What better way to celebrate the end of August and Labor Day weekend than getting married to the love of your life and partying the night away with friends and family at this Manchester Country Club Wedding! That is exactly what Angelica and Brian did and it could not have been more perfect.
I met them at the Manchester Country Club in New Hampshire and I was thrilled to see them again. Upon arriving, I noticed how beautiful the property was. With its sprawling ground and manicured lawn, many golfers were out and about, enjoying the weather. It was overcast, with the sun occasionally poking through. The ceremony space was located outside on the terrace and had a beautiful view of the expansive golf course.
Angelica looked stunning- she was wearing a romantic lace robe with silk pajamas. Her beautiful thick hair was being curled and her make-up was done. Everyone was calm, cool and collected. The bridal suite was full of her favorite people and they all seemed to be enjoying the morning. Angelica shared that she was really nervous but I knew those nerves would disappear the minute she saw Brian at their first look. While she finished getting ready, a huge bouquet of flowers was delivered to the room, with a note from Brian that brought Angelica to tears.
Brian and the boys arrived a little later and they arrived in style. They were dressed in sport jerseys, shades and carrying their tux over their shoulder, they were “game day ready”. I am obsessed with this trend! If you have not heard of it, go on Tik Tok and search for “groomsmen game day trend”. Brian provided some neat socks for the guys to wear and to Brian’s surprise, they gifted him with one of his favorite arcade games. So sweet and thoughtful! To top it off, Angelica had surprised him with a few beautiful gifts, one of them being a surprise wedding band with a secret engravement on the inside. She shared that she hoped it would bring Brian to tears 😉
Their dog, Snape, could not attend but Brian and Angelica made sure to include him in every way possible. Pictures of him were the centerpieces of the table, there was a miniature version of him on their wedding cake, he had his own signature cocktail, and he was featured on the personal cookie favors. I love how much they love him!
The reception was such a blast…the amount of times I wanted to join everyone on the dance floor was too much. The DJ knew exactly what they were doing and played a variety of music, from Latin music, rap and hip-hop, to my favorite, a traditional Albanian dance song. I had never witnessed one before and it was amazing to watch, with many people joining and expanding the circle to cover the entire dance floor!
Angelica and Brian, I am thrilled for you both. Thank you for allowing me to capture your day.
Xo, Chelsey
