On the 15th of each month we feature a new and magnificent wedding! This is more than just a weekly “best site” contest with a link to the couple’s wed-site. We will take you through the entire wedding process…from the planning, to the actual event, and everything in between…including details which made each big day special.
Nothing would make sense if I had never met you…
Jennifer and Jim met on October 2nd, 1999 while she was shopping at Wilson’s Leather. Jim was a manager there and approached Jennifer to look at the tattoo on her back! Jennifer gave Jim her number after a bit of encouragement from a friend, and they had their first date that very evening. Jim proposed on March 12, 2000, in the couple’s living room after Jennifer returned from a business trip to Miami, FL. The couple then set their wedding date for just over a year later on May 19th, 2001.
Jennifer attended Boston University and is employed as a Forensic Chemist for the Massachusetts State Police Crime Lab. Jim is employed as a manager at Autozone, pursuing a career in law enforcement. The couple currently resides in Massachusetts.
I will feel aglow just thinking of you…
The bride wore a gothic-style dress made by Pronovias. It featured an embroidered bodice with flowy, floorlength arms. The gown included multiple layers of chiffon on the bottom. The bride’s attendants wore burgundy dresses with empire-waists and short-illusion sleeves. The waists were accented by a thin white decorative-band. The flower girl wore an ankle-length dress with lace neckline and illusion sleeves.
Jennifer and Jim’s gothic ceremony was held at the Hammond Castle Museum in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Their reception immediately followed at the Hammond Castle Museum. The festivities were held inside the Great Hall, dining room, and courtyard of Hammond Castle – and outside in the backyard that borders the ocean. Guests were free to explore the castle, as well as enjoy the beautiful ocean view.
And then then spell was cast…
The couple added several elements to the ceremony and reception that made the day “uniquely theirs” – including the castle location. They chose to break away from several traditional aspects seen at most weddings. Jennifer and Jim each selected two attendants and a flower girl. Musical accompaniment for both the wedding and reception was provided by a harp, flute, and cello trio called The Gilded Harps. The wedding cake featured a chocolate coating, with each layer wrapped on the sides with thin chocolate shavings. Large milk chocolate flowers decorated the top and sides of the cake, accented with dark chocolate leaves. The cake had layers of tiramisu with mascarpone mousse, chocolate cake with chocolate mousse, and banana. The reception had amazing gourmet food selections, including a pasta station, a grill and carving station, a salad station, and a “make-your-own” sundae station for the kids.

Lovely photos – great scenery! Looks like an amazing wedding!
Hey, the motif was a perfect one. Most especially the bouquet of the bride a perfect color combination.
Great work – ditto on the eye shot. Very cool. Looks like you had a very long day. Nice dedication to the craft and to the couple.
