Tanya and Michael 6/20/08

Celebrating 10 years...

When we first heard from Tanya and Michael we weren't so sure about their "event"...sorry guys, just being honest! They were "already married" and just having a party with family--fun for us, but not a wedding! Little did we know they were going to have the "event" of a lifetime! June 20, 2008 marked 10 years of the two of them together as a couple and the one year anniversary of their actual wedding...and it was time to party!

They thought of everything...they are lovers of photography and had a fun black and white theme with inernegative black and white film laced around their votive candle holders and a real photo booth (which was so cool!) from RI Photobooths. They are also lovers of wine--and they were able to have their whole wedding--ceremony to after party in the barrel room--at Newport Vineyards in Middleton, RI. It was super classy, but also really well planned...they knew that seating would be tight so they opted for fun finger foods like beef tenderloin mini bulky rolls, shrimp and chicken skewers, and mini pizzas all from Atomic Catering which is has a super nice (and very efficient) staff! They made their own sangria and sliced each and every piece of fruit and served it in old fashion pickling jars and had a yummy cookie bar where you could bag your treats to take home. They really took care of their guests and had a DJ for the first half of the night and then a phenominal band at the after party in the barrel room. I cannot say enough about these two--they are fun, loving, silly, classy and so much more, we really had a wonderful time at their "event"! Congrats you two!

Enough chatter...here are some of our favorite pictures from the day.
