– Ashlyn and Dominic –

Neither Rain, Nor Sleet, Nor Snow, Nor Vague Threats, Nor Pressure From Vendors, Nor Dark Of Night Shall Stay This Couple From The Swift Completion Of Their Cross Town Rivalry Wedding. From Duke Chapel to their Park Alumni Center wedding reception. Ashlyn and Dominic faced the challenge of a snowy and icy North Carolina day.

The first thing you notice when walking into the ballroom at the Park Alumni Center is the floral decor. When Fresh Affairs decorates a venue, they never fail to create a stunning view. From the grooms boutonnière to the table centerpieces, It all creates a sense of elegance.

Park Alumni Center Wedding Reception

The Park Alumni Center provided a great respite from the snow and ice outside. After everyone made it safely in the ice and snow to the wedding reception, Franky, from Island Sound, started off the evening with bridal party introductions, dinner, and then got the dancing off to a great start. From the way everyone was dancing and partying, you would have never guessed there was an ice storm outside.

Some of the highlights of the night were the great toasts from the best man and maid of honor, going out side in the snow to smoke cigars with the groom and groomsmen, the bridal bouquet balcony toss, and last but not least the sparkler exit.
