Melani and Roland
back next



Melanie Trent had envisioned a wedding that was what every bride would wish for. A wedding that was magical and romantic - of course, with the man of her dreams by her side. That's just what she got when she met her husband Roland Arrigoni in their journey towards professional success. They earch discovered their destiny while river rafting one day. They not only fell in love with one another, but fell in love with rafting as well. Now, they jointly own their own rafting business together in West Virginia.

The couple chose the prestigious Biltmore Estate as the top choice for their special day. Just beside the estate, an elegant tent located on the terrace lawn proved to be the ideal location for a perfect ceremony. Naturally, the beauty provided by the backdrop of Biltmore Estate was impeccable. The terrace walls were immaculately garnished with precious fabric and rich garland. Butterflies were distributed to each guest as they arrived and patiently for Mr. and Mrs. Arrigoni to be announced for the very first time. The ring dog (a family pet) faithfully delivered the necessary rings. The guests were instructed to release the butterflies, which added to the already unforgettably wonderful feeling of beauty and isolation provided by the surrounding Smokey Mountains.

Melanie and Rolands wedding was one that I will always cherish, and so will their guests. Wedding Inspirations does help make dreams come true.
