If there's something that everyone knows about Tiffany and Steve, it's how much they love their dog, Tank.  So, of course, he was up front and center watching mom and dad tie the knot at the Cleveland Yachting Club.  He helped Steve get ready in the morning (complete with his own matching bow tie harness), rode with the groomsmen in the limo to the ceremony, and stood proudly next to Steve as Tiffany walked down the aisle.  The reception was past his bedtime though, so after giving the bride and groom his blessing (and some sloppy kisses), he caught a ride back home.  The bridal party took a few portraits on a rocky beach of Lake Erie and stopped by the Harry Buffalo in Lakewood where the two originally met before heading back to the yacht club to party the night away with the couple's family and friends.

It was easy to see how much care and thought went into planning Tim and Patty's wedding day.  Down to the smallest of details, their celebration was full of personalized touches and reflected their journey together up to that point.  One of my favorite parts was the fact that they grew all of their flowers in their own backyard garden and then attended a flower arranging class to learn how to craft the bouquets and centerpieces.  Patty and Tim started the day with a first look at their home, went on to bridal portraits at Brecksville Reservation, hung out with the bridal party at a Johnny J's Pub in Akron, and then headed on to their ceremony and reception at the Piggery at Anna Dean Farm in Barberton.  The Piggery's bright and airy event space was filled with strands of family pictures, paper hearts, mix-and-matched glassware, golden frames, and of course, smiling faces. And to top it all off, dessert was provided by an ice cream truck (the flower girl was particularly excited about this, as was I). A lovely day celebrating a lovely couple.  Wishing you the very best, Tim and Patty.
