The couple exchanged vows during an early-evening ceremony held in the outdoor gardens of The Fox Hill Inn, a Victorian-style mansion. The couple’s 120 guests were greeted with champagne and cocktails as they arrived. Shannon wore a classic, satin, strapless wedding gown by Lazaro and a borrowed diamond necklace that her father had given to her mother on their anniversary earlier that month. Patrick wore a black tuxedo paired with a cream-colored vest and tie from Modern Formals.

A wedding celebrates the anniversary of one couple's first date
Shannon knew she wanted to marry Patrick in the fall, her favorite season—not just because of the colors, smells and crisp weather, but it’s when she and her groom began dating. Fittingly, their September wedding took place the exact weekend of their anniversary. The couple emphasized the season with a gold, cream and brown color scheme, and decorated the reception with pumpkins, mums and candles.
