As fitting for a wedding, the bride describes it best:
I would describe our wedding as classic – with a twist. While we opted out of “classics” like a cake cutting, bouquet and garter toss (they only pause the party) but we were all about classic dresses, tuxes, an old-time venue and oldies music to cut a rug to! We wanted our colors to be timeless, classic and crisp. We also wanted our venue to withstand the test of time and a museum was the perfect way to do that. While we had looked at other larger museum venues the Anderson House provided the grandiose look while still being intimate enough for the relatively small 110 person wedding we wanted.Both of our families love to celebrate and that means great food, great music, a great place to meet up and — most importantly — all of your best people surrounding you! Ross and I have never been without support and love from our friends and family so we viewed this wedding as an opportunity to thank the most important people in our lives for what we knew would be the best day ever. It started with welcome gifts of champagne, wine and our fave snacks, continued with a few wedding necessities (ceremony…) and then on to cocktail hour, dinner and dancing and completing the evening with more food, drinks, and music at the Fairfax.The night Ross asked me to marry him he also surprised me with our best friends and family and disguised it as a surprise birthday party for me so we could share the news together. I wanted to re-live that special night — this time with a bit more style — and we both felt like we accomplished this. What made the day extra special and memorable was the outpouring of love – the perfectly executed party was just a plus.
