My Valentine Hearts Wedding Day
I’m an incurable romantic, and thank heavens my fiance is too. That’s why we chose Valentines Day to be our wedding day. I know most people don’t like to have their wedding on the same day as a holiday, but we were really looking forward to it. It just seemed right to celebrate our marriage on a day that is especially known for romance.
You’d really be surprised how many wedding decorations and accessories there are to go with a valentine theme. There was everything from invitations to hearts party favors, and I wanted my wedding and reception done in a romantic motif. That’s one reason hearts were just perfect.
I had an absolutely gorgeous dress and all of my bridesmaids, maid of honor and even my little flower girl, with her beautiful basket of roses, looked so elegant as they walked down the aisle. My fiance and all of the groomsmen and the little ring bearer were very handsome in their tuxedos. Of course, my fiance was extra handsome. We did everything in our ceremony the traditional way. The music, the flowers and we even made up our own vows to say. My dad gave me away, my fiances brother was his best man, and my sister was my maid of honor. Which, by the way, worked out nicely because the best man and the maid of honor seemed to hit if off quite well at the reception. There may be another wedding coming our way, in the near future.
My reception was almost as romantic as my ceremony. I chose a lovely heart shaped cake topper with two little doves to rest on top of our three tiered wedding cake. It really looked exquitsite. I had crystal champagne flutes for the toast to the bride and groom, and beautiful flowery centerpieces with little butterflies in the arrangements. I did get a lot of compliments on the reception décor, from many of our guests. At first I was a little afraid I may have gone overboard on all the heart stuff I bought, but everyone kept telling me how fantastic everything looked, so I guess I didn’t get too crazy with them. Even when it came to the wedding favors I had hearts in mind. But these really were beautiful hearts favors candles with two little silvers hearts on the holder. I liked them so much I bought a couple extra for myself.
All my guests seemed to like them. Two of the ladies at my reception thanked me for such a lovely gift, and one of them wanted to know where I bought them, so she could pick up a few extra. They really were quite adorable, and they made great place card holders too.
It wasn’t easy choosing the wedding favors for everyone. I found so many things I wanted to buy, but, you just can’t have them all. But I did pick out something special for my bridesmaids, my maid of honor and my flower girl. My fiance picked out the gifts for the groomsmen, best man and ring boy. We also got some wonderful gifts for our parents, of course, which they really seemed to appreciate.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the ceremony and some of them got to take a rose home, as a souvenir from our flower girls basket. We also had a great time at the reception, with lots of dancing, good food and lots of laughs. Maybe I did go a little crazy with the heart motif, but what can I say, I loved my valentine hearts wedding day, and the memories will last a us lifetime.
