Megan and John met on what they thought would be an uneventful evening at Leggets Sand Bar, a local New Jersey hot-spot famous for it’s shot-wheel game. John played it cool, waiting almost a week to call Megan after she gave him her number. They went on their first date at Harrigan’s Pub in Sea Girt, NJ and the rest was history. Flash-forward one year to June 26th, their first anniversary. John planned a romantic night, starting with dinner at the restaurant where they had their second date. After dinner they headed to back to Harrigans, and their last stop was at the miniature golf course where they had their third date.
Nearing the end of their night, they came to the last hole, with Megan scoring a hole in one! John knelt down by the hole, as if to retrieve the ball, but came up on one knee holding an engagement ring! Teary eyed, Megan said yes to John; and her family, which had been waiting on the boardwalk nearby, joined them to celebrate the big news.
We started the wedding day at Megan’s family home in New Jersey. I absolutely loved Megan’s color choices of navy blue, with bright pink accents. Even her dog was dressed to the color scheme! Megan’s mother made a special bridal suite just for her big day, and when her father walked in and saw her in her dress for the first time, the moment was priceless.
Their ceremony took place in an adorable chapel in Historic Allaire Village, New Jersey, with bag pipers chiming as guests made their way into the church.
After the ceremony, we all headed to the elegant Oyster Point Hotel overlooking the water.
Guests danced the night away — but John really stole the show with his rendition of Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean!
What an amazing night it was – thank you for allowing me to share it with you, Megan and John!
