When I was a pre-teen (actually, still now), I LOVED '80s high school movies - in fact, I'm pretty sure Jake Ryan (ten points if you know which film that comes from) ruined me for other men. And one of my favourite things about those films and the heroes in them was what I referred to as 'the look'. You know the one, that look that the hero gives to Molly Ringwald (because it's always Molly Ringwald, right?) that says he's over the moon, head over heels, totally absorbed in her and doesn't care who knows it. Well, that's the same look that today's groom is giving his bride, and I absolutely love it - every bride wants her man to look at her the way that Vernon looks at Baryl. No wonder she shed a few tears when their eyes met at the end of the aisle. Aside from all that heartfelt love and emotion (gorgeously captured by Claire Nicola), this rustic glam monochrome wedding also happens to be full of fun, down-on-the-farm style with plenty of fairytale sparkle. Now that's some kind of wonderful.

Wedding Details
Vernon and I are a very fun loving relaxed couple who love spending time with our family and friends. We just love having a good time. We wanted our guests to be as relaxed as possible and we wanted everyone to interact with each other and have a good time. The cocktail hour was perfect for the guests to interact and got them geared up for a dance party in the evening. We even managed to get people on the dancefloor that don't normally dance :) That just made our day even more special.
