Gemma + Jeff’s Wedding 6.26.10

This  post is wayyyyy overdue! Sorry everyone but I just receive the photos.

This wedding definitely hit close to home since it was RR’s aunt. I fell into coordinating the wedding about 1 week into the wedding. I felt bad because Gemma was so overwhelmed and still had a lot to do so I offered my services. Also, RR’s family has always been so nice and welcomed me with open arms. How can I not? Besides it’s always fun to play double duty as a guest and coordinator. The wedding was very simple but it fitted Gemma and Jeff perfectly.

Gemma glowed on her special day.

Her shoes and bling 😉

Arch and aisle decoration.

Gemma was escorted down the aisle by her sweet and adorable parents.

It was such an emotional ceremony. Almost everyone had tears in their eyes.

For the sand ceremony, Gemma’s daughter, Melanie, joined in to celebrate the blending of the family.

Since the wedding was 1 week before 4th of July, it was only proper to have the sands in the blue, white and red colors. 🙂

You may now kiss the bride…

Married! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Ancil!

During the reception, the bridesmaids surprised Gemma and Jeff with a Polynesian dance.

The cake!

The first dance as husband and wife. How tender is their look for each other!

The money dance…love their crown!

Love it when a bride and groom party it up!

Gemma and Jeff, I wish you all the happiness in the world. Your wedding was full of love and laughter. It was very special to me that you let me be part of it. Love you both dearly!
