#WeddingWednesday Shannon + Greg 10-18-14

Shannon and Greg’s wedding looked like so much fun! Shannon added some GREAT advice too! Take notes ladies! Here is what she had to say about her big day:


“We had a traditional Catholic ceremony at the Grosse Pointe Academy Chapel.  This church is absolutely breathtaking.  Our wedding party came into ‘A Thousand Years’, the mothers processional was ‘Ave Maria’ and my wonderful father walked me down to ‘Canon in D’.

Our priest, Father Jerry was so fun and loving - we received many compliments on the mass being exciting to listen to.


“I thought you looked amazing.  I choked up when I saw you” - Greg, the Groom.

My dress was AWESOME.  I’ve never felt better in anything in my entire life.  I loved how I looked, I loved how it photographed and all the compliments I received.  I almost settled for something less perfect to save a few bucks but you’ll never have a day like your wedding day - so SPLURGE!

We had our reception at Gino’s Surf in Harrison Twp, MI which recently closed.  We came in dancing to ‘Turn Down For What’ where my new husband hammed up his dance moves.  Looking back at my wedding video, I didn’t realize in front of our 250 guests, I made it rain on him <yikes>.  We did a family style dinner, followed by cake & dancing.  It was magical and I loved every minute of it.

I chose to wear white Crocs on my wedding day, even though many argued with me about it or thought I was joking.  I am fully aware how untraditional and hideous they are but I get grouchy when my feet hurt.  Don’t let anyone talk you out of something you want.  It’s your day, no regrets!   Also, my bridesmaid who is a surgeon, almost didn’t make it because she was in surgery the morning of the wedding.  She ended up only having her Danskin doctor shoes to wear the day of.  Although unplanned, I felt a sense of unity when someone else was rocking a comfy clog with a fancy dress.

We hired Detroit Bus Company to move around our wedding party throughout the day.  After we were done with photos, we sent the bus to run from the hotel to the reception every 45 minutes.  People LOVED this bus.  Our driver let us plug in our own music and it was a blast.  Also, my husband is a huge Steelers fan and our bus was called “The Bettis”.

If I had any advice to give a bride, it’d be to appoint someone to feed you on the day of your wedding.  I ate a granola bar followed by swigs of Fireball (see photo) and probably a bottle of wine - that’s all I had the whole day.  When we got to the reception, I scarfed down food and then felt ill for a couple hours.  Even if someone packs a PB&J or order a Jimmy Johns, it’s 100% worth it.“

What great advice Shannon! Ahh what a beautiful wedding! We here at Bombshell wish you and Greg all the happiness in the world! You both looked fantastic! Congratulations on your beautiful day!

  1. my name is carol and I live in USA, My life is back again... After 5 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with kids .I felt like my life was about to end and I almost committed suicide, I was emotionally down for a very long time.Thanks to a spell caster called dr. ovia, which I meet online, On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet and I came across a lot of testimonies about this particular spell caster.Some people testified that he brought their Ex boyfriend back, some testified that he restores Womb,Cure Cancer and Herpes Virus, and HIV,diabetics, hepatitis b, and other sickness, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and so on. I also come across one particular testimony and it was about a woman called jinni, she testified about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 2 days and at the end of her testimony she dropped Dr. ovia email address which is, droviaspiritualtemple@gmail.com After reading all these,I decided to give it a try and I contacted him through his via email and explained my problem to him. In just 48 hours, my husband came back to me, and we solved our issues, we are even happier than before Dr. ovia is really a gifted man and I will not stop testifying him because he is a wonderful man and so powerful, If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and genuine spell caster to solve all your problems. contact him on this email: droviaspiritualtemple@gmail.com or call him +2348135858735
    GOODLUCK......

12 Things Brides Forget Before Their Wedding Day

BRING EXTRA SHOES! Those gorgeous heels you bought? Yeah, by the time the reception rolls around your feet will be killing you! Bring an extra pair of flats so you can keep dancing and socializing the night away. You’ll thank me later. Decide what to do with the gifts. This is often forgotten during the wedding planning process, but still pretty important thing to remember! Make sure you assign someone to pack up the gifts and tell them where to take them. Especially if you are leaving on your honeymoon that night! You don’t want to decide what to do with them after you have had a few glasses of champagne. ;) Assign someone responsible to take care of the marriage license! Your officiant will take two copies and one is your souvenir. (Yes, you will sign three of them.) Make sure you don’t ask your cousin who has had 4 possibly 6 drinks that night already. A pretty hanger for your wedding dress. Since your dress will be photographed you want to make s...

#WeddingWednesday Taara + Malcolm 9-5-15

Wait until you see how beautiful Taara is! Their wedding was BEAUTIFUL! See what she had to say about her big day: "Our ceremony took place at Rock of  Ages Christian Ministries.   Our ceremony was short and sweet and only lasted about 20 minutes. My dad walked me down the aisle as my only brother sang to me.  I had my 2 favorite guys share this special moment with me and that meant everything to me. My husband and I exchanged vows and demonstrated us becoming one by taking part in a wine communion ceremony.  Once that was all said and done, we were introduced for the first time as Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Hatcher. My fiancé thought that I was the most beautiful bride in the world. He absolutely loved my dress. I felt like a princess in my wedding dress. I never in a million years though that I could feel that way ! Being plus size can put a lot of doubt in your mind when it comes to finding that perfect dress for on...

#WeddingWednesday Cori + Steven 10-24-15

Our wedding theme was paper airplanes because of a short film my husband and I fell in love with. We also were never huge fans of flowers being the focal point, so using paper was fun and unique to us. It also made wedding planning easier not having to handle real flowers so we could get things done months in advance.  It was in the fall so we did use mini pumpkins for escort cards, and we drilled wholes in big pumpkins and put changing LED lights in them. We had paper airplanes on our cake, my necklace, and even on our bouquets and boutonnieres! Also instead of a book for people to sign, we made paper airplanes to later put in a big shadow box.  One of the easiest parts of our 15 month wedding planning adventure was finding my dress! I had gone to a previous shop but it was more so to have a better idea as to what I actually liked and flattered me the most. So once I got to Bombshell finding my dress was amazingly simple and quick! I think my dress endin...
