Two things I was reminded of on Allison + Joe’s Detroit wedding day were: End of September can still be mid 90 degrees (!) and I LOVE Chaldean weddings. Like LOOOOOOOOVE. Their Grand Entrance was so full of love and celebration – it’s something and a feeling I will never forget.
We met them at The Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center downtown while they were getting ready and there was this amazing excited, nervous energy. Surrounded by their favorite people, they headed to The Most Blessed Sacrament for their ceremony. And such a perfect ceremony it was!
Guys, it was hot. Like sweat in your eyes HOT. You know this girl doesn’t care, but A + J were troopers as I asked them to touch foreheads. We headed down the docks at The Detroit Yacht Club to catch some air and give them some time to really take it all in. It was definitely the calm before the celebration waiting for them inside! Everyone laughed, loved and danced the night away. It was so good, I didn’t even want to leave! Allison + Joe, thank you so much for letting me tell your story and witness your deep love. I still smile as I type this up thinking of how perfect your day was! xo, e

Joe, Engineer
Three words that describe their wedding:
Love, party, and HOT!
Allison’s favorite memory of the day:
Walking down the aisle with my dad to meet my groom. Seeing Joe at the end of the aisle eased my nerves. It was so surreal to see all of our favorite people in one room!
Joe’s favorite memory of the day:
Dancing into the venue for the first time as husband and wife, surrounded by our family and friends.
Wedding planning advice for newly engaged couples:
Hire a wedding planner/coordinator (shout out to Jen House/A Moment in Time) to keep you on track during the process and to make the day go smoothly! Take time throughout the day to sit back and truly be present, the day goes by SO fast!
