Eighty guests attended the March 27, 2015 event with classic white, pink and gold styling.<\/p>\n<p>Hand-made wedding invitations were the first to set the theme. \u201cBeing very crafty and wanting something unique, I decided to make the invitations myself,\u201d says April. Although they boasted a simple design, this bride battled with hundreds of microbeads to create the look she was after. \u201cI must have had a million beads all over the house,\u201d she laughs.<\/p>\n<p>April knew she had found \u201cthe one\u201d (the other important &#8220;one&#8221;), when a sales girl pulled her a Maggie Sottero gown. \u201cWhen I found out it was called \u2018April\u2019 \u2013 it was a done deal,\u201d smiles the bride. \u201cIt really seemed the dress was made just for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>April says the pair achieved their wedding goal which was all about the guests. \u201cWe said from the very beginning that we just wanted everyone that means the world to us to come along and have a good time, and we really felt that everyone did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>April and Alex honeymooned on Hayman Island.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of\u00a0<a title=\"Lucie Zeka\" href=\"http:\/\/www.luciezeka.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
