Rollercoaster Romance
Bailey and Con were married surrounded by friends and family in the O'Rourke's family church - St. Matthews. Bailey glowed in a blush organza ball gown and matching blush heels with lace bows. Her ring was the special antique Con searched all over to find. She carried a bouquet of her favorite pink and white old-fashioned English roses. Her bridesmaids, including Syron's wife Jazelle, and Nan, were lovely in soft dove gray, and Syrone Spencer's three little girls wore fluffy white dresses as they sprinkled pink rose petals on the carpet ahead of Bailey's entrance. She floated down the aisle on Syrone's arm to Celtic Woman's "The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun," a perfect tribute to their forever love's triumph over darkness.

Zoe and Aidan threw a happy, informal Hawaiian beach wedding. Zoe's gown featured handmade beaded lace with a matching wristlet, and hand-beaded barefoot sandals. Her ring was the O'Rourke family heirloom Claddagh, handed down through generations. She carried a bouquet of fragrant fuchsia and white plumeria, and all the guests were adorned with Hawaiian leis. Her bridesmaids wore royal purple chiffon. A quartet accompanied by a solo singer performed the "Hawaiian Wedding Song" as she joined Aiden on the beach. Aidan hired a private nurse to fly to the islands with Mrs. Zagretti so she could attend her daughter's wedding. As the couple finished their vows, a gorgeous multicolor sunset streaked the sky...and Aidan surprised Zoe (and everyone) with a solo rendition of their special song, "You Really Got A Hold On Me" during their first dance on the beach, causing the bride to crack up.

Kate and Liam got married in a lovely, elegant ceremony inside the candlelit ballroom at the Riverside Art Museum. Liam's FBI Agent friend Alex Cortez joined Liam's brothers as a groomsman. Kate was resplendent in an off the shoulder Vera Wang gown. Her Cinderella open-toed satin shoes echoed the pleats in her gown and were adorned with lace and jewels. Her ring was the marquise cut diamond that Liam and Murphy presented to her at the dancing fountain in Las Vegas. Her bouquet featured white roses, white hydrangeas, white delphiniums and stephanotis, accented with soft greenery. Her bridesmaids, including Bailey and Zoe, looked amazing in emerald green chiffon. Sporting a bow tie, Murphy pranced proudly to the altar carrying the rings. Kate glided down the aisle to meet her ecstatic groom to Phil Collins's "This Love This Heart." (Click on the song title to listen). Liam surprised and thrilled Kate when her Irish Charmer finagled the one and only Phil Collins into singing live for their reception.
Sabrina's girlhood dream of marrying Grady finally came true as they joined together as husband and wife in St. Matthew's Church. Sabrina radiated joy in her mermaid gown adorned with hundreds of pearls. Pearls also decorated her white satin sandals and trimmed the edge of her veil. Grady bought her an exquisite ring featuring her favorite gemstone...a perfect sapphire. Her bouquet was sweet and simple ivory tulips, wrapped with a pearl-accented satin sapphire bow. Her sisters-in-law and her new friend Amy Percell were bridesmaids, gorgeous in sapphire satin. Amy's husband Roger joined Grady's brothers as a groomsman, and Mikey and Ford performed their dual ring bearer duties without a hitch. Grady teared up when Sabrina walked down the aisle on her father's arm to Ed Sheeran's song that beautifully captures their lifetime love story, "Perfect." (Click on the song title to listen).
