The Grand Ballroom of the Sofitel Water Tower Hotel , with a 20-foot-high window and a spectacular view was the venue for Lauren and Michael's wedding on Friday evening.
This was my second wedding at the Sofitel and as I said before, the ballroom is stunning and the staff of the hotel were helpful and pleasant to work with. They reset the room for the dinner and it looked like an entirely different room.
Courtney Lawhn and a violinist provided the wonderful music for the ceremony. You can contact Courtney at courtneylawhn@yahoo.com. John Straus was the photographer and his business card says the photograph proofs will available on his sight in three weeks. The room was decorated beautifully, I bet the photos will be outstanding.
Michael and Lauren included the Polish wedding tradition of having their parents share bread, in hopes that they will never hunger or be in need, salt as a reminder that their life may be difficult at times and they must learn to cope with life's struggles and wine, in hopes that they will never thirst and will have a life of good health and good cheer and share the company of many good friends. It was a lovely and tender moment in the ceremony.
