The rehearsal dinner at the Biltmore Hotel preceded the ceremony at the Church of the Little Flower, where Brennan's parents had married years before. The celebration at Douglas Entrance was filled with laughter, love, and family warmth.

Bride's Preparation

A special touch was the presence of a "bridesman," a close friend who brought unique energy to the preparations. Watching this group help Natassia with everything from dress adjustments to final touches was inspiring, showcasing the strong bonds that make these moments unforgettable.
