The tunnel went dark for a few seconds, but you could still feel the wedding party smiling. The tunnel was silent for a few seconds but you could still feel it humming with energy. All the sudden lights and speakers simultaneously burst into our presence – AC/DC, “For Those About to Rock.” Engulfed in flashing green, white and yellow lights and hearing the infamous, bouncing guitar riff of Angus Young, the party couldn’t help but bob their heads and rock to the groove. A massive Philadelphia Eagles sign lit the path out of the tunnel and onto Lincoln Financial Field. Breyanne and Chuck, soon to be husband and wife, led their wedding party onto to the field….and to think this was only part of their wedding day at the Linc.
Getting Ready at the Double Tree
A new year, a new beginning. Breyanne, Chuck and the rest of the party started the morning off getting ready at the Double Tree Hilton off Broad St in downtown Philadelphia. The hotel was nice and cozy, but Breyanne and Chuck are the kind of couple that it wouldn’t even matter how freezing cold it was, their kindness, genuineness and smiles could keep you warm.
Sun shone through the big corner windows where Breyanne’s dress hung awaiting her. The green bows, the green gowns, the green ties, the green handkerchiefs all set the theme and put an end to any question whether or not their love was true….for each other and the Philadelphia Eagles. A proud mother, daughter, son, brother, sister, friend all shared laughter and reminisced about good old times only for Breyanne to let loose some tears reading her husband’s letter, full of inside jokes, gifts and exactly what Breyanne needed. Light danced off Breyanne’s dress and earrings and her daughter and girls were all glowing in green.
Meanwhile Chuck, Charlie and the rest of the boys were looking sharp in their 3 piece grey suits accented with Eagles pride. Chuck checked his new watched and it was about that time. The two parties were ready to meet in the heart of Old City at the Merchant Exchange Building for portraits and a surprise tour of the Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia. The first quarter was a success and Breyanne and Chuck were an early favorite.
Lincoln Financial Field Portraits & Private Tour
Chuck stood shivering in front of the Merchant Exchange building, waiting to see his soon to be wife for the first time. Breyanne hiked up her gown and wrapped her fur tightly around her shoulders as she walked around the corner of the building to see her soon to be husband for the first time. She approached slowly and tapped his shoulder. He turned, they embraced and the flood of love washed over everyone. Chuck swore the sniffling was from the below freezing temperatures not the emotions of seeing his wife. The rest of the team joined in for portraits to put a stamp on the second quarter lead for the hometown favorites. It was time for the halftime special, a look at where the Eagles call home – Lincoln Financial Field.
There is no better way to celebrate this true Championship Couple, Breyanne and Chuck, than a private tour of Lincoln Financial Field. Before we entered the tunnel described earlier, we got a first-hand look at the Eagles locker room. The party spread out across the locker room, sitting down at their favorite player’s station. Chuck bear hugged the glass encased Vince Lombardi trophy while Breyanne eyed Devonte Smith’s locker. After the locker room, it was into the tunnel. Out of the tunnel, the party rushed the 50-yard line.
Out on Lincoln Financial Field, the wedding party lined up, 3 point, girls versus boys, of course. The jumbotron flashed images of the Eagle’s Superbowl win. The boys and girls rushed each other and the end zone, anything to stay warm in the moment. The portraits say it all – a bunch of true, real fans, gracing the field of their heroes. After the fun on the field the team headed up to the VIP section for some city sky line portraits to end the tour, but not the day.
Reception and Ceremony at Arts Ballroom
After the half time show at Lincoln Financial field was over, it was time for the second half, the most important part of the day. The Arts Ballroom of Philadelphia captures the elegance of a bygone era and was the perfect venue for the radiant and beautiful bride Breyanne. She walked down the signature granite staircase, heads turning, Chuck laser focused. He couldn’t blame his sniffles on the weather here. The Grand Ballroom, full of family and friends got to witness true love. After Breyanne and Chuck said their vows, sealed it with a kiss, the party was ready to begin. Third quarter blowout!
The Sylvania Room, adjacent to the Grand Ballroom hosted cocktail hour as the Ballroom cleared way for the dance floor. Everyone celebrated the newlyweds and got down on the dance floor in good fashion. Fourth quarter for the win and game, a wedding to remember forever! Thank you for the great times Breyanne and Chuck!
