Dream come true 11-14-09

Our monogram together with the color burgandy was the theme of our wedding. In the picture is an open invitation, Ceremony programs made on the computer, folded and tied with a matching ribbon, cones which were made on the computer and then just folded and filled with rose petals for our guest at the ceremony. Our dinner menu is on the upper right hand coner and the bottom right is our seating cards table. The seating cards were small envelops with the guest name on the outside and the table number on the inside card.

The bridal party had the girls in burgandy dresses holding a bouquet of circus roses, calla lillies complimented by various flowers in the red, orange color family. The boys vest and tie matched the girls.

top left is Filomena... She held the envelops our guest gave us. Bottom left is our table setting. Ivory silk table cloths with a gold overlay. The napkin is folded so that it holds the menu with an orchid accent. Cholates and mints with our monogram and wedding date were purchased through THE KNOT web site. They were a big hit. Top right coner is our table flower arrangement, warm fall colors with accented by circus roses and calla lillies. Candles wrapping upwards gave the room a wam glow.

The wedding cake was custom made for us. It was my brides vision. It had whipp cream on the outside with a design accented by gold candies. Two lower tiered cakes and in the middle a taller tiered cake each holding a letter of our monogram. Flowers filled in between each tier. Flowers from Pedistals.

Our wedding reception was the Westbury Manor. They have beautiful gardens that are especially colorful in the fall. But it rained on our wedding day and therefore we were unable to get the outside pictures that we had hoped for. We did manage to take this picture by the fountain in between the rain.

Yet again, the women on the knot prove how nasty they are. Anyone wonder why so few weddings are rated more than three hearts??? It is because these jealous b*tches have nothing better to do than give negative reviews and ratings. Grow up!

I find it comical that so many people are calling them cheaters and saying that they refreshed the page to get the most views, but I'm viewing it and not because they won. I'm viewing it because her dress it AMAZING! Congratulations on your marriage and on winning the contest.

Beautiful wedding, and i suggest you listen to Kelly Rowlands 'Shake Them haters Off'. I wish you and your husband all the best!

Really? How in the heck did this wedding win!? Out of all the drop dead gorgeous weddings on here they picked the most cookie cutter unoriginal boring boring boring wedding? I am not calling her a cheater by any means..it is not my place to do so, but, someone please explain why so many brides voted for her?

I love it! So pretty. My daughter is wanting a fall wedding this year and we are getting some ideas. Thank you for sharing the pics from your wedding.
Apr 15, 2011
I can't believe all of the negativity here. I am getting married to a wonderful, loving man this year. Our union is not about being judged, how big my ring is or what kind of cake we have. How sick some of you bridezillas are, misery loves company and that is not me......
Mar 07, 2011
A lot of these comments are very childish. I'm pretty shocked by the immaturity of it all.

Wow! Your gown is beautiful! :]

Anyone can sit there and refresh the page 100+k times when they have nothing better to do with their time. It sucks when a page on "the knot" has that much weight on your life. You are nothing but a cheater... since you couldn't win in any other category, you tried to get the most views lol pathetic

This seemed to have been a beautiful wedding. My prayer is that although it rained the bride and groom still enjoyed their family and friends and the plan to embark on a lasting marriage full of love. I don't think you won because of the appearance of your wedding, I believe you won because the love is all over your photos.
May 16, 2010
I love every single detail of your wedding! I have no idea what the "competition" is, but if it's for something good... I definitely see why you would have won. Everything is gorgeous!!!! Congratulations on the win but most importantly congratulations on your marriage!!!!!
Apr 28, 2010
wow. i think i fell in love with everything in every 1 of your pictures. congrats! this might sound a lil weird but i think i might even take some of your ideas. lol. thanks for the inspiration!

Congratulations and don't let the negative feedback get to you. We had the same negative feedback by "guest" as well in regards to winning in the "cake category." Remember, jealousy is the highest form of flattery. Have a nice glass of champagne at their expense while you're in Hawaii. Cheers and Congratulations!!

Fair enough but when some of the comments come from another finalist, well how much weight do you put on it? It's so easy to hide behind "GUEST" or any other clever name.
by Guest
Apr 07, 2010
whats up with people wanting only positive comments? the prompt by thekont is "comments? tell us what you think." people are speaking what they think.

I am sure the comments section was designed for positive exchanges and not for rants of a few people. It is sad to see that someone’s happiness makes another person so miserable. Congratulations on winning!

Congratulations on a beautiful wedding. Don't let the jealousy of a few take away from your special day.

Can we keep it positive? It's over let them enjoy the win. Why must everyone be so negative.
