Bride and Groom with Model A car at vineyard

Bride and Groom walking through vineyard

Soul mates.  …that is what Chris and Michele are.  When you meet them, you immediately feel the ease between the two of them, you feel their love for each other, their love for family and friends, and a connection that has been there for many lifetimes.

And on this incredibly beautiful June day, Chris and Michele were married at the Aurora Cellars Terrace.  They took their time planning their wedding, ensuring it captured their entire vision.  From the Model A Car, to the beautiful Wellington Inn, incredible florals by Bloom, a beautiful watercolor painting by Silver Fox Calligraphy during the ceremony, and the vintage china and silverware they have been collecting for over a year, they created their dream wedding day at Aurora Cellars.

Surrounded by their loved ones, they said “I Do” on the terrace of the vineyard.  They included a “Unity Ceremony” that consisted of eating the spices of life…and while the flavors were quite strong, they finished it up with chocolate and a kiss.  Their celebration was lovely and wonderful: diner in the tent with dancing and couches around the fireplace.  They even had some incredibly helpful groomsmen carry a very heavy vintage couch into the field for sunset photos.

Chris and Michele, I hope you had nothing short of an incredible wedding celebration.  And I wish you many more years together celebrating your love.  Much love, Rayan.
