The Perfect Wedding

I had the privilege of working with the perfect wedding this past weekend.
The bride was an absolute sweetheart, the groom in love with his bride and the family all adorable. The venue was the Coralville Marriott and they were certainly on top of everything. I had time to enjoy dinner at this event; that rarely ever happens!

So what made this wedding so perfect?
Well, the fact that the bride was gracious and kind certainly helped.
The fact that the groom is in love with his bride and trusted her to plan a beautiful wedding helped.
Both families got along, were kind and friendly; not bossy or commanding in the least, not to mention very appreciative of everything certainly went a long way to making my job easier.
The fact that the venue was on top of everything at the precise hour, had impeccable service, was friendly and nice, was helpful and accommodating, and was expert and professional in everything they did certainly made for an enjoyable evening for all.

I spite of all that I mentioned above, these facts alone did not make for a perfect wedding. So what did?

The fact that the bride and groom took each other by the hand and visited with each and every guest as they went to each table to have their picture taken with all of their guests makes this one the perfect wedding. Can you just imagine how each guest felt that they were individually thanked for coming and then asked to take their picture with the bride and groom. WOW!

That is the wow factor--the very thing that sets their wedding apart from everyone else's event. The very thing that made each guest go away with love and good feelings in their heart. The very thing that makes each guest feel very close to this couple and will let others know of the wonderful event they attended on Saturday evening.

That is the perfect wedding!
