Wedding Talents, Thank You!










Our wedding cake was designed and created by a dear friend of ours, Brian LaFlamme. He made our cake a focal point at our wedding. Thanks for making our dream cake Brian! Especially, all those cherry blossoms!

Our wedding would not have been a success without some great friends and family offering their talents. Including Brian, we would like to thank the following for their talent contribution at our wedding:

  • Tom and Katie Branch, the wedding venue, a beautiful backyard backdrop that didn't need that much tailoring to make it the perfect wedding location.

Holly Vaccaro, wedding photographer, a great eye to capture the beauty and relationships the day offered.

Megan Carraway, wedding coordinator, though her boyfriend was moving on our wedding day; we thank you for helping Rebecca with her hair, coordinating the rehearsal, and making the transition from ceremony to reception a smooth one.

Kayleigh Manchester & Family, for being the best flowergirl without flowers. You made the wedding party complete! Debra and Chip, thank you for driving cross country so Kayleigh could have this experience.

The Henry Family, Paula, Marshall, Kristin, and Craig, for all your support leading up to our wedding day! Your assistance cleaning, setting up the reception area, and helping the rainy day blues disappear were of great help to us.

Craig, thank you for video taping our wedding ceremony and capturing great special moments throughout the day. Receiving the DVD of our wedding was the best gift ever! The scene selection, music choice, and professional quality were visible; you have a fabulous talent that both Larry and I love.

Heather Balyeat, great friend, flying in for the weekend, offering a shoulder for me to cry on when I needed to release stress, being the videographer, making sure we had everything we needed for our honeymoon in the car, and rallying the kids to decorate the car (Kristin, thank you too).

Rob Harter, pastor, for making our ceremony unique to our relationship andintimate so everyone felt like they participated. It's the best wedding I've seen! And for bringing Emma, who was doll to have. She was the perfect playmate for Kayleigh.

Raleigh and Craig Johnston, family BBQ Coordinators. The "family reunion BBQ" was great! Having the family get together before the wedding allowed us all to catch up with one another without competing with the event. And the surprise having Sarah there, was the icing on the cake. Thanks for being Rebecca's second parents away from home.
