December 16, 2023 // St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, reception at the USA President’s Home
Lee and Andrew’s December wedding day was a vision of simple beauty filled with meaningful details from start to finish. Lush white flowers gave an elegant touch to the storybook venue, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, the same church the bride and groom grew up attending. A large collection of family and friends from across the country, all representative of various stages of the couple’s lives, congregated for the black-tie affair. After the ceremony, shuttles transported guests from the church to the reception venue, the USA president’s home, that was adorned in exquisite florals and a grand tent on the lawn. The new Mr. and Mrs. Friedman made their reception entrance led by the Excelsior Band, which gave way to cake cutting and toasts. At long tables bearing glowing candelabras and romantic florals, guests enjoyed an array of food and drinks before the band’s energetic music prompted them to take to the dance floor. The fete stretched into the night as guests celebrated the new chapter of the newlyweds’ love story.
