T&A's Purple and Gold Wedding

Another wedding for the books!  T&A celebrated on Saturday with a beautiful ceremony and reception.  They divided the banquet hall into 2 sections to create their unique event.  Flowers and candles adorned the tables and a multi-layer cake made by a friend of the bride created a grand focal point in the reception space.

Enjoy the photos!


Floral arrangements were made by a family friend




Different centerpieces created depth and drama on these tables!



Cake made by a friend of the bride - each layer was a different flavor

S&D's Tropical Wedding - one week later!

{Disclaimer: A minor computer malfunction is the reason this post is so behind!  Enjoy!}

Thanks to Hurricane Irene we had to post-pone the reception of S&D.  They were amazing.  They were so understanding and totally willing to reschedule.  We didn't really have any other choice, so they made my life easier on what could have been the most stressful day in wedding history.  They did have their ceremony on Saturday August 27th, but chose to move it up earlier in the day to avoid what was expected to be the worst storm Delmarva had seen in years. 

We all survived Irene and were able to come together on Saturday, September 3rd to celebrate a couple I will not soon forget.  The colors were vibrant - there were palm trees, sea shells and plenty of island touches everywhere.  Not to mention the bride, groom and entire bridal party looking absolutely perfect, bright and tropical!  Even the cake and cake table looked like a tropical oasis.  Guests danced the night away and everyone, myself included, had a fantastic time.  S&D are a wonderful couple with a long and happy life ahead of them.  They got married the week of the earthquake, hurricane & tornado and if they can get through that, they can make it through anything.  So, that said, Best Wishes to S&D!  You guys rock!!

Enjoy these fantastic photos!

Chalk Boards!  The bride used adorable chalk board touches to let guests know the
buffet menu as well as mini chalk boards in the center pieces with table numbers on them!

Another shot of  the room!  Those palm trees were fantastic!  Guests were spotted
getting their photos under them all night!



Irene - Not a Nice Lady

So this past weekend ended a little differently then I had hoped.  We had to post-pone the wedding we had scheduled.  Our fantastic couple decided to go ahead with their church ceremony on Saturday, just moved it up a few hours.  They are now on their honeymoon and will return to celebrate their nuptials with CHEER on Saturday, September 3rd.  They were very understanding and I feel so lucky for that.  Anyway, I have nothing further to post on this other then Congratulations S&D!!!  See you Saturday!! 

T&J's Berry & Blue Ceremony & Reception

We're back at it again!  This past weekend was AWESOME!  Amazing couple with an amazing group of people behind them to celebrate.  T&J have been together for 10 years, so this ceremony and reception was something guests and the couple came together to celebrate from start to finish.  (And boy did they celebrate!!) 

I took more pictures from this one than I have in the past, but can you blame me?  They had one space set up for their ceremony and the other spaces became the reception area.  170+ guests helped to set the mood - love, laughter and fun were the theme on Saturday night!  Simple centerpieces, photos of the couple around the room and another delicious meal by Catchers helped contribute to the excitement of the evening.  A close friend of the couple doubled as the DJ and he had the entire crowd up on the dance floor all night long!  It was definitely one for the books and I am so happy to have been a part of such a special day for such a wonderful couple.  Thank you for letting me be involved!! XOXO

Enjoy these photos I took before the festivities began!

Doesn't it look great?  Thanks, John!



Happy Hour -The Island Way!

It's been a quiet few weekends here at the Community Center.  We have stayed busy during the week with a few events for the Seniors - "Ask the Physical Therapist" with Joe from Tidewater and "Accessible Gardening" with the Sussex County Master Gardeners.  Both were great events with very good turn out and we will be holding both again in the coming months. 

So, to fill in a little space here this week, CHEER has a big fundraising event coming up on Wednesday, September 28th from 4pm-7pm at the Community Center in Georgetown.  Tickets are being sold at $25 per person.  We are also selling sponsorship "Birthday Candles" at $500.  Our goal is to raise $20,000 for the CHEER Foundation in order to continue offering the best services possible to the 50+ community of Sussex County.  For more information please contact Dave, his information is listed below on the ad, or stop by the CCC and see me, Stacy, to purchase your tickets!
