On Saturday we were at The Terrace Room in Butler Pennsylvania. The event was a wedding reception for John and Grace Jerasa. Grace and John were married at 3:00 pm at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Dorseyville PA. Guests began arriving at The Terrace Room at 5:00 pm where they enjoyed cocktails and butler passed appetizers as the bridal party posed for photographs with Lucy Schaly of Lucy’s Weddings.
At 5:45 pm we formally introduced the bridal party into the banquet hall and then Grace and John cut their wedding cake before dinner. Dinner was prepared by the culinary staff at The Terrace Room and was served buffet style.
After dinner, the newlyweds shared in their first dance together as husband and wife to the song I Won’t Give Up by Jason Mraz. After dancing with the bridal party, Grace danced with her father Mr. Michael Holupka and John danced with his mother Ms. Joyce Jerasa to the song What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong.
