The first dance was a traditional German Waltz to Nat King Cole’s “Around the World”. A perfect song to compliment the theme of the wedding and the couples years together.

Each table was named after cities the couple had visited over the years. Guests received escort cards that looked like plane tickets with the table they were sitting at as their destination. The tables’ city was identified by a photo of the couple at that destination. Guests received favors of glass coasters etched with love in English or Chinese. Centerpieces were glass globes hand etched by the bride with the shapes of continents to resemble a globe filled with water and a floating red rose.

The party lasted long after the reception when friends and family were bused to the Mohegan Sun Casino for a fun retro after party at Lucky's Lounge. A great mix of Pizza, Martinis and Fun to end a perfect day.
