8.21.11 - Erie Yacht Club - Erie, PA

Looks like several months of praying for a beautiful wedding day paid off, as the clouds and rain disappeared with beautiful sunshine through the Erie area on Sunday for Heather and Chad's bayside ceremony and reception inside the beautiful Erie Yacht Club. Guests were attired casually, and the setting for the ceremony, officiated by Daniel Schultheis, couldn't have been more beautiful! Following the ceremony, guests made their way into the Yacht Club for the cocktail hour.

Once the introduction of the bridal party took place, Heather and Chad made their way to the dance floor for their bridal dance, "Marry Me" from Train, and then cut their beautiful and tasty wedding cake. Toasts from the head table then took place, followed by yours truly, sharing the details of Heather and Chad's love story. The happy couple met unexpectedly just after Christmas of 2009, and quickly fell head over heels in love. With daughter Felicity, they truly make a wonderful family!

Once the parents dances were complete, it was time for everyone to dance! Though the attendance was about 75 or so, all those attending had a great time leading up to the last dance of the night! What made the night more memorable was the fact Felicity caught the bouquet and young Devin caught the garter!

My thanks to Elizabeth, Kendra, Zack and the Erie Yacht Club staff! True professionals and so helpful in assisting everyone to ensure the day was perfect! Heather and Chad, thank you for selecting me as your entertainment host for such a fun day and evening for you! You both are very special, and it was a pleasure meeting your family members and friends. All the very best in your long lives together as a happily married couple!
