Time for the party! Mike and Roxanne’s friends and family really knew how to have a good time!  Here are some glimpses of the decor elements of the reception.  For their table assignments, they used album covers instead of table numbers!

Weddings are a celebration and these folks celebrated like champs!  I love the photo of Mike and Roxanne dancing (her feet are off the ground)…SO cute!  And I especially love the photo of the little girl standing at the doorway…. unbelievably adorable and a great shot by David Crane Photography.

Mike and Roxanne had a very lovely story.  They were great friends throughout high school, but afterwards they had gone their separate ways.  Then one day, they managed to find their way back to each other (thanks to the power of the internet).  To hear Mike talk about Roxanne and their kids is something special.

Not only did Mike have his vows for his lovely bride, but he also prepared “vows” for the two kids. This had to have been one of the most touching moments I’ve ever seen. I don’t think there was a dry eye to be found.

I had the joy of helping Mike and Roxanne realize their wedding dreams at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort back in May of this year.  This was a really special wedding for me because I work with Mike on a regular basis for my corporate events.  So being able to help him and his lovely bride was truly an honor.  And after hearing all the great stories about him and Roxanne (and the way he sweetly talks about her) I couldn’t wait for the big day!

After going through all the wonderful photos from David Crane Photography, I had too many that I loved!  So there will be multiple posts of this wedding!

Today, we start with details prior to the ceremony!

His

Mike and Roxanne’s son is perhaps the cutest Best Man I have ever seen!  And had it not been for the lovely bride, we would have stolen the show!

Hers

Seeing a bride on her wedding day as excited as Roxanne was, is always refreshing!  She was exuberant, happy and such a joy to work with!
