Scott & Janine's Wedding June 24, 2001

Scott & Janine's Wedding
June 24, 2001 West Hempstead, NY

They originally met through a mutual friend at East Carolina University in 1995. Summer 2000 they meet again with a very innocent, "Scott, will you help me drive my car cross-country?" This cross country roadtrip became a full-blown romance somewhere between Yellowstone National Park and New York City.

The Wedding Party:
Maid of Honor - Svetlana F. (bride's bestest of friends)
Bridesmaid - Lisa P. (brides's friend from 1st grade)
Bridesmaid- Andrea W. (aka Ayla, groom's friend & psuedo sister)

Best Man - Gay H. (groom's Father)
Groomsman - Tom S. (brides's brother)
Groomsman - David E. (good friend of bride)

The ceremony & reception were held at Ariana Waterfall in West Hempstead, NY. The colors were Navy Blue and Grey. The bride wore a traditional white dress and the groom wore his military dress uniform. The bridesmaids wore a navy blue dress of their choosing and the groomsmen sported suits and ties. The reception menu featured a cocktail hour (carving board, butlered horsd'ourves, pasta station, fruits, vegetables, cheese); a 5 hour open bar, Champagne toast, fruit cocktail, salads, entrees (including vegetarian option) and wedding cake. The reception entertainment was a D.J. with CD sound system and wireless mike.
