The blend of tradition and excitement brought everyone together, marking the beginning of an unforgettable evening on the dance floor. Madelaine and Tommy’s first dance was next. Surrounded by their loved ones, the first dance was a moment of pure joy, the perfect reflection of the love and happiness that radiated throughout the day. The soft twinkle overhead and the melodies filling the air made the evening feel magical, as guests celebrated under the starry sky.
