The couple shared their first dance to John Legend’s “Stay With You.” “The words of the song perfectly describe our relationship and the marriage we hope to have,” says the couple.
The groom’s cake was a tribute to his fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi, and it bore the brotherhood’s crest.
The bride’s cake was a four-layer confection featuring strawberry, chocolate with raspberry filling, and two layers of butter cake, all topped with cream cheese icing.
Stephanie’s mother made her exquisite wedding gown. “She has made a lot of my attire for important occasions throughout my life, from homecoming court to prom dresses, so it was only right that she make my wedding dress,” says the bride.
The modern, elegant design of the Clinton Presidential Center was the perfect reception venue. “We were immediately sold on the beauty of the open space and the windows in the great hall,” says Stephanie.
“Yellow has always been my favorite color, so it was [a] must-have,” says Stephanie of the palette selection.
What a lovely occasion! We are so happy that Stephanie and Chris shared their joyful day with us. Best wishes for a happy marriage!
