Phil & Hannah ~ October 4, 2008

So Sweet...

These two were so sweet! Their ceremony was at Lakeview Christian Church, where my mom is the church coordinator.

In the morning of rehearsal day my mom arrived early to get out all of the candelabras, the archway, the unity candle table, the podiums, etc. A little later, Hannah and her family and bridesmaids arrived to decorate the youth center where the ceremony took place. Kelly (Flowered Occasions) also came and placed tulle and bows down the aisle. Once decorating was complete, everyone went home to change and later returned for the rehearsal!

Wedding day came and the girls began their day getting their hair and make-up done. All of the wedding party arrived at their designated times (making sure that Phil and Hannah didn't see each other) and everything went according to plan from there on! Phil and his guys ate some food that Hannah's mom provided for everyone, got dressed, got their boutonnieres pinned on and then had lots of photos taken by Britton (The Perfect Shot). Once the guys photos were complete we put them back in their hangout room and then it was Hannah and her girls turn!

Once photos concluded we put Hannah and her girls in their hangout room and we lit all of the candles (probably 100+ candles) and dimmed the lights! It was then time for the ushers to seat the guests. The guests were serenaded by piano music played by one of Hannah's bridesmaids.

Once all of the guests were seated it was time to seat the grandparents and then the parents. Pastor Burks, Phil and his groomsmen entered following the lighting of the unity candle and then it was time for Hannah's bridesmaids to make their way down the aisle. The ring bearers were Hannah's twin nephews and they were pulled down in a wagon by Hannah's brothers. Then, the guests rose and Hannah and with her father, Barney, made their way down the candlelit aisle to Phil.

The atmosphere was total ROMANCE! Everything looked gorgeous and there were some really special moments during the ceremony. Two of Hannah's bridesmaids sang a worship song followed by a prayer circle led by a family friend. It was very unique and a very nice touch to the ceremony.

Following the recessional, Hannah and Phil along with their parents formed a receiving line to greet all of their guests. Once all of the guests had been greeted it was time for more photos and then they were off to their reception.

Vendors who made Phil and Hannah's day amazing:

  • Lakeview Christian Church ~ It is such an AMAZING church with such amazing people!
  • Pastor Steve Burks ~ He has been a longtime friend of Phil's and he was nice enough to travel from his home in Kentucky to officiate this wedding
  • Flowered Occasions ~ Kelly and her team did a good job with the tulle, bows, boutonnieres, corsages, and bouquets
  • The Perfect Shot ~ Britton was very nice and easy to work with. She took lots of photos!
