Tanya kept her cool before walking down the aisle by talking to her intended.
“I was in the limo and I said to myself, ’I’m not gonna cry’ and I said ‘I have to talk to Fred.’ He was calling me and giving me updates of what was going on at the church and with those calls I was getting calm.”
Tanya said the easiest part of planning her wedding was finding the dress. She knew it was the one right away.
“It was the first dress I tried on. I looked at it on line and went into a store that carried the brand. It looked plain on the hanger, but I tried it on and fell in love with it.”
“Originally my wedding color-scheme was supposed to be burnt orange, because I like that color and it looks good on dark skin,” Tanya said. “then we decided to try-on the bridesmaid gown we saw online. When we went to the store, they had the dresses in blue, and it was such a lovely color that I said, ‘yep, that’s the color we’re going with.’ Of course, I didn’t want to give up my orange, so the colors became sapphire blue and orange.”
A beautiful combination.
“Our cake was delicious,” Tanya remembers. “It was five layers with different filling, two tiers had fresh strawberries, two had pineapple and one had carrot.”
The couple got their cake through a package with the reception hall, who used ‘Gourmet Touch Bakery’ in Liberty Corner, New Jersey.
