| Magic An unusual heat wave greeted the morning of June 10th – with humid temperatures soaring to 95 degrees amidst stormy conditions. As the day progressed, however, the air cooled as the sun began to peak through the clouds. By the 7:00 pm start time, conditions were perfect for the fairy-tale outdoor ceremony. Sheeva and Brendan reminisce about the sometimes trying times leading up to their relationship and muse that the wedding day followed the same trend. |

| Elegance From beginning to end, Sheeva and Brendan crafted an evening of enchantment. Top priority was tempting cuisine; the couple treated guests to a tantalizing culinary journey – beginning with gourmet seafood hors d’oeuvres and a garden salad display and culminating with a complete dessert room featuring cheesecake-filled martini glasses, dessert liquors and a coffee station. Throughout the evening, three top-shelf liquor bars kept thirsts quenched with an exceptional collection of spirits, décor-matching red champagne and a mojito table beautifully decorated with limes and real sugar cane. |
