Julie and Reyes -- one of the sweetest couples I've ever met! -- were married June 18 in a beautiful wedding Mass celebrated at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Altamonte Springs.

Viewers might notice that the priest is facing a different way than modern Catholics normally expect -- this is because the couple chose the Tridentine Rite for their wedding Mass. This rite, common before the changes at the Second Vatican Council in 1962, is celebrated completely in Latin. Along with her bouquet, Julie carried a rosary; music for the ceremony was provided by a traditional schola singing gorgeous Gregorian chant.

Afterwards, the new couple danced the night away at their amazing reception at Timacuan to salsa and merengue tunes spun by Soundwave Entertainment's DJ Ray. Photos by Abba Photography. Hair and makeup by Hair Connoisseurs.

Ad multos annos, Julie & Reyes!

Amy & Bruce / Trailer / 6.6.10

Amy is one of the most organized brides I've ever met, and it shows in the sheer gorgeousness of her wedding day. I was absolutely impressed by her ability to keep track of even the tiniest of details!

Amy and her fiancee, Bruce, chose a gorgeous deep purple and a brilliant lilac as their wedding colors, something which gave their reception a royal feel. They took dance lessons and their first dance went off without a hitch. Amy herself took care of most of the reception details, and the care she took to make sure everything was perfect showed in the fun had by all of the guests!

One detail I thought was absolutely beautiful and meaningful -- the couple wrote their vows in a letter to one another that morning, framing each to display in their home.

Congratulations, Bruce & Amy!
