We LOVE Jamie & Keri! They were truly so awesome to work with and we continue to have a great relationship! They came to us from
Scott & Trisha whose wedding was in September of 2008! I can clearly remember our first meeting with Keri…we all clicked right away! Keri knew from the get go exactly what look she was wanting for her FABULOUS wedding!
We were fortunate enough to help Jamie & Keri plan and coordinate their rehearsal dinner and wedding! They really wanted to make a weekend out of their celebration so they chose the BEAUTIFUL location of Brown County (Nashville, Indiana).
We had a fairly early morning on rehearsal day! While Keri and her girls were getting pampered my mom, aunt Glenda and I were hanging various shades of pink paper balls from the gazebo ceiling at the awesome
Hotel Nashville! Even though set up took most of the day the end result was BEAUTIFUL and we had one happy bride so that made it all worth it! The rehearsal dinner looked FABULOUS and the food and staff were AWESOME! It was a great start to the weekend!
Wedding day was here and set up at
Salt Creek Golf Retreat began at 8:00am! We put on all of the linens and chair covers and tied all of the double sashes on each chair! While we were working hard setting up the wedding Jamie and his guys were having a wonderful time golfing and Keri and her girls were getting pampered with BEAUTIFUL hair and makeup!
Jamie and Keri decided to see each other prior to walking down the aisle (which is a FABULOUS idea because it helps take the nerves away and allows all of the couple, wedding party and family photos to be completed ahead of time so that everyone can enjoy the entire wedding day experience). Their photographer (
Jason Lavengood & his wife, Chrissy) had gotten through most of the pictures and were in the middle of taking family photos when we saw an ambulance pull into the resort. We were all concerned but thought it was for another group only to find out that it was Keri’s aunt! She had missed a step and broke her kneecap! So needless to say that put a bit of a damper on the day
But as they say…the show must go on so we got all of the attendants in place and guests began arriving. We were blessed with a truly GORGEOUS day and a BREATHTAKING view overlooking the golf course! Angie Kenley with
Bokay Florist did an AWESOME job with the ceremony decor! Guests were greeted with the BEAUTIFUL sounds of the harp played by
Jan Aldridge. Once all of the guests were seated it was time for the processional! Keri and her dad, Tim, walked down to “Don’t Want To Miss A Thing” (1st Verse) By Aerosmith played on the harp! Ahh…it was BEAUTIFUL!
Jamie and Keri wanted to surprise their guests so as soon as the officiant (Keri’s aunt) said, “Jamie, you may kiss your bride,”
Circle City Pyrotechnics set off FIREWORKS! It was perfectly timed and made for a BEAUTIFUL picture! I must admit that it scared the guests at first because it is a loud boom but everyone LOVED the 10 minute fireworks show! Once the fireworks show was over all of the guests lite their sparklers in a grand exit for Jamie & Keri!
Once the guests rows were released they made their way into the ballroom for bridal party introductions and dinner! Once dinner was over Jamie & Keri cut the cake and listened to three AWESOME toasts! Keri’s dad’s (Tim) toast was so heart felt and their wasn’t a dry eye! Jamie & Keri shared their first dance to “My One and Only Love” by Louis Armstrong. We switched it up and had Jamie & his mom do their mother/son dance first because Keri & her dad had a huge surprise for everyone! While Jamie & his mom danced Keri’s dad changed his clothes and Keri got out of her wedding dress and changed clothes! Once Jamie & his mom completed their dance Keri’s dad and Keri made their way onto the dance floor! The song “Boom Boom Pow” began and so did their CHOREOGRAPHED dance! Yep…they had a hip hop choreographer choreograph a dance for them! They did so AWESOME! It was so fun to watch them and to see everyone crowd the dance floor! It was AMAZING! And yes, once Keri was done with her dance she changed back into her wedding dress
Towards the end of the evening their photographer set up his laptop and put a ”best of” slideshow together for all of the guests to view! It was a huge hit!
Every single guest had a FABULOUS time at this wedding! Everything looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We only had one little hiccup (besides Keri’s aunt falling)…Jamie & Keri’s wedding was on the same night that The Little Opry burned down and because of all of the water that was being used to fight that fire we had NO WATER all evening! Other than that everything was AWESOME and we were so very lucky and blessed to have worked with Jamie & Keri!
Here are the FABULOUS vendors who helped us pull this AWESOME wedding together…
