The weather in the end of December was perfect for Nicole and Kent’s New Year’s Eve wedding. Savannah is not considered home for either of them, but the military brought them together and Kent chose to propose to Nicole in the most gorgeous and historic Forsyth Park. It was there where we headed for photos after their Catholic Wedding Mass at the Hunter Army Airfield Post Chapel. They were escorted from their ceremony by a classically beautiful 1938 Chevrolet Coupe. After a stroll through Forsyth, Nicole and Kent walked to Madison Square where we shot family photos and then headed to the DeSoto Hilton for their reception.
Nicole chose an assortment of white and blue flowers to make up her flower arrangements throughout the day. Susan at Colony Bay Florist did an exquisite job with the bouquet in memory of Nicole’s mom, the wrist corsages (which Nicole planned to be worry free), boutonnieres and reception table centerpieces. Jeff Brown of All About You DJs rocked the guests late into New Year’s Eve and candy from the yummy Savannah Candy Kitchen kept the guests’s energy high all night.
Nicole and Kent’s family and friends traveled from all over the country to celebrate their union of marriage. Kent’s groomsmen wished them well by toasting the happy couple with a personalized Grog. Yes, I said that right, Grog – or at least I’m guessing that’s how you spell it. It’s a personalized concoction of beverages that symbolizes their past, present and future and includes a combination of malt liquor, white zinfandel, Southern Comfort, a dash of fruit punch, 7-up, life savers among other things – all poured into one bucket. It’s customary for the groomsmen to toast with it and then the bride and groom surprisingly joined in. I believe by the end of the night everyone had participated in the Grog, toasting with each other, gulping, wincing, laughing and smiling. The comments I heard throughout the evening were, “It’s not too bad!”
So, glasses raised, here’s to Nicole and Kent! May your days be full of wonder, excitement, love and happiness!
Love and Happiness
Katie
