It rained all morning on wedding day. Luckily, everyone was prepared. “Brandywine Manor House has back-up plan after back-up plan,” says Vesna.
As Vesna prepared to meet her groom under the roof of a barn, the skies cleared, allowing for a first-look moment on a nearby bridge. Vesna walked down the aisle in the communion veil she and her mom had purchased in Ireland 23 years prior—her “something old.” The newly married duo attended a cocktail hour before making their way to the simple yet elegantly decorated
celebration space. “We were
able to actually enjoy the wedding,”
Vesna says. “You hear these horror stories
of couples who regret things because they didn’t get to dance, eat or enjoy the company of their guests. Eric and I made it a point
to dance and enjoy our wedding the
entire time.” TH
