There are many more pictures of the wedding in these albums.

A beautiful private room with a it's own old-world bar was waiting the greet the guests.

On Thursday, the 7th of February, at 6:00pm the wedding party met at the Event Factory for the wedding rehearsal. And even though the bride had a few jitters, everything went very well. Being this was the first time both extended families had met, you can imagine how excited everyone was to finally get to meet in person!! As soon as Brandy was sure that everyone knew what they were supposed to do - everyone left there and headed to Maggiano's Little Italy Restaurant.

So many delicious selections to choose from.

When the guests arrived they were treated to an Appetizer Buffet including Stuffed Mushrooms, Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes, Mozzarella Marinara, Calamari Fritte, and Baked Pastry-Wrapped Beef Hot Dogs. Followed by a dinner of Rigatoni "D", Fettuccini Alfredo, Meat Lasagna, New York Strip Contadina, Oven Roasted Pork Loin, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli and Sauteed Spinach. And if this wasn't enough, New York Style Cheesecake and Tiramisu were offered for dessert.

Guests were treated to an atmosphere which was both relaxing and comfortable.

Brandy and Terry's guests were able to take the time to get to know each other and catch up on old news of loved ones they hadn't seen for a while. A champagne toast was given by Terry's father, Jim, thanking the bride's mother and father, Kristy and Darrell, for the wonderful fairy tale Wedding they were hosting for their daughter and future son-in-law.

Cameras were everywhere!

Brandy's mom and grandmother coordinate the picture taking together. There were so many flashes that evening that many pictures had someone taking a picture of someone taking a picture.

"Freshly Picked Flower Girl" and "King of the Ring" enjoy some refreshments.

Terry's son and daughter, TJ and Kayla, take a moment to sit down and eat. All that work "practicing" the wedding gave them an appetite. TJ enjoyed the Tiramisu the most! Kayla looked lovely in her "Freshly Picked Flower Girl" t-shirt.

Nothing serious going on here!!

Groomsman Dave seems to be enjoying himself quite a bit - while his wife Michele looks on. Herman seems to understand the humor - maybe it is a "Philips" joke!!

Love might conquer all - but debates on politics can add spice to any event!

Even though this was a wedding event with love being the theme, discussions turned to politics at one of the tables. Groomsman Lee and Brandy and Terry's officiant, Danny Bilyeu, engaged in a rousing debate that had retired judge, Billy Spruill joining in. Joe was wondering how lucky he was to be sitting at that table!

Brandy gives her Maid of Honor and Bridesmaid gifts of appreciation.

Politics aside, Brandy and Terry turn the conversation back to the most important topic, the wedding!! They present their bridesmaids and groomsmen with thoughtful gifts of appreciation. Brittany, the maid of honor and Kristina, bridesmaid, open their gifts with much anticipation.

Kayla gets a special fairy tale gift from Brandy and Terry.

Brandy and Terry picked a very special gift for their flower girl, Kayla. Like so many girls her age, Kayla loves playing "princess" herself. The bride and groom gave her a gorgeous glass slipper engraved just for her. A very special gift to remember a very special day.

The "King of the Ring" looks like he can protect the ring now!

For their ring bearer, TJ, Brandy and Terry found the most adorable personal gift for a boy - a personalized engraved baseball bat. I'm sure the bride and groom thought this would be something to put up on a shelf for memories - but the gift was a huge "hit" and TJ said he couldn't wait to knock a ball out of the park!

Terry's mom and dad receive a beautiful silver wine tool kit.
