Getting Ready
The morning began quietly and intimately, just as Natalie had hoped. With only one Matron of Honor, her best friend, the atmosphere was calm and relaxed, allowing her to savor each moment with those closest to her. One of the most meaningful parts of the morning was a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony, a beautiful nod to Natalie’s heritage. The ceremony, which symbolizes hospitality, respect, and unity, set the tone for the morning of the wedding day.

Champagne & Espresso Martini Towers
Why choose just one tower when you can have two? Natalie and Aedan had a vision for a celebration that kept the energy flowing, and they absolutely delivered. The champagne tower kicked off cocktail hour, giving guests the perfect sip to toast the evening. Later on, the espresso martini tower made its grand debut, fueling the dance floor and keeping the party going strong.

Cake Cutting
The cake cutting absolutely deserved its own spotlight, and this one was unforgettable. Standing at an impressive six feet tall, the cake was a true showstopper! Instead of a traditional reception moment, Natalie and Aedan snuck away to the park for a private cake cutting, just the two of them. It was sweet, quiet, and incredibly special!
