A beautiful summer day celebrating true love at the Natirar estate
As the early afternoon sun glistened over the Mansion at Natirar, Jill was surrounded by her closest friends and loved ones, all eager to share in the excitement of her big day.
Champagne flowed and laughter filled the room as everyone chatted about the wonder of weddings and fated meetings.
Jill and Christian had met nearly a decade prior at a summer camp as young counselors. Neither had the intention to find a summer romance, let alone continue their relationship across state lines, since he was a Florida boy, and she was a Jersey girl.
Unbenounced to them, fate had different plans, plans that included endless late night phone calls, falling madly in love, and a Mansion at Natirar wedding many years later.

Popping champagne and confetti at the beautiful grounds of Natirar
After some photos outside in her bridal robe, Jill and her mother went into the bridal suite to get ready for the first look. Her mother helped her into her stunning Tom Sebastien wedding gown in the bright room, carefully adjusting the intricate beading as the final touches were added to her hair and makeup before she turned to see herself in the full length mirrors.
The result was a stunning bride, radiating natural beauty and joy as she prepared to marry the love of her life, knowing it had been worth the wait.
Meanwhile, Christian relaxed with his favorite people in the grandeur of the Mansion's common room, eagerly awaiting the first look with his bride-to-be before guests arrived.
