Nate and Ashlee:: Minneapolis wedding

It was his 30th birthday.  Ashlee and Nate were with a group of friends celebrating Nate’s life and enjoying time together.  Just as everyone had finished singing to him, Nate made a special birthday speech witch consisted of reflecting on his relationship with Ashlee and their joy together over the last year and a half.  As he got ready to blow out his candles, he surprised everyone by turning to Ashlee and getting down on one knee while presenting a special diamond and sapphire promise ring (with the real engagement ring later to come) and asked her to be his wife. He explained how the sapphire was not only his birthstone,  but symbolized truth, sincerity and faithfulness; three of the things he promised to live by in their relationship.  Ashlee replied a resounding yes, while Nate continued to blow out his candles with delight; his wish had come true!

Their wedding day was one filled with love and much joy!  It was an honor to document your day for you, many blessings for the years to come!

    Alex & Susie:: Women’s Club wedding

    Late June of 2012, Alex and Susie were vacationing in Chicago to explore the city together.  Alex made a reservation at a local tapas resturant to replacate the couple’s first date in Minneapolis which was at another tapas restaurant.  After enjoying a delicios meal and waiting for dessert, Alex took Susie’s hands in his and said, “Eres el amor de mi vida.  Ser mi mujer, la madre de mis hijos, mi companero para siempre.  Casa me.” (You are the love of my life.  Be my woman, the mother of my children, my companion forever.  Marry me.)  He then pulled out a beautiful white gold diamond ring from his pocket and awaited Susue’s responce.  Utterly speechless and somewhat stunned, Susie responded with a “YES!” while wiping away tears.  When thier flan arrived the two were discussing their future together.

    A fabulously hot day, these two were such a joyful and fun group to work with.  Oh and did I mention, these two know how to throw a party!  Susie and Alex, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day.  Many, many blessings to you both!

      Alex & Susie:: Details of a Women’s Club wedding

      Tradition mixed with chemistry.  Those were the themes for Alex and Susie’s wedding day.  With roots in Spain, Alex brought into the wedding day his Spanish heritage.  Details ranging from a traditional toast, hand made Chantilly Lace veil for Susie, Alex’s mother walking him down the asile, a Flanenco dance, handing out gifts to their guests during dinner and an ice sculpture of a bull were just a few of the things that helped create the Spanish mood.  Susie’s family, of Sweedish decent, added Lingonberry tarts, sweet potato cakes, a polka, and a couples table  beneath an arch of flowers.  Not only were the two full of tradition, but they both incorporated their love of chemistry by having one of their professors marry them and adding the chemical elements to the place cards.

      Other details from the purples to the lace to the Women’s Club itself radiated the beauty of the couple!  More to come tomorrow!!
