>Romantic wedding out of a Jane Austin novel.

Modern Wedding Posted: August 17, 2010

>I have just put together our latest real life wedding. Gabrielle and John managed to create a romantic vintage wedding style that reflected their story-book love affair.

Here is how their story began... "In 1991 as a little 2 year old girl, I sat bouncing on 12-year-old John's knee. He picked me up and played games with me, along with my brothers. Our families associated for many years until I reached the age of eight. My family moved to a different location and gradually we lost touch. Many years later when I was just 16, I was attending a luncheon when I saw a man I recognized talking to one of my friends. I asked a friend nearby who he was and she promptly replied, ' that's John Tobin', with excitement I exclaimed, 'I knew it! I knew it!' The memories of the fun I had shared with him so many years ago still stood out in my mind, and from that day on our friendship began to blossom."




Gabrielle wanted to add her own personal touch and so created many of the details herself, including the invitations, ceremony programs, petal cones, place cards, bomboniere and pretty anything that could be made.

The most special moment for her was: "When the church doors opened and I started walking down the aisle I couldn't take my eyes off my husband who was fighting back the tears. This touched my heart. I struggled to hold it together when he started telling his own scripted vows to me! They were so heartfelt and truly amazing. That's when the day became so real to me."

Read their full, hopelessly romantic story....
