Shani and John are married! These sweet love birds said their ‘I do’s’ on Saturday during a beautiful summer Mansion at Valley Country Club wedding in Towson, Maryland.
I met Shani and John earlier this summer when I took their engagement photos, so I already knew what a sweet, down-to-earth, loving couple they are. And it all came flooding back to me the second I saw them on their wedding day. Y’all these two were excited but calm as cucumbers. It was so nice to be around their energy all day and just observe the way they love each other.
I have so many favorite moments to recount from their summer Mansion at Valley Country Club wedding. The first was when I walked into the bridal suite to see Shani’s Enzoani wedding gown hanging in the room with the train sprawled out on the floor. I let out an audible gasp! Her dress was stunning! And she looked even more incredible wearing it. That dress was made for her!
Another favorite moment was Shani surprising John with a recorded video message from his favorite former University of Michigan basketball players! She had them wish him a happy wedding day and while John looked delighted and appreciative, the look on Shani’s face while he was watching the video was adorable! She was so excited to surprise him – it was so sweet!
It was wonderful to see this couple surrounded by so much love and support from their family and friends and it seemed to make such an impact on their joy throughout the day. Congratulations and best wishes to Shani and John! Enjoy your Croatian honeymoon!
Thanks the group of vendors who created a Shani and John’s summer Mansion at Valley Country Club wedding!
