Favorite toast:  Hands-down, the sister of the brid and the sister of the groom speeches at the rehearsal dinner.

Best Dancer at the Reception: The bride and groom's nephew, Michael Brian, who also happened to be the ring bearer.

The "wow factor" of your wedding/reception that everyone talked about:  Everyone talked about how pretty the reception was.

The most unique detail of your wedding/reception:  Instead of the traditional limousine, we had a pedicab take us from the church to the reception site and then back to our room at the Bay Town Inn.  The pedicab came fully decorated with flowers and white lights, and the driver was dressed in a tuxedo.  It was fun to see people's faces as we passed them on the street.

Honeymoon location:  The Grand Hotel in Point Clear, Alabama, and the Grand Bohemian in Asheville, North Carolina

Bride's favorite part of the entire event:  The first dance as husband and wife and being able to see family and friends from all over the country.

Groom's favorite part of the entire event:  Getting to see Morgan walk down the aisle!  One of the most beautiful sights I've ever witnessed!
