Evan and Bridget – the most uncommon introduction to a bride I’ve ever had…well, that’s because my very busy bride worked in a demanding travel planning position and I had the pleasure of starting our planning process with Evan the groom.
Evan, a published author and official “dating coach,” was doing all the research and throwing in the towel for the girl of his dreams. I knew without meeting Bridget that she must be an amazing girl to have snagged such a charming, funny guy. Right on and right on target from the first hello, I could tell they were full of laughter, full of fun and that this wedding would be an amazing experience for all.
Not having the same religion nor the same upbringing – they instantly reminded me of my own life and I felt a personal connection throughout the entire process. They enjoyed very much the intimate details of planning and the process of the “wedding weekend” – kicked off with a rehearsal aboard the RegentSea with a wedding coordinator that donned a Cheerleading costume pulled from moth balls from my ninth grade year and completed the rehearsal dinner at a friends house in costume! Yes, it was Halloween and they had a great party that included passing out candy to the neighborhood kids; a tequila bar (not for the kids); a fruit cart guy commonly seen on the streets of Los Angeles in full costume.
Their Wedding Ceremony took place aboard the RegentSea with the Reception following in the FantaSea Yacht Club. Their first dance after the bride changed into a sweet little white dress was a super hot salsa dance set to the music of The Cure – “Love Cats” (Evan’s last name is Katz!)
They have a great photo montage here that you must check out!
