Laura and Ryan’s love story began on a picturesque summer day, much like the one they chose for their wedding at the historic Eisenhower House in Rhode Island. As they stood on the beautifully manicured lawn, overlooking the breathtaking views of Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay, they knew they had found the perfect venue to celebrate their special day. The stately mansion, once the summer White House of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, exuded elegance and sophistication, setting the tone for a truly unforgettable wedding.

Introductions Begin

Shortly after 6 pm, guests were invited to make their way under the tent in preparation for the formal introduction of the bridal party. As soon as we got the "go-ahead" from the wedding coordinator, we asked the guests to put their hands together as we started the formal introductions of the bridal party. Finally, Laura and Ryan made their way into the tent grandly as their guests stood and cheered. They immediately went into a beautifully choreographed first dance. Boston Premier prepared a special arrangement of their song, Crazy Love, by Van Morrison for that special moment.

Between the salad course and the main entree, we heard a heartfelt welcome speech from the bride's father. The best man and maid of honor followed up with their thoughtful toasts.

After dinner, Laura and Ryan performed a traditional cake-cutting ceremony and then took a moment to take a group photo with their classmates from Providence College. They also thanked their guests for joining them and sharing their special day. With the evening's formalities taken care of, we partied like crazy for the rest of the night.
