I love when couple’s have a “couple name” that combines both of their names together to make one name. On a deep level it symbolizes the act of marriage itself, and on a much more fun level it makes for awesome wedding favors. Sang & Antonio [a.k.a. Santonio] joined their lives and love yesterday at a beautiful ceremony aboard the Eternity Yacht in the Newport harbor. As Antonio walked down the aisle he patted his hand over his heart to convey how fast his heart was thudding. “I almost lost it when I saw her. I almost cried.” He said after the ceremony. They came from northern California where they now live to have their wedding celebration with their family. Friends from all over the country flew in to be with them. Their yellow and grey accents were lovely on the all white backdrop of the yacht, and the cool grey sky made for amazing photos. Long distance weddings can be a challenge to plan, but every little detail was carefully planned by the bride and wonderfully executed. The guests had a scavenger hunt to get to know each other during the cocktail hour, and were asked to leave first date suggestions for the couple in lieu of a guestbook, and Antonio surprised his wife with a song performance of It Had to be You. Evening weddings always make for stunning night time shots, and with the harbor lights around them Santonio glowed in their newlywed bliss. After dinner, the party got started on the second deck, complete with a lounge, dance floor and photobooth. The bride made sure the DJ played Lonely Island’s I’m On A Boat. Cheers to Santonio! We wish you a lifetime of love and laughter! Enjoy your Hawaiian honeymoon!
