The bride was escorted down the aisle and given away by her grandfather, Lucien. She wore a strapless ivory gown and carried a bouquet of white roses and blue hydrangea.

A beach-theme reception followed also at their home, with hydrangea, decorations, favors and cake in hues of blue, all coordinating the theme. After all pictures were taken, the bride and her bridesmaids plunged into the pond and took the bridegroom in with them. The rest of the evening was enjoyed around a campfire with family and friends.

The couple will be taking their honeymoon in September.
