A Classic Summer Wedding at Skylands Manor

Michelle and Michael's wedding was a heartfelt celebration of love, years in the making. From the start of their planning journey, they knew they wanted to exchange their own vows aloud—a decision that brought unparalleled meaning to their ceremony. They chose a charming church, officiated by Michael’s godfather. The sacredness of the day was felt not only in the chapel’s serene atmosphere but also in the raw, genuine vows they shared, embodying their deep devotion. The packed church radiated love, creating an unforgettable moment. Their first dance was another highlight. Dancing has been a cherished part of their connection for decades, from their time as middle school sweethearts to close friends and, ultimately, life partners. Yet, nothing compared to the joy and excitement they felt at that moment. Their journey, from rekindling their romance in California to planning their New Jersey wedding, beautifully culminated in a day filled with love, history, and celebration.
