Taressa & Mike in Orlando, FL

Taressa and Mike found that their vision of the perfect wedding didn't fit into a specific theme, so they let the style of the bride's gown guide them to a romantic and elegant celebration filled with exotic orchids. The Bride Taressa Langford The Groom Mike George The Date October 23 The wedding bells never stopped ringing for Taressa and Mike. Eight years after first meeting while they were working part-time in Tallahassee, Taressa, 29, an office manager for an architectural design firm, and Mike, 28, a sales rep, traveled to Barbados for their friends' wedding. On their last night in paradise, Mike surprised her with a proposal. After that, it was hard to finish our meal, and even harder to look at anything other than my ring! Taressa says.
