Abby and Jared tied the knot on September 1st at Hamilton’s 110 Northeast in Jacksonville, Illinois. Hamilton’s had set up the South Ballroom to serve perfectly for both the ceremony and the reception. The couple definitely made it convenient for their guests! Black and pink linens decorated the tables, and the ceremony space was framed with the same colors of tulle and white lights. They were married in front of an arch set up by the head table.
The harp music played during the ceremony was a mix of traditional and popular songs. The families of the bride and groom came in to “Arioso” by Bach. This was followed up by “Hymne” for the bridesmaids’ entrance. Abby was escorted to the altar by her sisters. For her processional, she requested Pachelbel’s “Canon in D.”
During the ceremony, the groom’s cousin was asked to sing “Marry Me” by Train. This vocal performance was accompanied by the harp. After the couple’s introduction, it was time for Abby and Jared to walk up the aisle as husband and wife! The music selection for the recessional was “All I Ask of You” from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical, Phantom of the Opera.
