Wedding: Brooke & Bruno – Gateway Baptist Church & Wynlakes Country Club – Montgomery, Alabama

Technically, Brooke and Bruno were already married – they had TWO weddings; one in Brazil for Bruno’s side of the family, and one in Montgomery about a month later for Brooke’s family. I only know one word in Portuguese, which made communication with Bruno’s family interesting (by the way, “obrigado” = thank you)! We started the day in Montgomery at Gateway Baptist Church, the same place where Bruno first told Brooke that he loved her, and where her Alfred Angelo gown hung the day of their wedding:The gorgeous flowers and event coordination were courtesy of Weddings by Jill:I loved the monogram at the top of their programs, made up of two intertwined B’s – you’ll see it again at the reception:The gesture Bruno made as they were getting ready to leave the church was sweet……but the tears in his eyes as he watched his dad welcome his new daughter-in-law were sweeter:The reception at Wynlakes Country Club was illuminated with their monogram on the dance floor:The cakes were by Peggy McKinney – the bride’s cake featured a portion of the well-known Bible verse from Corinthians (which was also on the wall where Brooke’s dress was hanging earlier in the day):Many thanks to Brooke & Bruno for giving me inspiration to brush up on basic words in foreign languages. 🙂
