Mary Ellen & Michael’s Wedding
The Crystal Plaza, Livingston, NJ

We started Mary Ellen and Michael’s Wedding day at The Short Hills Hilton in the Presidential Suite.  Upon arrival, we (as always) inquired how everybody was doing.  The first response, “You have to check out the toilet!”  While we have opted not to blog photos of this specific piece of porcelain, let us just say that it was worth checking out.  The thing was like a super toilet.  Buttons, levers, automatic air freshener sprays, a built in seat warmer, yes, a seat warmer… and our personal favorite, motion detection to raise and lower the seat…   So incredible was this toilet that various members of the bridal party kept walking into the suite just to get a glimpse of the commode.  It was a distraction, but only until Mary Ellen put on her dress.  At that point, no fancy bathroom fixture could keep eyes off this stunner.

Kudos to Michelle Lo Conte of I Do Hair & Make-Up.

Cocktail Hour!  Love the pink & damask theme.  Escort Card Table.

Floating Flowers on the cocktail hour tables.

Mmmm…

But it wouldn’t be a party without the cocktail franks!  (Snooping the Groom’s plate).

Party On!  A happy Mary Ellen and Michael dance their reception away…

And of course the rings.

We wish these two lovebirds a lifetime of happiness!  Thanks for including us!

Thank you Brooke and Steven.  The pictures look great - we are so excited to see the rest.  I tried to take Steven’s advice and stand back throughout the evening to take it all in.  However, the night still goes fast and it is hard to remember so many of the special moments.  We are glad that you and Steven were able to capture those moments for us - and make them look ten times better!
