Go ahead, I’ll wait up here…Back? Ok now do you see what I mean?

And if that wasn’t enough to keep you dreaming of pretty (and maybe wiping a few tears) until the clock strikes 5 PM, check out this fabulous video from red Bicycle Media

From the Bride…Our day began on my late father’s Lyman, a 1966 Sportsman out on Lake Erie.  It was actually my first ride.  Considering the significance of our outing, it was a very emotional little journey.  This is where our Sand Ceremony took place, where we spread my father’s ashes over the water while his favorite musician, Bob Marley, was playing in the background.  It was one of the many ways I was able to have him there with Matt and me on our special day.

After our boat ride, we met James of Red Bicycle Media and Lauryn Byrdy, our inspiring photographer, on a little patch of sand and rocks by the water.  It was a perfect way for us to get away and enjoy one relaxing moment before all of the preparation began. They did their thing, snapping shots, while we sipped our Bloody Marys and chatted about the day.

Back up at the condo, all of our family was having lunch out of little boxes designed by my mom (which had the very first picture of us printed on the outside) and making sure our son, Jack, was entertained.  Since I was obviously distracted with the thoughts of my wedding day, I can only imagine my mother running around, making sure everyone was taken care of.  You see, not only did we have our wonderful “Bees” Brooke and Heather from Bee For The Day, we have my mom to thank for the tiny little details only she could come up with.  She’s one of those people that stands apart from the rest and in turn, so does her imagination.  If you could only see her ‘inspiration board’ for the wedding, you’d book her in an instant!

Fast forward a little bit and we’re on our way to the Marblehead Lighthouse where our friends and family were waiting to witness our moment.  My brother, Matt, walked me to our spot and my nephew was the one to pull our rings from his pocket.  We said our own vows, Matt from his mind and mine from a little piece of paper.  I can’t recall anything but the kiss…it was an amazing kiss.  And there we were.

    It was an absolute picture perfect day, gorgeous setting, and a glorious event!! Yes, Emily' s mother is very gifted in planning and executing incredible details and special touches for the wedding. One of my favorite and emotional moments was when the ceremony was completed, the captain of the Lyman boat tooted the boat's horn three times....yes, her Daddy was indeed there and we all felt his presence! Her wedding was an experience I will never forget....filled with such love, emotion, and amazement. It was an honor to be in attendance!

  10. Janet Schaeper says:

    Emily and Matt, it was so wonderful to share both the day before and the day of your wonderful day. Indeed your mother covered every little detail - she is awsome and my favorite little sister! When the horn on the boat sounded, I did cry as I know your dad was up there smiling down on his little girl! Stay happy!

  11. We were honored to be part of the day!!!! Mrs. H didn't miss a thing. I have not had this much fun planning a wedding EVER. The details made the wedding. So many heartfelt touches big and small. Making sure the flowers were in the Blue Ball glass jars instead of just "clear" ones to the special ties on the lunch boxes.

    Everything was perfect. Thank you again for allowing us to be your Bees for the Day!!!!

  12. Congratulations to the beautiful Bride and Groom ~ we were so happy to be a part of your special day. We loved making all of your dreams come true!

  13. Cait says:
