Sam and Jeff // Wedding

The famed Olive Garden wedding with a late night breadstick bar. Most importantly though is the celebration that Sam and Jeff threw to mark their love for each other. Tons of friends and family gathered at the church and afterwards walked their way down to the reception where they were greeted by a live band, bruschetta, ravioli, and cocktails.

Meanwhile, the wedding party made their way down to their favorite local bar, Wally’s, for a drink on the patio and to mingle. After they made their entrance into their reception, at Saugatuck Center for the Arts, the two decided to dance with all of their guests as the band played an impossible-not-to-dance-along-song. Jeff gave a welcome speech and thanked everyone for being there and asked everyone to open an envelope that was hidden under their dinner plates. All of the guests had received a pasta pass, which means unlimited Olive Garden visits for nine weeks, hoots and hollars followed.

After dinner was served and first dances were danced, Sam and Jeff led me across the street to some docks where they waved at some boats that were honking in the bay. On the way back up they spotted their friend’s boat and decided to jump on in for a prank photo moment. On the way back to their reception the two literally stopped traffic. It always amazes me how people respond to a couple in wedding wear.

I want to thank Holden Michael Events for an event well done and of course Sam and Jeff, who are two wonderful people if you have the chance to meet them.
