Check out this bride ready for an awesome day.
You gotta applaud Rothys on the wedding day.
After a first look with her dad, everyone climbed into a limo to head to the Cookery in Durham
Jessica was positively LOVING Matt in his suit. Her reaction at the first look was priceless
These cuties need to get married ASAP…
And here’s part of the team ready to start the production.
Quiet on the set… AND ACTION…
Matt made his entrance with a cowbell. Definitely haven’t seen that before and not sure that I ever will again.
After some intros, it’s time for the next scene.
Since they were live-streaming the ceremony, they had all their family give their toasts and advice in the ceremony and it was delightful and full of laughter & tears.
And when it came time for their personal vows, Matt & Jessica had all the reactions!
But, my favorite part was when Matt went into his jacket for the rings and found a never-ending scarf instead.
And just like that, they’re married and ecstatic.
Some hellos and thank yous to the Zoom attendees and then it was time to head to the back courtyard for cocktail hour and dinner.
I loved the way the sunlight hit during Matt & Jessica’s thank you at the start of dinner.
After dinner, Jessica had one final short and sweet speech to give to Matt.
Then it was time for dancing!
When the fun lights and inflatable ball came out I was stoked!!
I’ll leave you with some colorful shenanigans of the newlyweds before they went to continue partying!
Congrats you two!!
