Nobue & Dennis were truly in a class of their own. Such loving, caring people who fell in love with their perfect mate. I mean honestly, too cute for words…
Nobue and Dennis were married in the Rose Garden at the Nixon Library, on a nearly perfect day in January. Their ceremony was truly unique to them, combining their Japanese and Philippino cultures, and religions. It was a joy watching the two of them in their ceremony respecting and loving each other, especially by writing their own vows, which didn’t leave a dry eye in the audience.
After their ceremony while the Bride and Groom were finishing up their pictures and videography, with the amazing Distinct Light Photography company (truly a great crew and I LOVED how their video turned out), guests sampled yummy hors d’ oeuvres from none other than White House Catering, picked up their placecards at this unique table setting…
Went to the bar to order the bride and groom’s signature drinks, and laugh at their hysterical and comical pictures of them looking like cast members from Star Wars and Body builders…
Mingled and enjoyed conversation starters selected by the Bride and Groom…
Oh, and I want to pause a moment for you to notice the lovely florals by Focal Point Flowers and mention Marlou Colina, who not only did the Bride’s hair and makeup, but he also did the flowers. And, weren’t they beautiful!?!?! Just what Nobue wanted… a great combination of soft florals, with a Japanese flair.
Now back to the reception… As the doors opened, guests were greeted with champagne, ambient music and lighting by the wonderful GEO Mobile DJ, and of course who could forget the live music by Oya, a fantastic vocalist! Wow, did she have a voice and was such a pleasure to work with… Nobue and Dennis chose such great vendors to come alongside them and make their day a dream come true…
And again, details, details, details.. things I love… from the darling favor bags with candy…
To their sweetheart table.. dreamy!
To their yummy and elegant wedding cake…
And of course, the gorgeous East Room to tie it all together!
It was a wonderful, lovely wedding. Oh, and I need to mention that I am usually not a big fan of slideshows, but Dennis and Nobue created theirs with a twist. It had the traditional pics of them with family and friends, but then they threw in a short movie clip of how the two of them “met”… it had me laughing and crying so hard! Can I just say… I LOVED IT!!!!
Thanks Dennis and Nobue for letting me shar in your special day… Many, many blessings to you both!
