They say Virginia is for lovers. Chrissy & Fernando celebrated their love with their families and friends in Leesburg, VA this past Saturday. Both their wedding & reception were held at Raspberry Plain Manor, one of the principal Mason Family estates of Northern VA and it was the perfect setting for Chrissy & Fernando. Their ceremony music consisted of various string quartet selections and a recessional to “If Not For You” by George Harrison. A mix of bossa nova jazz, drinks and appetizers made for a wonderful cocktail hour that followed the ceremony. DJ Frank Marsden invited everyone to gather in the Manor’s Grand Conservatory Room and then formally introduced the newlyweds. After being introduced, Chrissy & Fernando danced their first dance as a married couple to “In The Morning” by Fleet Foxes, Chrissy & her Father danced to Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young” and then Fernando & his Mother had their turn and danced to “Volare” by Domenico Modugno. A buffet meal, toasts, and a cake cutting took place before the dance party started. Lots of fun Latin music moved guests of all ages as well as songs by Daft Punk, ABBA, Talking Heads, Bjork, LCD Sound System and many more. Saturday’s festivities ended with George Harrison’s “You” and all guests joining the newlyweds on the dance floor and then a sparkler exit. Chrissy & Fernando were wonderful to work with and we thank them for trusting us to be such a big part of their wedding day. Thanks to some new vendor friends as well; Kelci Alane Photography, and the Raspberry Plain Manor Staff.
