Wedding Date on Jul 22, 2023

Let’s talk about wedding drama, shall we? In all my years of doing weddings, I’m not sure I’ve seen anything as dramatic as what happened on Brooke and Mark’s day. After months of heat and no rain at all, a storm rolled in like no other and threatened to ruin Brooke’s dream of an intimate, Italian-inspired, outdoor garden wedding. The torrential downpour lasted only ten minutes, but it was enough to seemingly ruin all hopes of having that dream garden reception. Despite having every reason to be upset over the events of the day, Brooke was so calm and didn’t let the storm rain on her parade. Once the storm passed, Kristin Catter and her events team swooped in to rescue the day, drying off every table, glass, and chair to make sure that Brooke’s dream garden reception would still happen. Not only did it still happen, but it was one of the most stunning wedding receptions I’ve ever seen, with the most perfect pink sunset to top it off. If rain on the wedding day is good luck, then Brooke and Mark are the luckiest. Congrats to the Sumells!
