Alli and Ben’s wedding day took place on the most beautiful Fall day here in New Hampshire. Having traveled from the West Coast to celebrate with their family and friends, it was extra special Alli and Ben got to enjoy the crisp coziness of a September wedding day at The Rivermill in Dover, NH. Alli and Ben weren’t the only ones who traveled coast to coast for their wedding – I have never been to a wedding that had so many guests from so many parts of the country! The guest list was just one example of how special this couple is to so many people and how loved and supported they are by their friends and family, near and far!
Alli and Ben had a Pacific Northwest theme which was weaved into the many details of their day. My favorite was a map that served as a seating chart/table name with stories about the many adventures they have taken throughout their years of dating. Their guys book was an at last that they asked guests to sign leaving a note on places they’ve traveled and enjoyed. There were so many personal touches throughout their day!
Alli and Ben wrote and shared their personal vows in a beautiful ceremony officiated by their close friend. Their ceremony was filled with lots of laughs and tears from both the couple and their guests! I am always so amazed when an officiant and couple are able to share their journey and love story so eloquently through their wedding ceremony and vows.
A beautiful cocktail hour was hosted outside followed by Alli and Ben’s family sharing heartfelt and personal speeches to kickoff their reception. After a delicious meal, the dance floor was open and this crowd of friends and family got the party started! Every generation joined in on the dance floor – both of Alli’s grandparents as well as her 7 week old cousin!
It was such an honor to be part of Alli and Ben‘s wedding day! They are one of those couples who were clearly made for each other, and this was apparent throughout their day! Congratulations you two! I can’t wait to see where life’s adventure takes you next!
