Crystalyn and Michael met on Match.com and after a few dates they knew they were meant to spend their lives together. Their wedding was at the beautiful Westfields Marriott in Chantilly, Virginia. Elegant, grand and romantic are the words that come to mind when describing their wedding celebration. Crystalyn wore two gorgeous wedding gowns on her big day - one for the ceremony and one for the reception - both provided by House of JonLei Atelier in Fort Washington, Maryland.
These shoes are amazing. That is all.
Crystalyn and Michael exchanged heartwarming notes to each other before their "no look, first look" where they had a chance to talk to each other and hold hands without seeing each other. They didn't see each other until Crystalyn walked down the aisle.
Crystalyn's dad walked her down the aisle where she then took Michael's hand. They exchanged vows, lit the unity candle and then it became official. After a few photos in fabulous dress one, Crystalyn changed into her second gown - tailor made for dancing.
The reception was filled with good food, dancing, toasts and cake - did I mention dancing? DJ X-Treme Sound kept the dance floor full the entire evening. Crystalyn was serenaded by her sorority sisters and then more dancing!
