ove is sweet, especially for Jennifer Casey and Justin Tyburski. After four years of dating, the couple went to her parents’ house to have cake for Justin’s birthday. “My mom took the cake out of the refrigerator and placed it on the table, opened the box, and it read ‘Will You Marry Me?’” The tasty proposal was just the beginning of a sweet happily ever after. They celebrated their summer wedding at The Club at Nevillewood, a venue that won them over after just one meeting. “We immediately fell in love with the ballroom and outdoor patio,” Jennifer says. “We liked that there were multiple balconies off the ballroom, so our guests could go outside and look at the beautiful golf course.” During the reception, guests enjoyed a choice of white cake with raspberry filling, red devil’s food cake, or carrot cake, served with or without ice cream. But the icing on the eventful evening for Jennifer was “sitting at the sweetheart table, eating dinner together as husband and wife while reminiscing about the day.” The couple danced the rest of the night away on the packed ballroom floor before heading to Clearwater, Fla., for their honeymoon getaway.

The candelabra centerpieces with cascading flowers perfectly matched the gold chandeliers in the ballroom.
“There are so many details, so stay organized and do not sweat the little stuff,” Jennifer says. “Something will probably go wrong, but in the end, make sure to laugh it off.”
“Six weeks before the wedding, my mom was diagnosed with cancer,” Jennifer says. “Justin was my rock through everything and my shoulder to cry on. I knew I was marrying the man of my dreams with the way he helped us through the devastating news.” And she’s happy to report her mother is now cancer free!
