Capturing the Love

By Lisa; On Saturday, July 8, 2017, the weather was spectacular in every way for the ceremony of Leah Dempster and Geoff Miles who said their vows before family and friends at the Village Presbyterian Church in Prairie Village, KS; www.villagepres.org Reverend Tom Are presided over the blessed couple. Millie's Event Designs; www.millieseventdesigns.com was on site as the "day of" coordinator overseeing every detail to make sure that Leah and Geoff’s wedding was the "best day ever"!


As the ceremony came to a close Reverend Are presented for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Geoff Miles.  It was then off to the reception at Indian Hills Country Club; www.ihcckc.com The bridal party arrived joining the cocktail reception, while the bride and groom made their way to a private room to cut their cake and have their pictorial champagne toast.

The guests were chimed into the ballroom at half past six.  Anticipation grew as the guests awaited for the band “Twice on Sunday”; www.toskc.com to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Goeff Miles to the stage. The bride's father joined the newlyweds as he welcomed family and friends to this beautiful night.

Guests enjoyed a pre-set signature salad of Bibb lettuce, honey-buttered pecans, goat cheese, strawberries, balsamic vinaigrette. It was then time to serve the entree' of chicken piccata with herb whipped potatoes, garlic and roasted asparagus.  Once the last table had been served, it was then time for the evening's festivities.

The bride's father made his way up to the stage where he gave a heartfelt speech.  Next for the guests was the maid of honor who began her speech.  To the guests great surprise, the maid of honor concluded with the bride joining her in a blast from their past as they sang “Africa” by Toto karaoke style. The best man then gave his speech which was followed by the traditional father and daughter dance. Geoff and his mother had their traditional mother and son dance to the song “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. Next it was time for the bride and groom to have their first dance to the song “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran. It was then time to open the dance floor and let the party begin!

After the band had played a full set, the newlyweds asked for their guests to gather outside to form a sparkling canopy to celebrate the newly married Mr. and Mrs. Geoff Miles.  The newlyweds danced thru canopy and on into the night with family, friends and guests.
