Andy and Stephanie had a beautiful fall wedding on Lake Seneca. The weather was spectacular with blue skies and water the color of the bridesmaid's dresses. The football theme matched the season and their fanatical following of their favorite teams- Penn State and Syracuse. 
The vows were exchanged in the afternoon under a tent on the lakeside. The strings played softly as the bridesmaids and young flower girls and ring bearers processed down the aisle. 
The bridal party had a special cocktail hour on a beautiful houseboat out on Lake Seneca before the wedding reception began at the hotel on the lakefront.
The cocktail hour for the quests was out on the decks looking over the water and the wedding feast was inside the hotel. The food was very good with lobster, steak and tuna as the main course. Steve, father of the bride, gave a sincere speech and played a special song for Andy-"Take Good Care of My Baby." Joe, father of the groom, said some beautiful words and the best men and maids of honor also had words of advice for the happy couple. Stephanie put together a sweet video of their lives growing up which we all enjoyed. The DJ was really good and we danced and had a GREAT time celebrating together. Andy gave a short performance as a Blues Brother which was STELLER!
It was so good to see the Chando siblings together enjoying a family celebration. I know Mom Mary Chando was smiling and nodding her approval from heaven over this moment of family unity. She would have been so very proud and happy on this special day. It was so sweet of Stephanie to design a unique bead with Bo and Mary's picture in miniature form on MaryAnne's nosegay. As Mom would have said, "Beautiful!"
