Once upon a time a wedding comes along that really knocks our socks off. Meet Jay and Alayna! Their story starts with a wedding proposal from Jay who had a pelican trained to carry the engagement ring. Yes, a real live pelican! Alayna is a very talented illustrator and she drew the scene as their Save the Date card. A gorgeous storybook themed wedding at The Glen Manor followed.  Del’s frozen lemonade (original and spiked!) refreshed the guests after the ceremony. Once inside, friends and family were treated to a feast for the eyes. Each table had a different terrarium as the centerpiece, picture books and candles adorned the mantles, and an incredible pelican/storybook cake by Sin Bakery was the focus of everyone’s attention next to the dance floor. Jay had purchased some gorgeous carved animal masks that he thought would go nicely with the wedding theme, so naturally we had to do some fun photos with them in the woods. We went for a nice long walk on the grounds until we stumbled upon a pretty stream. Alayna kicked off her vintage shoes and into the stream they went. It was amazing. Alayna wore her mother’s dress and Jay’s mother’s veil. We felt as if we had stepped back in time. And in a way we did, back in the 90’s Marisa and Jay were buds in college where they shared an affection for indie rock and Mortal Kombat, so being asked to document this beautiful day was extra special. Throughout the evening DJs played all of the couple’s favorite tunes, we were even treated to two piano solos by their good friend Paul. We wish Jay and Alayna much happiness as they live happily ever after…
