Kris and Adrian a very genuine, fun, lovable, adventurous pair, wanted their wedding to represent both of them as individuals as well as a couple.They envisioned spending their wedding day with those most important to them, those closest to their hearts, many whom traveled near, some from out of state, and even as far as Romania! The plan was to deviate from the traditional wedding to a more modern, simple yet beautiful celebration. Located on the Tacoma waterfront, we transformed the private residence of Kris's parents' home to allow for their garden ceremony and backyard reception. Our couple chose to have a more intimate ceremony, performed by Kris's best friend, surrounded by only their immediate families and a couple of their dearest friends. With a few happy tears, and lots of laughs, their sweet and meaningful ceremony was sealed with a kiss and followed up with a celebratory champagne toast from the father of the bride. Shortly after, Kris and Adrian's friends would be arriving to celebrate the newlyweds for a more leisurely, relaxing evening together. Cheer-sing over the many delicious wines from all over the world, sampling the array of heavy appetizers, taco bar, and mini cupcakes, the best was yet to come! As the night came to an end, Kris, Adrian and their guests moved inside of the home for all to enjoy one of the biggest and most memorable grand exits. Forget the sparklers, instead the skies opened up, and displayed one of the most amazing light shows with over 1200 strikes, the largest lightning storm in Washington State history! You could say Kris and Adrian's special day definitely ended with a bang!
