Wow! What to say about Emily and Ricky. They are fantabulous. I love hanging out with them. Allison Gaetano, who I worked with when she was a planner with Lindsay Landman Events, introduced us. From the moment I walked into their apartment, I knew we were going to have fun. I am not even sure if we talked about the wedding because there were so many other things to talk about. Emily is gorgeous, sweet and a big tomboy. Ricky is handsome, sweet and likes to play devil’s advocate. He also has a great sense of humor. They both love playing video games, tennis, board games and super competitive. They compliment each other really well.
Ricky’s cousin knew Emily and thought she’d be perfect for Ricky and vice versa. The cousin was right. I absolutely love listening to the toasts during receptions because you learn so much about the couple. Emily’s mom talked about when Em first met Ricky. The voice message she left was giddy, high pitched and she wouldn’t shut up about him. Ricky’s friend said he wouldn’t stop smiling and talking about her . They pretty much did that on the wedding day too.
The details and the moments between them, their family and friends were really beautiful. Allison did an amazing job of designing and coordinating their wedding all the while being maid of honor and a soon to be mommy!
Here is the first of 3 parts. Yes, I think the details deserve their own post and of course all the loveliness that is Emily and Ricky and their friends and family.

These place cards are really cool because they are wooden plates with scrabble pieces as the stand. The scrabble piece completed each guests first name at their seat. I told you they love games!
Emily glowing and smiling as Ricky signs the ketubah
Emily cheering about the ring bearer making it down the aisle. I think he was 4 and very excited about being in the wedding.
Ricky’s best friend made the Chuppah himself. I love the use of actual branches that he found at the summer home they share.
