Cierra & Chris celebrated their wedding on a beach at sunset…
Set against a backdrop of white sands and shimmering turquoise sea, Cierra and Chris’s beachfront wedding at Ocean City, Maryland was a breathtaking affair that perfectly captured the essence of love and natural beauty. The location of the wedding holds a special place in the newlywed’s hearts as they’ve been going there as a couple for years, ever since they first started dating.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, it cast a warm glow across the sandy shores, just as Cierra made her grand entrance adorned in a whimsical gown fit for royalty. Chris, waiting at the altar, was captivated by her beauty, his eyes filled with adoration and anticipation. “I felt like a true princess in my dress,” gushed the bride. “It has a long gorgeous train which I always wanted on my wedding dress. And I wore a gorgeous morganite and diamond necklace that Chris gave me as a wedding gift.”
The ceremony took place on the pristine beach, with the gentle ocean breeze carrying the sweet scent of saltwater and the sound of crashing waves, creating a serene and romantic atmosphere. Gold and burgundy petals lined the aisle, guiding Cierra towards her happily ever after. “The ceremony seemed like a scene from out of a movie,” recalled Cierra. “As my dad joined me at the beach to walk me down the aisle, I prayed for a sign that my departed loved ones were with me. Just then, a butterfly flew past my head, bringing a smile to my face. Walking with my dad, he pointed out a pod of dolphins swimming near the beautiful arbor where Chris awaited me.”
As the couple exchanged heartfelt vows, their love echoed through the air, intertwining with the rhythmic melody of the ocean. Friends and family, seated on elegant white chairs, were moved by the sincerity and depth of their commitment. Their special day unfolded like a dream, leaving an everlasting impression on all 80 guests who were fortunate enough to witness it. Following the ceremony, the celebration continued at a beautifully decorated beachfront reception. The dance floor became a stage for joyous celebration as the sound of music mingled with the crashing waves, creating a symphony of happiness and bliss. Guests were treated to a delectable feast, featuring fresh seafood delicacies that paid homage to the coastal charm of Ocean City. The clinking of glasses and laughter filled the air as heartfelt toasts were made, celebrating the love and happiness that Cierra and Chris had found in each other.
