On a perfect June day, also their six month anniversary of dating, Ranji packed a picnic basket to take to Bde Maka Ska Park in Minneapolis. Being that they had dated long distance, Lora from Des Moines and Ranji from Minneapolis, both knew they were ready to be married. The two enjoyed the sunshine and snacks before Ranji took out a custom-made book with the two of them as cartoon characters. The book was entitled, “15 reasons I love you.” As Ranji read through this special book to Lora she quickly realized how the book might end. Sure enough, the last page came, and Ranji asked Lora if she would marry him. He placed a beautiful ring on her finger as she proclaimed a loving yes!
Lora and Ranji chose to host their wedding at Bearpath Country Club in Eden Prairie Minnesota. They wanted to make the holiday weekend one their guests from near and far could relax and enjoy while still celebrating with them. They ladies began their day by getting ready at Sanctuary Salon and Spa in Eden Prairie Center. They then made their way to the country club where Lora got into her beautiful Mori Lee dress from the Wedding Shoppe. Lora’s bridesmaids all wore a beautiful periwinkle dress in different styles by Birdy gray. Their beautiful bouquets created by Aneta’s European Floral which consisted of peonies, poppies, garden roses and greens were a stunning array of color which added to the July day. Ranji and his groomsmen got into their grey suits from Men’s Wearhouse in the grooms suite and then headed out to meet his beautiful bride. We utilized the beautiful greens of Bearpath for photos of the two of them, then family and their stunning and kind wedding party.
Guests from near and far arrived to celebrate Lora and Ranji. As they made their way to their seats, they were presented with fans as programs and asked to sign into a beautiful guestbook. The ceremony begin, and guests were overjoyed to see Lora in her stunning dress. Her father gave her away and then proceeded to address the couple with a beautiful homily. Lora and Ranji’s pastor did the rest of the ceremony and they exchanged beautiful gold rings from Shane Co. As the ceremony concluded, Lora and Ranji were pronounced husband and wife, and exited with rose petals thrown at them to make for a beautiful start of a beautiful marriage.
During the cocktail hour, guests were served colorful mock tails and tasty appetizers. We finished up the family photos and then headed into their reception. The coupe chose chicken or beef dinner and Thirsty Whale Bakery created the most incredible cake to match the floral array of the day. DJ Rick got the party going and Glamour Spin Camera Booth allowed guests to get a memorable experience of the day as they danced and twirled for the camera. Sam Adjei, a good friend of the couple, caught the entire day on video. The night ended as guests were escorted outside for a fun sparkler exit to celebrate the memorable day! Thank you, Lora and Ranji for allowing me to be a part of your day. Have a wonderful honeymoon in the Riviera Maya together! Congratulations!
