Centered Chef Wedding

14 May Melissa + Wesley // Centered Chef Chicago

 
 
  


Melissa and Wesley had known each other since grade school but their groups of friends never crossed paths…that was until their Junior year of high school. Melissa wanted to attend prom with her best friend and her boyfriend. Being the thoughtful person she is, Melissa wanted her best friend’s boyfriend to have a good time at prom. So, she asked his best friend (Wesley) to be her date. Melissa says they had a great time that evening. The four of them continued seeing each other throughout that Summer. Melissa and Wesley began officially dating in June.

Eight years later, Wesley proposed during a beautiful sunset at a spot the two enjoyed visiting throughout their teenage years. On that same day, Melissa bought Wesley a watch he’d been eyeing. On the back of the watch was an inscription, “Will you marry me?” Needless to say, it was a mutual proposal.

Esplanade Lakes Wedding Video

08 May Angelica + Garry // St. Matthew Parish + Esplanade Lakes

 
 
  


The beautiful part about planning a wedding is that you can customize the day around your life as a couple. Angelica + Garry’s day started out by Angelica’s family welcoming Garry and his family to a traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony. At the start of the ceremony, Garry and his groomsmen gave gifts to the bridesmaids. Both families introduced themselves and family members gave short speeches; all this while Angelica was waiting in a separate room. Adding a little fun to the day, Garry was required to complete tasks given by the bridesmaids before he could see Angelica. Garry was then given permission to see Angelica. After that, gifts were given to the couple and they gave tea to their parents.

Their wedding video trailer also features Filipino wedding traditions, which were led by His Eminence Luis Antonio G. Carinal Tagle at St. Matthew Parish in Schaumburg, Illinois.

Guests danced the night away at Esplanade Lakes by Doubletree in Downers Grove, Illinois to music by DJ Noyze with Remix Entertainment. Bridal makeup/hair by Tran B. Makeup 773-574-2440 TranBmakeup@yahoo.com.
