Just south of Michigan, near Toledo, Ohio, Ethan and Serena celebrated their union with amazing family and friends. Amidst the wind-kissed landscapes and the loving embrace of family and friends, they exchanged vows at Saint John XXIII and celebrated their union at the elegant Sylvania Country Club.
April 13th, 2024, was a day of gentle breezes and whispered promises. Though the wind danced (almost blew them over) around them, Ethan and Serena’s spirits remained undeterred. Instead, they embraced the elements, allowing the wind to weave its own story into the fabric of their wedding day. And as the gentle gusts swirled around them, it was clear that their love was as steadfast, and that the two really can roll with the punches.
Before heading to the church, Serena shared intimate first looks with her bridesmaids and her father. These tender moments were filled with joy, tears, and the anticipation of the day ahead. Each glance, each hug, was a testament to the special bond Serena shares with her loved ones and the profound love that surrounds her.
Serena’s bridal gown was a sight to behold, offering three distinct looks that captured the essence of her beauty and grace. From the ceremony to the reception, each transformation was met with awe and admiration, leaving Ethan and their guests captivated by her radiant beauty. When Ethan’s mom, saw Serena she said: “You are going to take his breath away.”
As the sun set and the stars twinkled overhead, Ethan and Serena danced the night away, their love shining brighter than ever. Surrounded by the laughter and cheers of their family and friends, they celebrated their union in matching shoes, and smiles.
The sweet finale to their wedding day came in the form of a cake lovingly made by Rhonda, the bride’s mother. With each bite, guests were reminded of the warmth and love that filled the air, a sweet reminder of the bonds that tie us together.
As Ethan and Serena bid farewell to their guests and embarked on the journey of marriage together, they did so with hearts full of gratitude and love.
