Fast forward to 2005. A line dancing fan, Mike put on his boots and hit a local club one night. Just so happens it was the same club April and one of her girlfriends wanted to check out. Eyes meet. A reconnection. Phone numbers exchanged. A “first” date. The rest is history. One year later, Mike attends the AFWPI Awards Dinner with a little plan up his sleeve. Randy the emcee, a friend, begins to recount the couple’s story, in detail, before the captive audience. Eventually April catches on and Mike drops to one knee, proposing in front of 350 wedding professionals and colleagues. She said “yes.” So how does the man who puts on weddings for a living plan his own? He hires some of the best vendors he knows and watches them work their magic. Good thing, because he’s got other things to worry about, like the moves he’ll choreograph and teach to April for their first dance. According to Mike, “It was also something that we accomplished together, it felt like it was the first big project we did as a married couple.” (P.S. it’s all on YouTube!) Of course, Mike did put plenty of his own special touches into the planning…many of which are trademarks of Creative Memories Entertainment. The ceremony itself, as Mike describes it, was both “elegant and humorous.” The room itself was dimly lit with hundreds of candles and deep red accent lights. A spotlight reveled Mike and his groomsmen by the bar, each with their own shot and a low-key jazz arrangement of “Tequila” to accompany their toast. With a couple seconds to spare, Mike goes back for a second to the delight of the crowd. Shortly after, the bridesmaids make their entrance one by one. Then, another dash of theatricality. As April walks down the aisle with her father, snowflakes began falling. “Seeing her walk down the aisle towards me is an image that I will remember most,” says Mike. “This was the moment I lost it all—it became real. I felt like, ‘wow this is my wedding.’” O O Wedding Planner and Invitations Every Little Detail 916-716-6857, everylittledetail.net See ad on page 69 Flowers Ambience Floral Design 916-786-6851 ambiencefloral.com See ad on page 63 Cake Village Cake Shoppe DJ/Entertainment Music On The Move Chair Covers Slip of Elegance 530-676-3796, slipofelegance.com See ad on page 142 Lighting Music On The Move and Creative Memories Entertainment 916-344-7000 creativememoriesdj.com See ad on page 69 68 Sierrastyle Weddings Summer/Fall 2008 sierrastyle.com
