THEIR FAVORITE MOMENTS

For Taylor “watching Gabby walk down the aisle was easily my most favorite part of the day.” Gabby, too, loved the ceremony. “The anticipation of opening the church doors and awaiting Taylor’s face/emotions was amazing!” she shares. “I couldn’t keep myself together. The tears were instantly rolling down my face! To see Taylors huge smile and eyes filled with tears at the end of the aisle was incredible yet so warm all at the same time! We had waited so long for this moment and to look back at all the guests sitting in the pews there to witness, support and love us was just incredible!”

TAYLOR’S CAKE

“We were originally supposed to get married on Taylor’s birthday (05/23/2020) and we had chose to have his favorite cake as his grooms cake (layered Funfetti and cookie cake) which would also be his “birthday cake” since it was his birthday and he felt like I was giving him the best birthday present ever - the gift of marriage! I envisioned our original wedding as our epic birthday celebration/wedding! Although we had to postpone and ended up getting married a year later, we decided to keep his groom’s cake the same.”

A FAMILY TRADITION

In memory of Taylor’s Mimi (who owned her own dancing school) and to continue a family tradition, all the women at the reception lined up and did a kick dance to Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York.”
