Following tradition of the bridegroom’s Irish heritage, the men wore ceremonial kilts and the songs “Lochaber No More” and “Mist Covered Mountains” were piped during the service.

The bride, in an ivory colored silk organza gown, was escorted down the aisle and given away by her father. Her dress was strapless with a sweetheart neckline and rouched bodice, complemented by a fingertip-length veil adorned with small beading.
