The Ceremony | By far, the ceremony was what bride Shannon looked forward to
the most. After waiting 10 years to marry the love of her love, she finally got to meet
him at the altar and say, “I do.” During the traditional Catholic ceremony when she
walked down the aisle to “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri on piano, everyone
could truly feel the love.
The Reception | With a one-of-a-kind theme and almost 600 guests in attendance,
Anthony and Shannon’s reception was nothing short of spectacular. Planned by
Michelle Garber of Fab Fête Event Planning Boutique, the celebration began with
an antipasto bar for cocktail hour that included a variety of scrumptious canapés:
oysters, king crab and lamb chops among others. Once the reception commenced,

guests indulged in a four-course meal and later were treated to a cheesecake and exotic
fruit bar in addition to a gelato cart.
The Decor | Anthony and Shannon were in complete awe when they saw their decor
provided by R5 Event Design for the first time. Walls were covered from head to
toe in black draping; centrepieces ranged from wisteria, cherry blossom and orchid
arrangements; and the breathtaking head table backdrop featured over 500 candles.
The only way the bride could describe it was “a dark and magical evening!” In the
midst of all the beauty was a white and gold dance floor for a breath of fresh air, along-
side fluffy white clouds suspended above the newlywed’s sweetheart table. Quarum
