Most of the weddings we do are for people who aren’t married.
Teresa and Kenny have both been married for 40 years – to each other. But because they did not have the kind of wedding they wanted to have, they wanted to have a nice ceremony and reception to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary.
We were involved early on with this wedding. They first asked us to make mintbooks for them… these things are pretty cute since they are shaped like a matchbook but have a large Life Savers mint inside. The outside printing is customized, this time with their names and wedding and anniversary date, along with a Bible verse they both live by.
We took a portrait for the mint books, which they also used as the picture to go inside their signature mat. The signature mat was at their reception and was signed by most of their guests and family members.
The wedding was wonderful. Three beautiful songs (one by the couple’s grandson), some Bible readings and a lovely service made the ceremony perfect.
We took some formal pictures after that, and they headed off for the reception. They didn’t want any coverage at the reception, so we left them after they were in the limo.
We will continue to work with Teresa and Kenny for their album and photo selections. They are a terrific couple, and I have enjoyed every moment with them.
