BRIAN & ANNIE : WEDDING AT THE BETTY H. RECKAS CULTURAL CENTER

I’m so excited to finally share with you, Brian & Annie’s wedding from this past Saturday. These two are the nicest two people you’ll ever meet and after meeting their wonderful family and friends, it was just the icing on the cake. Not only did they have an amazing wedding, but they truly made their family, friends and guests feel like a part of it. Did I mention they dated as long as Helen and I have? Anyhow, their wedding was full of thoughtful and meaningful details and we were more than excited to be a part of it. So Brian & Annie, have a wonderful time on your honeymoon cruise and thanks for making the day so special for everyone!
