Once upon a time there was bold young princess, and a dashing young prince. They met, and the rest is, well…the story of our daughter Beth and new son-in-law Sergio. This is a pretty Facebook-y photoblog, but many of you have become real friends, and have asked for pictures of their recent wedding — which my wife oversaw and I officiated. We noticed the sparks the moment they met. Not surprising, since they’re both avid fantasy gamers, anime lovers, and performers. Beth is also an illustrator and clothing designer. And Sergio is a writer, game reviewer, and online host. So it seemed only natural to present their wedding here with the fairytale tone it had.

what a lovely wedding! I remember when the wedding cake had at least one tier…and a bride and groom on top and that was it…my Mother said hers cost $41 and change and that included topper. Now they have cake testings and all sorts of stuff. Marriage was simpler then 😉 Wishing all the best to the young couple! <3
Thanks, Jean!
Hope everything in the marriage works out well. Sadly heard of a different, but surprisingly similar story….but won’t bore you with details. Just make sure they are good to each other and have a long happy marriage 🙂
Did I hear you say one tier? That’s almost an abomination now😂. I can’t even imagine it
;>)
LOL….I think mine had a bottom level and one more level with the little bride and groom thing perched on top. I think it was considered sensible for the day (1980’s) 😀
😅😅😅😂
Now, I’m remembering my own wedding! 😆 Thanks for sharing this memorable event in you and your daughter’s life, Mitch. 😊
My privilege, Adel.
Congratulations to the happy couple!!
Thanks, Liz!
You’re welcome, Mitch!
Mitch, these are such amazing photos! They’re an adorable couple, and it looks like everyone had a great time, too!
They did. Thank you, Tre!
The photos are wonderful, Mitch, and the couple are too… thanks so much for sharing them with us! I’m sure many prayers have gone up for their success (marriage, life) , and more will surely be needed in the days ahead, this is a weird world we live in these days. Thanks again. Be blessed! Bette
Thank you, Bette, and, yes, prayers are always needed!
What a memorable wedding! That cake!

Congratulations and well done! What a great joy!

Lovely love story. You folks all dress up beautifully too! The cake was definitely the centrepiece! I know that our Lord will shower blessings on the youngsters as they move on through life together.

Beautiful photos, Mitch! Thanks for sharing.
Mitch, this made my day ~ simply beautiful post, story, and as you well point out an amazingly beautiful couple as well 🙂 Awesome and congratulations on the joy!
Thank you, Dalo!
Ahhh, super cute! We love wedding pics. Congratulations, Mitch. 🙂
Thanks!
I smiled all the way through this post! Your daughter is beautiful and her groom is handsome – and they both look like they had fun!
Congratulations on a beautiful wedding. That cake is just georgous!
Thank you!
Fascinating pictures. Looks like a fun celebration.
I hadn’t realized you were an ordained pastor!
Beautiful in all respects. Is that a Totoro wedding cake? Epic if it is 😃
No, it’s Snorlax, a Pokemon character.
Aah looks like the Japanese character Totoro 😃
I agree! It’s in the anime style that the legendary Hayao Miyazaki (creator of Totoro) had a great deal of influence on.
What a beautiful wedding! I wish them all the luck, happiness and abundance for their future. 😀
Thank you, Damyanti!
Wow! What a beautiful wedding, so fun and fairytale, such creative folks! Thanks for sharing the pictures and brightening our day. Wishing them congratulations and may their lives continue to flourish in joy, love and creative fun!
Thank you, Jo!
They look like such a fun couple. The pictures are wonderful and I’m sure it was an amazing day. Wishing them all the best as they begin their lives together.
Thanks, Carla.
Beautiful shots! They are a dashing couple and you are looking mighty spiffy in that tux. Thanks for sharing your family album with us.
My pleasure, Pete.
Looks like a wonderful wedding ❤️
How much fun is this!! It’s the kind of day that makes you say “wish I was there!” Was that the wedding cake or the groom’s cake? In certain areas, having a groom’s cake is a traditional part of the reception. I learned that when our first son got married. Congrats to Beth and Sergio! May they always be this happy! 🥂 🎊 ❣️
That was the wedding cake (I’ve never heard of a groom’s cake). Thanks, Nancy!
Neither had I. Apparently it’s a ‘thing’ down south where my daughter-in-law is from. The cake is supposed to be something of significance to the groom (obviously). My son’s cake was R2D2; no questions were necessary. 🪐
😂😂😂😂
;>)
Thanks for sharing the photos. Your heart must be filled to overflowing. I absolutely love it when the personalities and stories of the couple are woven throughout a wedding ceremony. It looks like this wedding was spot-on in that department – everything from Beth’s dress to the cake. Congratulations to Beth and Sergio!
Thank you, Cindie!
Looks like it was a wonderful day for all. Congratulations again. God bless!
Thank you so much, Nancy.
Congratulations to the pretty Princess, her Great Mom & Dad & the Prince!
My warmest wishes!
So so beautiful…
დდდ
Thank you, Gol!
Great images! Praises and prayers for their future together. And sparks. I certainly know about sparks – it was that way when I first met the woman who later became my wife and Sister-in-Christ. And we are still sparkly 25 years on.
Sparkle on, Eric!
How lovely!! Congratulations, Mitch!
Thank you, secret friend. ;>)
Thank you for putting together the montage with all the explanatory notes. Delightful! Beth looks every bit a princess in that royal gown she designed!
<3
So fun looking at these wedding photos. Looks like Beth got your artistic side and Trudy’s beauty side. I love when a wedding reflects the personalities of the bride & groom.
True, but one caveat, Mary: Trudy was an art major in college, and is an excellent illustrator, so Beth definitely tapped that source too!
oh wow! I didn’t know that. She got the artistic genes from both sides then. She was destined to be an artist. Actually, she does look a little like the both of you, too.
;>)
The cake gave me a laugh. Congrats to the couple!
Congratulations to the happy couple!!
Thanks for sharing the photos, Mitch! The wedding looked both beautiful and fun. And congratulations on your new family member!
Thanks, Ann!
For some reason I don’t see my comment, so I’m posting again lol. They look so adorable together. Wishing them much happiness 😊 😁
Thank you, Christina.

Lovely wedding and memories via your lens.
Congratulations to the couple and to you. Everything is on point, I enjoyed the slideshow 🥳
Thank you, Khair.
We really like your story and would like to include an excerpt in our summer issue of Undead Weddings. Please let us know if it is okay to feature you.
Hi, FB. I’m flattered, but would need to know a bit more (and to check with my daughter and son-in-law). I’m not clear how the recent wedding of two real life people would be used on a site about vampires.
Excellent question. What we do is write an article about a real world subject as it relates to our characters. Then we feature quotes from other bloggers in the video about the subject. Our last wedding issue was in June 2020 if you’d like to see how your quote will be used. We don’t use any of your pictures. Just something that stood out about your story.
I believe the quote we wanted to highlight was “we noticed the sparks…”. Yes, it was their wedding so we knew you’d have to run it by them. It’s really touching when the father of the bride notices the sparks and that’s what we loved the most in your post. No worries if you decide against it 😊
Nice post 😄
Wonderful story, and what a privilege you had to officiate the wedding? Great joy.
Thanks, Rusty, and yes, it was indeed!
They look so adorable together. Wishing them much happiness 😊 😁
now adays a lot of friendship start from social media and games
A beautiful lovelyyy post ! ♡
