A Classic Hotel Wedding at Bertram Inn & Conference Center in Aurora, Ohio
Eric Smith (30 a wedding DJ) and June Naowarat (33, a nail technician) met through eHarmony after June’s best friend set up their first date. They ended up walking over to a bar near June’s apartment and spent hours getting to know each other. They continued to build their relationship and eventually took the step of moving in together. One night June came home from work and saw what looked like Eric cleaning under their bed. Earlier that week, Eric had gotten upset at her about being neat, so it was a believable conclusion. Instead, Eric popped up with a bottle of champagne and a card to go with it. After June finished reading the card, Eric presented her with the engagement ring in a box. The couple had their wedding ceremony and reception at Bertram Inn & Conference Center in Aurora, Ohio. Eric's groomsman conducted the ceremony as the couple stood in front of an elegant white, linen backdrop. After the ceremony was finished, the space was transformed for the reception decked out in a navy, gold, lime and pink-purple color palette. Dining tables were decorated with two candelabras that held lit candles and small arrangements with assortments of hydrangeas, garden roses and orchids. “The day was the perfect blend of fun, emotion, class, and debauchery,” says June. “Turned out more perfect than either of us imagined.”
