Mint to Be….
Posted by Shannon Huey, Event Supervisor
Ramona and Kaidan were married at Lionscrest on May 9th, 2009. The weather was ideal during their 5:30 ceremony. The bridal party entered the ceremony to elegant live music by Ribbons and Strings. Ramona looked stunning in her strapless ivory gown. An element of fun was added to the ceremony when their dog Sadie carried the rings down the aisle.
During the cocktail hour their guests enjoyed Mexican Mojitos made with local agave nectar and savory appetizers by Greens Point Catering. Kaidan and Ramona used this time to slip away for an intimate photo session with Elegant Images. Kammi and Ross took them for a short hike on top of the mountain. It is clear from these photos that they were “mint to be”. Kaidan had a way of making Ramona’s face light up.
Kaidan’s sister Thanh helped Ramona put personal touches into decorating the ballroom. Thanh and the Nquyen family took care of everything from the centerpieces to the favors. I loved the favors! Each guests received a mint plant to take home and enjoy adorned with a sign “mint to be.”
After their first dance, Kaidan decided to give a speech. It was incredible and heartfelt. He thanked all of his guests for sharing in their special day and for traveling so far. At the conclusion to his speech in English, he said it all over again in Vietnamese for all of his family. This was one of the many times throughout the wedding I noticed how important family was for Ramona and Kaidan.
Once the dance floor was open, the party started. Jed from Pure Sounds Productions did an incredible job reading this worldly crowd and kept them dancing all night long. Ramona and Kaidan’s guests were having so much fun that the couple decided to extend their event to continue the dancing.
Kaidan and Ramona left their wedding in style, departing with their bridal party in a 1936 fourteen passenger White Touring Limousine. This antique limousine was provided by The Ambassador’s Rolls.
Congratulations Kaidan and Ramona, you are “mint to be!”
