Christie & Dan’s fall wedding landed on a brilliantly gorgeous Milwaukee day – the kind of day midwesterners dream about. It was crisp and sunny; the sun played tricks on the city streetscapes reflecting light in all the perfect ways. The Milwaukee Art Museum showed off as everyone knew it would, the wings proudly open and presiding over the ceremony, cocktails and dancing in celebration of Christie & Dan. And every detail they had imagined came to life in all the right ways: the flowers were simple but inspired, the styling was elegant but unique, friends and family were not only present, but also giddy with affection and happiness for the bride & groom. All day all I could think was that they had truly followed their hearts in every way – in designing their perfect day, yes, but mostly in finding their way back to this city, this day, this future together. They’ve known each other since high school and somehow managed to grow apart and together, explore the world and different careers but always and forever, each path leads back to one another.
