Pointsettias and the smell of pine.   White lights and holly.   And….a Christmas wedding.   Dana and Jim chose December to get married.   They met on February 2  nine years ago at a dance in high school.   Dana went to Archbishop Ryan and Jim, Father Judge.  When asking the bridesmaids (whose makeup looked fantastic,  by the way,  thanks to Erin Konzelman of Salon Zen in Warrington PA) for a little info about the couple, they said…. “they have just always been together.”   Today they made it official by exchanging vows at St. Matthews Church in Philadelphia.   Cescaphe Trolly transported the entire bridal party to Marsico for an energetic reception where Mark from Celebration Sound  DJ Entertainers kept the music going and dance floor packed all night.   The lobby of Marsico was decorated with a huge christmas tree.   A few bridesmaids agreed that Dana and Jim work way too much and way too hard.   However, they find time to enjoy going to Phillies games, Wildwood, a yearly family vacation in Ocean City NJ, Chickies and Pete’s and something called OCMD ( (Ocean City Maryland.)   They are both very devoted to their friends and their black lab puppy Pearl.   Something you probably don’t know about them is that Jim’s favorite song is Love Shack and Dana loves New Kids on the Block.   Dana and Jim will honeymoon in Disney World.
