Featured Wedding: The Storybook Wedding of Ron and Machele

"Once upon a time, a beautiful Princess met her Prince Charming and together they decided to live Happily Ever After..."

On April 17th, Machele Mullery was wedded to her prince, Ronaldo Parfort, in a sunset ceremony fit for royalty. 

The ceremony took place under beautiful white arches adorned with white calla lilies and draped in claret swags.  The claret aisle runner that led the Blushing Bride to her Prince, made her stunning dress showcase the Bride's true beauty. 

Her bridal party was elegant and sexy in their strapless gowns with a beautiful hair piece to match made by Marla Marx.  The men equally as handsome in their tuxes.

The couple was surrounded by their friends as they exchanged their vows to one another.  With the humor and jokes from Bride, Groom, and wedding party as well as the guests it was apparent this was a close group. 

After the ceremony, guest were greeted in the Little Gatsby Hall where music and dancing commenced as the wedding photos were finished up.  Guest enjoyed champagne as they viewed trinkets such as an infamous rubber duck and a guest book donning Ron and Machele's engagement photo. 

Ron and Machele's first dance, as husband and wife, was a tender moment as they danced to Bush's Glycerine. 

  

After the traditional cake cutting and garter/bouquet toss; the couple danced into the night with their guests as they began their "Happily Ever After."

A special thank you to The Hitchin' Post's newest photographer, Kali Reverie for photographing the wedding and providing these breath taking shots for the couple and our blog!
