Nicole and Dave’s wedding was held on the last weekend of October, at the Tewksbury Country Club. Where to begin about Nicole and Dave’s big day? Well, first of all, they have super fun friends and family, who were all singing and dancing from the moment we walked in to shoot them as they got ready. The day started out sunny…then moved on to some pretty serious downpours….then…remember that freak Nor’easter in October? Well, that was on Nicole and Dave’s wedding day. Luckily, these two might have the best attitudes we’ve ever seen, because we’re not exaggerating when we say they totally took it all in stride. We were lucky to have a lot of time between the ceremony and reception for their portraits, so we snuck in a few outside before it started raining, then stuck to the indoors while it poured, and got back out once it started snowing. Everyone had smiles on their face the whole time (especially Nicole and Dave!), and we had a blast. Once the reception started, they had their introductions, started dinner…and then the power went out. The country club was running on generator, so we still had light, but the band wasn’t able to play because the outlets had no power. Just one more thing that could’ve caused any bride to have a total meltdown. But there was no meltdown. They scrambled to find someone who happened to have a battery powered CD player in their car. They set it up, and they danced. The band came onto the dance floor, sang acapella and used tambourines. When it came time for Nicole to dance with her Dad, a cousin came out of nowhere and belted out a song…just his voice, and it filled the room, and brought down the house. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the place after that. It was not planned, but it was the most memorable father/daughter dance we’ve ever seen. After that, the dance floor filled, and EVERYONE sang. It was a crazy day, but Nicole and Dave’s friends and family (and a little unpredictable New England weather) made for a fantastic and unforgettable wedding. Lesson learned…things don’t always turn out exactly as planned, but all you can do is make the best of it, and that’s exactly what they did.
For now, take a look at the beginning of the day. Here’s the preparations and ceremony…
Stay tuned for Part II of Nicole and Dave’s wedding, coming soon!
