I only met Janna and Kai in person on their wedding day, I had talked to them so much about the planning, I couldn’t wait to see all the fun things they had planned in person – nothing but cocktail food, cupcakes, the bride singing a song (she wrote!!) to the groom, and of course…a pinata!

Their rabbi had them back to back during the ketuba signing, it was a really lovely ceremony.

They wrote their own vows...

After the ceremony, we did some pictures in the Great Room. It was really funny, because right after their wedding, American Idol was on with the Boston auditions (not that I watch it or anything...) and they had the judges set up right where we did the formals!

Yummm...........cutting into the cupcake tower!

They had such funky flowers, I have never seen roses like this before! Apparently, the roses are injected with the dye. And I just love forte tea...this pictures is straight-up for my sister Sue, my number one blog-stalker and also a big fan of forte tea!

Here's another first...the favors were cookbooks that Janna and Kai put together - "Our relationship in Food". I took a quick peek - I love stuff like that!

Candy from the pinata....does anyone really like Bit-O-Honeys?

Congratulations and welcome to Boston, Janna!! So happy that you two are finally together!

Lauren and Peter thought they would keep it simple and have their wedding at home. This works out well, especially when you live in Longwood Towers!! They had a rainy, cool November night…which is just fine when you are ensconced in such a cozy place.

Meghann started off with the guys…

I was with the ladies....hel-LOOOOOOOO fabulous purple shoes and feathery purse!!!

The best part of the ceremony was when the officiant gave Lauren a line of her vows and she didn't respond. She was taking a moment to compose herself...he started to repeat the line and she says "Oh I heard you!". Classic.

A quick private moment right after coming down the aisle. I didn't want to intrude....so I just hung out around the corner.

The groomsmen performing a Brady Bunch routine for me....

Lauren surprised Peter by singing to him right after they got introduced - At Last by Etta James. Now, I have a super soft spot for that song because it was my first dance, and she did an amazing job.

A few pictures by yours truly by the guest book....

Scott from Murray Hill had no trouble getting everyone out on the dance floor!

Congratulations!!!

Hello everyone! I’m so excited to finally share some images from Anna & Matt’s very elegant, but supremely fun at the same time wedding day in Salem. The ceremony and reception were at the Peabody Essex Museum. We started at the hotel as everyone was getting final touches….
I was having total hair envy….her hair looked amazing…

We did all of their pictures before hand in the courtyard behind the museum, so pretty. Flowers by Fino Fresh.

I just love all the old buildings in the background.

Anna and Matt didn’t want any distractions during the ceremony, so we kept a super low-profile.  They said they didn’t notice us once!  

Apparently, Anna is obsessed with dessert (girl after my own heart).  On the menu, it said “Cake!”.   Here it is, before slicing looking lovely, compliments of Icing on the Cake. Yummy food by Vinwood Caterers.

I hope Matt isn’t mad at me for posting this, but I absolutely LOVE this picture!  Dancing is hard….

Found this book in the museum…get it?  Anna and Matt?

I am loving the twirly dresses this year.

Paul Natale kept the dance floor hopping, even played Sea Legs by the Shins during cocktail hour, sweet! (and theme appropriate in the East Marine Hall)

OK, so these folks asked if I would take their picture.  They called it the “time of your life” picture.  You face away from the camera, and then at the last second turn around and hey!  you’re having the time of your life!  Now, my dad did the same thing at a cookout this summer, he said someone had heard about it in California.  Could someone please tell me where this originated?  I’m dying to know.  $10 itunes gift card to the first person who can tell me.

And the bride got Rick Roll’d! I TOLD you this wedding was supremely fun!

Congratulations you two! I hope your honeymoon was awesome!

**update**

I’m STILL waiting to hear about the “time of your life” picture!!!
