Picture this: a warm summer day, a covered veranda overlooking Lake Nona, and love filling the air. Can you feel the romance yet?
As guests trickled in, soft instrumentals serenaded them, setting the perfect ambiance for what was to come. Cue Adele's Make You Feel My Love as the bridal party, including the radiant couple themselves, gracefully made their entrance. But hold onto your seats because when Schubert's Ave Maria started playing, all eyes turned to Nahda, stealing the show with her grand entrance!
Now, let's talk about that candle lighting ceremony. With the gentle strumming of "Our Father's Prayer," Nahda and Austin sealed their love amidst flickering flames. And just like that, they were pronounced husband and wife, sealing the deal with Bruno Mars' Marry You and sending the ceremony off on an upbeat high!
Cocktail hour kicked off with a Rat Pack-inspired playlist, setting the stage for Mr. & Mrs. Barnett's grand entrance, gliding in to the infectious beats of Capital Cities' Safe & Sound. And can we take a moment for their first dance? Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" couldn't have been more fitting for such a perfect duo.
Dinner was a plated affair fit for royalty, accompanied by heartwarming toasts from the Best Man and the mother of the bride. And speaking of heartwarming, Nahda and Austin shared intimate dances with their mothers, each song a testament to their special bond.
But let's get to the real party, shall we? The dance floor exploded with energy as Colombian Cumbias, Salsas, and Merengues filled the air, along with Top 40 hits that kept everyone grooving. Who could resist hitting the dance floor with that lineup?
And let's not forget about the star of the night – the photo booth! With a red rosette backdrop and hilarious wedding speech bubble props, guests of all ages couldn't resist striking a pose and capturing memories that will last a lifetime.
As the night soared on, the couple cut their cake to the sweet sounds of Marvin Gaye's "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You," before diving back into the dance floor frenzy. And what better way to close off the night than with Carlos Vives' "Fruta Fresca," keeping the energy high until the very end.
Austin & Nahda, your wedding was a dream come true, and we're beyond grateful to have been a part of it. Here's to a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and endless adventures together! Cheers to the newlyweds!
