I'm a modern day cookie monster! So glad you're here! To know them is to love them! I ran into Emily the night before as I exited the elevator to find my room in the hotel. She asked about Arden, my drive and more. Then I posted a story where Dru responded asking where I was staying because it looked like where Emily was. As dumb as it sounds, they made me feel like they were just as excited I was there as I was excited to be there!
He gave me a tour of the Mansion and shared with me all of the personal touches that Emily incorporated into their day. Wedding photos from former generations displayed a top the fireplace. The glass bottles were family heirlooms passed down for weddings and the dessert table was filled with old family cookie recipes.
They were quite delicious and the perfect pairing for a long drive home! When you enter through the front doors you would see straight back to their handcrafted sweet heart table that Dru made himself just days before the wedding.
The further you stepped in the more you were surrounded by the grand staircase that was covered with the most beautiful of greenery! Long taper candles lined the center of the long tables, tucked neatly into the matching greenery. It was an intimate arrangement. Their guestbook was vinyl record covers that family and friends could sign so they could be added to their collection.
Through the doors of what I would call the mahogany room, was the ceremony spot. Every aspect was breath taking! White chairs stood out agains the green of summer. Two chairs held photos of those dancing in the clouds.
