Zluticky - Parks Party!

It was an interesting and fun wedding this past Saturday! We got to spend the day with Janelle and Josh and their many friends whom we have known for some time!
Janelle started her day getting her hair and make-up done at Asbury Methodist Church. Janelle's mom made sure she would be set for the day by packing a lunch and also providing her Ritz crackers and Janelle's favorite snack- Fudge Rounds. The ladies also played a round of 'Apples to Apples', a card game. It was an interesting day because the bride had her make up done by a former FCP bride Jessica, her Matron of Honor was a former bride of ours, Sarah and one of the bridesmaids is a future December bride, Courtney! And the photographers were Tyffany and Jeff, of T&J Studios, so it was a great time with Janelle and all her friends!
Janelle's flowers were white daisies with yellow centers. The daisy theme was carried throughout the day on the front of the guest book, pen to sign the guest book, in buckets that were draped on the pews and small bouquets the bridesmaids carried down the aisle. The ladies wore white strapless tops with yellow skirts with a dainty yellow ribbon that tied along the waist. Janelle looked stunning in a dress she found at David's Bridal. It was white, satin A-line with removable cap sleeves, chiffon split front and metalic embroidery with a chapel length train.
Janelle chose to see Josh for the first time before the ceremony and they had time for a private moment together. Before the ceremony, the guests were seated while a Trivia slide show filled with multiple choice and True/False questions about Janelle and Josh played on big screens. This made it very personable and fun. Opening the ceremony was a slideshow in memory of Janelle's grandfather and Josh's mother. The ceremony was very beautiful and Janelle and Josh left down the aisle dancing to "This will be an everlasting love".
The reception was held at the Indian Center and the newleyweds wanted to snag a few shots by the Keeper of the Plains on the suspension bridge. Then the entire wedding party was announced by the DJ, Absolute Sound, again with personal trivia about each attendant as they arrived. Dinner was catered by Old Chicago and consisted of pizza rolls, calzones, chicken tenders, salad and fruit. The wedding cake was all chocolate with chocolate frosting. The thin mints were also a big hit and lined a nearby platter in a layered circle. The groom's cake was decorated with all Josh's favorite sports teams he likes to watch.
The party started with the Janelle and Josh's first dance as well as the father/daughter dance and Josh dancing with his grandmother. Everybody danced and had a crazy time. And that is no joke they all knew how to party!
Janelle and Josh - thanks again for letting us spend the day with you, it was great to see old friends and future friends as well! You both were wonderful to work with and for! We can see you are a perfect match for one another. Thank you for dinner, we appreciate it! We wish you many memories and years of happiness together, please keep in touch!
