Wedding: Natali + Nick, Part 2

After the getting ready at the Tremont Plaza Hotel and the wedding ceremony at St. Ignatius Church, finally here’s part two of Natali and Nick’s wedding. The wedding reception at the prestigious Tremont Grand Historic Venue.

It was an awesome and fun partaayy! Whoo hoo!

Check out this image from the Carnaval Carioca part of the night.

But let’s rewind a bit… 🙂

After the ceremony at the church we went around Baltimore to do the wedding bridal party pictures.

Here’s the groom, Nick, his best men (yes, there were two of them) and the groomsmen.

The bride, Natali, the ring bearer and the guys showing their checkers socks that matches the marble checker tiles.

The bride and her niece and nephew, which were the flower girl and the ring bearer.
I don’t know about you, but when I look at this picture, Natali with her beautiful wedding dress looks like an angel looking after the two children. Just missing wings, that’s all. 🙂

Nick and the ladies… 🙂

The groom comfortably resting on the lap of matrons of honor and the bridesmaids… 🙂

And finally the romantic session of the bride and groom inside the beautiful Tremont Grand.

The beautiful and classy Edinburgh Hall, one of the largest ballrooms at Tremont Grand.

I love their unique table centerpiece.

Instead of using the typical table numbers, they use legendary couple names from love stories and history such as Romeo & Juliet, Tristan & Isolde, etc.

The wedding cake with the romantic wedding cake topper.

Here’s another interesting feature at the wedding. Natali and Nick hired a party painter, Martin Hardy. Martin painted the whole room on his canvas before the guests comes in. Then when the party started, he would paint the bride and groom, the bridal and groom party, the close family, and some of the guests.

Finally, the introduction of the bride and groom…

Natali and Nick’s first dance as a husband and wife.

Mother of the groom and son dance.

As for the father of the bride and daughter dance, because Natali’s father were not able to participate in the dance, Natali dedicated a couple of Tango dancers for her Dad.

“I love you…”

Then all the guests were invited to join the Tango dancers.

Then it’s time to serve the delicious food! 🙂

The painter painting Jessica, Natali’s sister and one of the maid of honor, and her family.

Dance time! 🙂

Speeches and toasts from the matrons of honor and the best men…

The cutting of the cake…

Then it’s dance again! 🙂

Now this is where the real fun starts! Carnaval Carioca time!
Guests grab masks, lights, hats, etc to accessorize themselves.
These were all from Argentina! 🙂

Check out Natali’s awesome mask! 🙂

The DJ, David Grimm, playing Brazilian percussion drum, the repinique.

The DJ playing another Brazilian percussion, cuica, that makes a hoot hooting sound. Very fun! 😀

Another fun part of the night, the bride and groom get to sit on the chairs and had few strong guys lift them up in the air!

Natali’s uncle brought few soccer jerseys from Argentina.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. The party painter also finished the painting at the end of the night.

But of course it’s a new and exciting chapter for the bride and groom’s journey together.

Congratulations, Natali and Nick!
May you always live happily ever after! 🙂
