Angela.&.eric

Nov 9, 2008 Wedding
Angela & Eric's day was filled with such joy, laughter & love, love, love. the entire day took place in the beautiful city of Ann Arbor. the ladies first started with their hair & make-up at the Bell Tower Hotel & then finished getting ready at the Inn at the Michigan League. their beautiful ceremony was at the Lydia Mendelson Theater (also in the Michigan League!) & the rest of the celebration continued on in the League Ballroom! it was a day & night filled with so many great traditions, personal touches, smiles, unforgettable toasts and A-M-A-Z-I-N-G food & dancing! the John Lawrence Band was in the house & man-oh-man are they incredible! below are some of my top favorite images from the day (so hard to narrow down)! if you would like to see even more, though, be sure to check out the slideshow at the end of this post.

Angela & Eric, i really cannot express to you both enough what getting to know you better this past year has meant to me. i have thoroughly enjoyed all our chats, along with when you were in town & we were able to visit... and most definitely being able to spend the entire day with you & your loved ones on your wedding day! you both have an incredibly caring, supportive & loving family -- it is no wonder to me why two amazing, caring, supportive & loving people, such as yourselves , ended up finding each other. i wish you a lifetime of an incredible journey together. i had the best time reliving the day as i narrowed down some for your BIG sneak peek below. thank you again for your patience... i hope you enjoy!

their Ketubah was gorgeous :
the Badeken, which happens right before the ceremony, is when Eric gets to see Angela for the first time...
...the veiling of Angela by Eric during the Badeken is an ancient custom and signals Eric's commitment to protect Angela -- it is always an incredibly heartfelt & beautiful moment :
a sweet moment between Eric & Angela's father, as her parents give her away :
Angela circles Eric seven times -- 'just as the world was built in seven days, Angela is figuratively building their new world together' :
congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Ceresnie!!! yay!
i just about died when i met their dog -- talk about a super uber cutie-patootie!!!
the guys & the gals!
their bridal party was simply fantastic :
a few fun newlywed shots :
we definitely had to do some shots around the Bell Tower because Angela's great grandfather actually helped build it!! talk about AMAZING, and so very special :

the Hora was a blast!
i adore their chemistry... it is evident in everything they do :
a great candid moment caught of Eric's parents :
the cake was created by Queen of Hearts & the piece on top of the cake was actually from their grandparent's wedding cake originally (with just a little bit of polishing up done to it beforehand, of course! ) :
the rings!
can you believe the history of this ring? the engraving is from 1903!
you might remember Jonathon (on the rigth) from a previous wedding post ... here he & his best friend strike a pose -- love it! :
last, but oh so not least! how could we resist venturing outside for a few night shots in Ann Arbor?!
