A Night to Remember: A Wedding Filled with Love, Dance, and Pom-poms





Some love stories start with a spark, and for Alison and Mahesh, that spark ignited on the dance floor. They met one unforgettable night while out dancing with friends, and from the very first beat, they knew something special was in the air. Fast forward to their wedding day, and the same rhythm that brought them together was woven through every moment of their celebration.


Their day began at the stunning Mount Hope Farm in Bristol, Rhode Island, where Alison got ready in the historic Governor Bradford House—a home that once hosted both George Washington, and much later Dr. Seuss. In the sun-drenched rooms of the house, Alison posed for breathtaking bridal portraits, her dress catching the golden light as excitement built for the day ahead.

Afterwards, set against the lush landscapes and historic charm of the venue, the couple shared a private first look on the grounds before the ceremony. Beneath the canopy of trees, with the sun casting a warm glow, Alison and Mahesh saw each other for the first time—a moment brimming with emotion and anticipation. The weather was perfect, with clear skies and a gentle breeze adding an extra touch of magic to the day.


Their outdoor ceremony was anything but bland—it was vibrant and full of life, with a large bridal party and many loved ones present to share in their joy. Laughter and music filled the air as they walked down the aisle, surrounded by their closest friends and family, creating a lively and celebratory atmosphere that perfectly reflected Alison and Mahesh’s love for one another.


For the ceremony exit, guests were given handmade pom-poms in vibrant colors. As Alison and Mahesh stepped into the sunshine as newlyweds, guests were ready! With laughter and joy all around, a burst of colorful pom-poms filled the air, a perfect reflection of the couple's playful energy and love for the unexpected.

The reception at the historic Barn of the venue, of course, was where the real magic happened.



True to their roots, the dance floor was packed from start to finish, with family and friends showing off their best moves.

And the couple had one more surprise in store for the reception: a fun outfit change! Alison stepped out in a whimsical pink gown, and Mahesh in a vibrant and bold blue suit. It was the perfect way to kick off an evening of nonstop dancing, laughter, and celebration.

From the stunning setting at Mount Hope Farm to the lively pom-poms and spirited dancing, Alison and Mahesh’s wedding was a perfect reflection of their love—full of life, fun, and endless joy.
