iAXKQ_W0JNXnzjKYqdDxKWNLnEiiugpL-HTyfmrQkRyya0udkqbDw1A1SelqBhukTvmPXj7sO30aXgGgV-fNZs5hZb2nJSNihpbhHLenU/s1600/Matesic+JM+T1+Church+For016B.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
During their ceremony, Kristy, being a teacher, thought about every response to the questions "Have you", "Will you" and "Do you" making sure they were grammatically correct, while Stephen was so eager to answer that he wasn't as concerned. When they answered a question differently, Kristy repeated the correct response and Stephen looked out at the guests and said, "She's a teacher". It was a really cute moment.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidKU2NdcqoLYJ5LZbI8B4IJW5Nmh27U1kt96KX9ZDiooi8rciv4bBDStni-zKOWNhTwcC5jymBOjbUsjv65pQRWrqQ0J_OJNo32AexDZBF5LbxY9f3oW8lAaF7pEFg7p95d5Kak5B2IVI/s1600/Matesic+JM+T2+07B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidKU2NdcqoLYJ5LZbI8B4IJW5Nmh27U1kt96KX9ZDiooi8rciv4bBDStni-zKOWNhTwcC5jymBOjbUsjv65pQRWrqQ0J_OJNo32AexDZBF5LbxY9f3oW8lAaF7pEFg7p95d5Kak5B2IVI/s1600/Matesic+JM+T2+07B.jpg" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
You can tell by a lot of what they say and do that they learn and grow, as well as, have fun together. Stephen has a signature pose, which you'll see in the video clip. Kristy was doing it during the photo session with him, unprompted. By the end of the night, everyone was doing it. At one point during their photo session, Stephen was blowing on Kristy trying to distract her and she said while laughing, "You're such a child." Stephens response was, "You said yes." Her response, "I did."<br />
<br />

<br />
There were many memorable moments throughout the day, but the one that will always stands out in my mind is the two impromptu lifts during (I've Had) The Time of My Life at the end of their reception; one by Kristy and Stephen and one by two of the guys, both are in the clip below. It's pretty common to see couples do a fake out for the dramatic lift, giving guests the idea that they might actually do it, but you rarely see anyone go up father than waist height. The guys showed everyone how it's done, if only for a few seconds. If you want to see more lift attempts we've caught on film, see our blog post <a href="http://beautifulmemoriesvideo.blogspot.com/2014/07/lift-expectations-choosing-youre-last.html" target="_blank">Lift Expectations.</a><br />

We were happy to take part in a styled shoot and open house to promote a new venue in the Hudson Valley, <a href="http://www.bluemountainmanor.com/">The Blue Mountain Manor</a> in Saugerties. This rustic, elegant, BnB farm property offers many options for ceremony and reception spaces, as well as accommodations for getting ready. The large barn is a blank canvas that you can make your own. The grounds offer many locations to hold your ceremony. The day of the shoot, we used the pond, but there are several areas with beautiful trees and stunning mountain views as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There were three reception set-ups for the open house and we shot two of them with our lovely couple, Cristina and Nelson, so we edited two clips to show what each wedding design could look like in a wedding film. The first clip features the barn, set up for a rustic, yet elegant fall wedding, with paper lanterns hung from the rafters and uplighting splashed on the wooden stall doors. We even got to take some really cute shots with a miniature horse. The second clip features an elegant, romantic farm table set up under the trees with vintage place settings.<br />

When I met Jodie, there was something I immediately noticed about her. She was smiling and laughing a lot. Now, it's not unusual for brides to be happy when we meet with them, but Jodie was different, in a great way. Her joy was contagious. I could tell in our very first meeting that Jodie wasn't just happy and excited over her upcoming wedding. Jodie is a genuinely and naturally happy person. The type that makes fast friends with everyone and someone you feel comfortable with immediately. Our first meeting lasted close to three hours because we just talked and talked. When she left, it was like saying goodbye to someone I'd known for years. <br />

We didn't get the chance to meet Adam until the wedding day, but we did
get a glimpse into his personality through photos Jodie and Adam's family
sent us for a slideshow we made for them. We imagined Adam as someone who
liked to have fun and who often laughs, just like Jodie, and when we met him, he was just as we had imagined. <br />
<br />
It wasn't hard
for us to see what attracted them to each other and we aren't alone. Everything we thought was confirmed in the heartfelt toasts given at their reception. <br />

Jodie's aunt, who served as Matron of Honor, said, "What I admire most about my niece is she smiles more than any person I have ever met. Jodie, you are able to find joy in situations that nobody else would find it in. And I think what makes it so special is that there's never any meanness or guile or calculation. And when I met Adam, he too has that type of kindness. When it gets serious and you want to have an important conversation, Jodie will listen without judgement. It's this non-judgmental type of attitude that really pulls people into her and again, Adam has a very similar personality."<br />

Her best friend said, "As some of you know, at first I was less than fond of Jodie. She was always the hot mess. She was always running late for class, taking forever to get ready and she always left Jodie items everywhere. But as you know, Jodie tends to grow on everybody. Her contagious smile and all her quirky sayings just really... I don't know. You get hooked. I'm not sure which crazy day we became best of friends, but our friendship has grown and bloomed ever since."<br />

Her brother said, "I'm inspired by many of Jodie's qualities. For one, she never passes up an opportunity to smile.
Throughout all the stresses in her life, Jodie always found something
to smile about. Additionally, Jodie is accepting of people, regardless
of their flaws, and she finds something special in everyone. These
qualities are the reason I look up to Jodie, for they are qualities that I
certainly aspire to, but don't come as naturally to me, or most people for that matter. When Jodie met Adam, I immediately noticed how right there were for each other, but I couldn't put my finger on what made them so similar. I have come to learn that it's these qualities; the ability to find something to laugh about when nobody else can, to find the good in people where it may not be so apparent, that Adam and Jodie share. As I witness the beginning of this marriage between Jodie and Adam today, I'm left knowing that these virtues and this kind of love make life most worth living and most worth sharing with others." <br />
<br />
<br />
Every word they said is true. They are a joyful, loving, honest, silly (watch during their photo session, it's too cute) and sweet couple. Now that you know a little more about Jodie and Adam, here is a preview of their wedding film, which hopefully displays some of their wonderful qualities.<br />

<br />
Jodie and Adam not only share love for each other, but also love for family and friends, nearly constant laughter and good hearts; a perfect recipe for a lifelong marriage.<br />
<br />
Congratulations Jodie + Adam!<br />

Alicia and Eric are cute as a button and their love is abundantly apparent and completely infectious. They have known each other since they were kids, but you'd think they've only been together for a short time when you look at them. This is the type of love that lasts forever! <br />

As they grew older, they dated, went to prom together and became engaged. They were married on a rainy Fourth of July day at The Church of St. Denis in Hopewell Junction. Their ceremony was personal and sweet and it was topped off with their emotional vows and adorable first kiss. Just look at how happy they are in that moment when you watch the video clip.<br />

<br />
Their wedding day celebration continued at The Thayer Hotel in West Point, which was elegantly dressed in candlelight and sparkle (mainly from the gorgeous candelabras). Subtle hints of the holiday were found everywhere; the bridesmaids wore blue, the groomsmen wore star spangled socks, the tables were dressed with blue runners and their signature drink was a blue colored "Uncle Sam-tini".<br />

<br />
Guests had fun and let loose on the dance floor all night long! Donnie and Jenny of Your Event Matters supplied the tunes that keep them dancing. When the evening ended, they brought out sparklers to share with their guests to celebrate the Fourth of July and a beautiful wedding day that no one will forget, especially Eric. His birthday was the next day, a guarantee that he will never forget a wedding anniversary.<br />

Some couples want to end the party with a love song to keep the mood romantic, so they choose songs like "What a Wonderful World" ""At Last" or "Wonderful Tonight".<br />
<br />
Other couples use the lyrics of the song to send the message that this is indeed the last song of the night by choosing songs like "Last Dance", "Save the Last Dance" or "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)".<br />
<br />
Then there are participation songs that people sing along and dance with that keep the energy high, send a sweet message or allow everyone, young and old, to get involved like "Don't Stop Believin", "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" or "Theme form New york, New York"<br />
<br />
One thing to note; when you decide to end your reception with the song "(I've had) The Time of My Life" from the movie "Dirty Dancing", there is a certain expectation. Regardless of how dangerous or impossible performing a lift while wearing a wedding dress seems, guests get giddy with anticipation that the couple will suddenly transform into Baby and Johnny and WOW them with a show stopping lift in the center of the dance floor. Trust me on this. They're all thinking it and hoping for it.<br />
<br />
<u>NOBODY PUTS BABY IN THE CORNER</u><br />
<br />
Here are some video examples of what we typically see at weddings that end with (I've Had) The Time of My Life".<br />

Not to be outdone, Kristy and Stephen give the crowd a sweet little lift and adorable pose. They were kind of pressured into it, but you'll see. </div>

Laura + Hector got married at the <a href="http://www.paramountcountryclub.com/" target="_blank">Paramount Country Club</a> on a day that we weren't sure was going to be beautiful and sunny or cloudy and wet. Mother Nature made up her mind moments before the ceremony was about to begin. The skies cleared and the ceremony was aglow in warm sunset tones just as Laura made her way to the ceremony with her Dad. The clouds continued to clear as they spoke their vows, which made for a gorgeous backdrop for an already beautiful ceremony.<br />

Laura found us through her brother and sister-in-law, Erin and Mike, whose wedding we filmed in 2010. We were so excited to be asked to film another wedding with this wonderful family! We get so close to our couples and their families in the process of filming and editing a wedding that when we met with Laura, it was like meeting up with a friend you hadn't seen in a while to talk about the best thing ever. Her wedding! She said they were going for rustic and modern elegance with personal touches. We talked about all the details; the gorgeous gardens for her ceremony, personal details she wanted to incorporate, her colors and her flowers, all of which were, by the way, totally amazing. Below are stills of some of the details.<br />
<br />

<br />
The ceremony space was set up with chairs positioned to face a beautiful mountain view. The couple would take their place at the top of an incline to be seen by all the guests. Brightly colored flowers were placed on either side of the incline as well as in little vases hung from the chairs on the aisle. Sweet rustic signs were everywhere. One sign greeted guests directing them where to go and another sign, "This is How Our Story Begins", met them when they reached the ceremony location. Our favorite sign was the one brought in by the ring bearer and his entourage letting Hector know that Laura was on her way.<br />

Whenever I'm asked for advice on how to make a wedding memorable, I
always say to make it personal. Tell your story. Show off your
personality. Share with your guests who you are as a couple. It's all
the personal details that your guests notice and what makes them
remember your wedding. Laura did just that! <br />
<br />

<br />
Both Laura and Hector are sports fans. In fact, they met at a place called
Green Rock on a Sunday Funday. The Cowboys had just lost a game and Laura noticed a guy that was taking the loss pretty badly. Finding the moment kind of funny, she did what she always does, snap a picture. Hector noticed the pretty girl that had just taken his picture and walked over to talk to her. To make a long story short; Laura is a Giants fan and Hector is a
Cowboys fan. Hector is not a fan of the Yankees, but Laura is. Early
on, they each decided that they would not root against each other's
teams. What happened the year they met? Both teams had a great season.
The Yankees won the World Series and the Cowboys won their division and
first playoff game since 1996. These two are a match made in sports
heaven.<br />

They took their love of sports and incorporated it into their table numbers. Each table had a photo of a favorite athlete from a variety of sports with a description to share a story with the guests. The Tony Romo card was our favorite, by far. The description is personal and comical showcasing the sense of humor of this sweet couple. By the way, Laura isn't hugging Tony Romo in the photo above. That is Hector donning the jersey of his current favorite athlete. So adorable! <br />

The guests were greeted at the start of cocktail hour with mason jar mugs filled with their signature cocktail, "Happily Ever After", a tropical drink made with pineapple vodka and club soda with a fresh slice of kiwi to garnish.<br />
<br />
Wanting to encourage her guests to dance, Laura put an appropriate sign
at her escort card table. It worked! She also found some great ways to incorporate
their new home, Arizona, into the wedding. Each guest received a
succulent to take home. <br />

We just loved Laura's bold color choices for her wedding and were excited to see them come to life! Fall weddings usually bring brown, orange, red and other fall tones. Laura wanted to liven things up with a brighter pallet of purple, orange, hot pink and white. She had told me that some people were skeptical that the colors would work together, but when she told me what they were, I knew that she had a winning combination and I couldn't wait to see how it would look. She was so excited when she received the photos from her florist's mock up centerpiece that she forwarded it to me. That made me even more excited to see them in person. The florist surprised her by adding the most beautiful
reddish-purple toned succulents to her bouquet. I was obsessed with this bouquet! It's my favorite bouquet to date, and it has some amazing competition, but her's was so vibrant, interesting and unexpected that it was a total stand out! I couldn't resist getting a shot with the rings in those succulents.<br />

The reception space was washed in purple light to match the primary
wedding color. The accent colors of orange, hot pink and white were
present in the centerpieces giving a dramatic pop of color to each table. A
combination of tea light candles and warm ambient reception light helped to
complete the modern and romantic look.<br />

To keep the guests entertained, Laura and Hector had a photo booth with tons of props, which was visited by everyone, including her grandmother.<br />
<br />
By far the best takeaway from this wedding for any couples planning their wedding is to be tech savvy. Your guests will bring their cameras and, most of the time, you never get to see the photos they took. Laura thought ahead and set up a hashtag for the wedding and encouraged her guests to Instagram the photos they took.<br />

We are so lucky that we get to film so many weddings within the same family or the same group of friends! Loren and Dan came to us from one of our most favorite groups of friends. These girls are all so incredibly sweet and such a super fun group to be around. Their weddings are all unique to the girls and their styles, but the one thing they all have in common is that each wedding is always so much fun and such a blast to film! This wedding was no exception! <br />

When we got the email from Loren that she was getting married, we were very excited for her. We'd come to know her and the girls so well that it felt like hearing from a friend. From the moment we met with her and Dan, we could feel the energy and love between them instantly. There was a noticeable change in Loren from the girl that we knew from her friend's weddings. She was still sweet, happy and beautiful, it was just enhanced by Dan. They are a perfect compliment to each other. When they left the meeting, I remember commenting to Mike how cute they were together and then promptly emailed Loren to tell her that Dan was a keeper! You'll see for yourself in the video clip. Whenever they are near each other, there is such a look of love and complete happiness on their faces! <br />

Isadora and Troy were married on a beautiful summer day on her family's gorgeous property here in the Hudson Valley. It was such a joy to film them! They were so easy going and had so much fun the whole day. Most importantly, you can see how very much in love they are every time they look at each other. It makes your heart melt and puts a smile on your face! You'll see when you watch their clip below! The sweetest thing for me was when Troy said "I Do" before he was supposed to during the ceremony. The guy was eager to be married and there's no harm in that! <br />
