{Gianna & Cody}

Beautiful, elegant, and so unique. I love the style of Gianna and Cody's wedding because I actually can't put my finger on a word to describe it.  Gianna's gown was so beautiful with long sleeves and an open back.  The girls wore all different jewel toned dresses and the boys were in gray suits and Cody in Navy. The guys each wore awesome super hero socks each with a cape or wings!  Cody and Gianna didn't see each other beforehand, but from behind a door Cody said a prayer to start their day with the right focus. The location has a very interesting story as well. Jake English, who was also their officiant, actually grew up on this property and then had the opportunity to purchase it and build a house here. The setting was just stunning.  Before the ceremony Gianna's dad opened the door to see her for the first time before walking her down the aisle and it was such a sweet moment.  There was a chair and a settee setup in the front. On his way up the aisle Cody's step-mom gave him a rose and he set it on the chair that had a photo of he and his mother that had passed away, the tears were definitely flowing. They did a foot washing ceremony where Pastor Jake read from John 13:14. Gianna and Cody washed each other's foot as a sign of humility, devotion, and complete surrender to each other. The reception was all outside under lanterns and stringed lights.  Vignettes with white and green florals in sliver bowls, antiques, lace overlays, and candelabra's decorated the lawn.  It was extra fun because 3 of our other couples were there, Tiffany & Phil, Mariah & Tyler, and Ryan representing for he and Moira since she had to work. It was so nice seeing them!  There was a chill in the air, but perfect for a campfire, jackets & shawls, and dancing under the stars.  Gianna & Cody exit-ed into a 1961 Vintage Rolls Royce and are enjoying their honeymoon in St. Kitts!  Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs!!! xoxoxo
