I met Lea and Derek for the first time at their engagement session, as soon as I met them I realized what a wonderful couple they are. They are just the nicest people. They had a few bumps in the road with their wedding planning, but in the end they had a fantastic reception and a beautiful ceremony in St. Maarten! I am trying to get Lea to write a little something about her wedding planning experience, it will definitely make you all laugh. Pressures on now Lea! They decided to have a small wedding reception here in Rhode Island at the beautiful Glen Manor for all the family friends that could not make it to their ceremony in the islands. Then they had another little bump in the road, I finally went into labor but it was two days before her wedding day. Tiffany and Jenna came to the rescue! The first thing they told me when they got home was how I just missed an incredible wedding, I was so jealous. It kinda felt like when your on a diet and someone is eating a piece of chocolate cake and they keep telling you how fantastic it is!
So now here’s Jenna to tell you about the night…..
It’s true, these two are just too cute together. As Lea and Derek were getting to Glen Manor, the sun was on it’s way down. The girls quickly made the decision to brave the cold for some great photos. Tiffany and I clicked away for some fun pics. We all ran back inside and the reception was in full swing. Derek’s brother gave a short yet hilarious speech poking fun at Lea’s slightly large feet and Lea’s dad was all teary eyed as they danced surrounded by friends and family. The biggest surprise of the day? Tiffany and I went upstairs to grab a quick bite with the band and Lea and Derek joined us! Talk about friendly 
To Lea and Derek, thank you for sharing your night with us. It was truly a pleasure to be there.
