A Fairytale Wedding in Marina del Rey

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Once upon a time, in a Marina not so far away…

Oohs and Ahh’s abounded as guests peered from every possible window, deck and open space on luxury yacht, Dandeana, as a horse drawn carriage made its way down to the dock.

With Cinderella as her inspiration, beautiful bride Akane stepped out of the carriage donning a gorgeous ballroom style dress complete with rhinestone tiara.  With a quick hug and thank you to the pure white horse that drew the carriage, Akane and lucky groom Fumi walked hand and hand down to the Dandeana.

All guests stood to watch as Akane’s father, Kenichi, escorted her down the aisle to the theme song from Disney’s Aladdin, “A Whole New World”.  Tables were dressed in gold satin and chairs were tied with an organza gold bow.  With custom built centerpieces, tiny bird cage style votives hanging from the ceiling, and a Cinderella carriage wedding cake, the look was certainly enchanting.

The newlyweds danced a well practiced waltz together to Cinderella’s “So this is Love” and later sang somewhat of a ‘first song’ to “Endless Love” by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross.

As the evening of their ‘Once Upon a Time Wedding’ came to a close, the couple made a very grand escape by the same horse drawn carriage that started their fairytale evening.  This time, the carriage was aglow with white lights and an iced bottle of champagne with two glasses were waiting inside.

The End.
