Heather held a bouquet of blush and pink-hued, full English roses.
Heather‘s five bridesmaids wore strapless, A-line dresses that fell just below the knee and were created by a local seamstress. The bridesmaids wore pale pink, while the maid of honor wore a rosy pink.
Heather and Renzo‘s ring bearer donned a classic black suit, a single pink bloom on his lapel, and a pink satin pillow for the rings.
After the ceremony the guests enjoyed the reception under a large tent decorated with twinkling white lights.
The pink and chocolate-brown wedding hues accented the tablecloths, centerpieces, and candles.
Heather‘s florist was able to find a flower that closely resembled peonies -- full English roses -- which he used in the bouquets and centerpieces, combining pale and dark pink roses.
Under a large tent decorated with twinkling white lights, the couple danced for the first time as husband and wife to Tim McGraw’s “My Best Friend.”
The mod black-and-white, five-tiered cake featured three layers of coconut creme, one layer of fluffy lemon cake with a lemon-custard filling, and one layer of chocolate cake with mocha creme filling.
Heather and Renzo are proof that good things come to those who wait. Although they met in a junior high science class, their friendship didn’t blossom into romance until their freshmen year of college.

Fast-forward eight years to the couple’s first trip to New York City, where Renzo got down on one knee in front of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. “It was like we were the only two people in the entire city,” recalls Heather.
