Melyssa Weller and Timothy Giangarlo met as university students in Pittsburgh. They were staying at the Omni Resort of Bedford Springs when Tim surprised Melyssa in the hotel room with a proposal. Champagne followed, and a call to share the wonderful news with family.
Theirs was one of the first weddings to be celebrated at the Easton Wine Project at the Simon Silk Mill, a small venue perfect for their intimate ceremony. A ring warming station allowed guests to bless their rings before being seated to hear vows the couple had written themselves. A photo interlude in Downtown Easton before the reception included their favorite mural. At the reception, a special dollar dance gave the couple a chance to speak with each guest, donating all of the proceeds. Doughnuts, cupcakes and a Pittsburgh cookie table took the place of a traditional cake, satisfying guests with decadent variety.
