Tara McConnell's Magical Wedding Weekend

by - edited

Hello, foodies...

What an honor and a privilege to be a part of Tara McConnell's magical wedding weekend! As you would expect, Tara and her man, Ed planned everything down to the last perfect detail.

The wedding took place in Delaware overlooking Rehoboth Bay on Saturday, July 9, 2016. 70 family members and friends gathered for the outdoor ceremony. Mother Nature has been threatening rain all day ... But an hour before start time ... It cleared and the wedding was ready to begin.

I had the great honor of escorting Tara's mother, Gail down the aisle. She was dressed in beautiful periwinkle and she was practically beaming with pride and happiness for Tara.

Tara was escorted by her now new father-in-law, Sydney, given that her beloved father, George passed away several years ago. We honored Tara's late father and Ed's late mother with a moment of silence.

The bride & groom.

Mark Charles Misilli, our foodie friend, officiated the ceremony.

After the ceremony, it was inside for the dinner and dancing reception. The food was amazing and several QVC friends were in attendance!

Jane Treacy & Jill Bauer attended too!

And, of course, Mary DeAngelis joined us too.

The happy couple, Ed & Tara.

Later in the evening, I was caught on camera sneaking a taste of the icing from the back of the wedding cake. It looked so good, I couldn't resist. HAPPY DANCE!

I snuck a taste of the icing!

Congratulations to the happy couple!

At the end of the day, we were all so thrilled for this amazing couple ... So in love ... So compatible and so perfect for one another! I am a lucky guy to have had the chance to witness this wonderful expression of love and commitment.

Congratulations Tara and Ed. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

Keep it flavorful!
