Terry and Chips wedding marks the beginning of my busy wedding season and I can already predict it will be one of my more memorable weddings this year! Not only was it a splendid affair with all of my favorite vendors working with me, nor was it just because the wedding ceremony and reception was held at one of metro Detroits most elegant venues. It was because of the triumphal story of this beautiful couple. They are triumphal in love and in life! I was taken back by Chips endearing love for Terry, and her love for him. Equally, however, I was moved by the wonderful spirit of this couple despite the difficult battle they have endured as Terrys suffers from stage four breast cancer. If I hadnt known in advance, I never would have sensed it from the love and joy this couple had on their faces the whole day through! This was a triumphal and beautiful wedding, indeed.

The all star vendors were a plenty, including the very elegant and palatial Henry Ford Museum, The China Closet for attention to detail and premier wedding planning, the incredible and preeminent Bellisario , and Michigan’s version of Hollywood-precision video with Fifth and Main Productions. Terry’s hairdresser was Birmingham’s Peter Mansoor of Vanity Hair and her makeup by Barbara Deyo of Devo Studio. DJ services was provided by Memory Maker DJ’s and Brian Van Guitar entertained with his classical guitar during dinner.
