Andrew and Ellen's Wedding - Reception Dinner Table for the Bride and Groom (pre-flowers)

As anyone who's attended an American wedding knows, the bride and groom have their own center-stage place during the reception.  To make this setup even more conspicuous, the table was positioned at the bottom of a grand staircase, which served as a visual funnel that zeroed all eyes on the blushing couple.  I can hardly imagine a more uneasy position to be in, where expectations are high and all eyes are on your every move.  This pic was captured before the table was adorned beautifully with flowers in each vase lining the front.  At least those provided a hedge of sorts between the couple and everyone else in attendance.
