Lauren & Brennan’s wedding was a wonderfully emotional day and night filled with joyous parents, happy tears and sentimental touches that spoke volumes about their love of family. Multiple times throughout the day both of them has to make use of handkerchiefs and pauses to breathe because everything was just so much better than they could have imagined. Something we loved about their day was that they shared private vows before visiting the lake to take in blue skies and generous sunshine. They followed that with a sweet ceremony at St James 1868 and an outdoor cocktail hour where guests wrapped themselves in cozy blankets and enjoyed what very possibly was the last outdoor evening of fall. After that it was back to emotional shared moments as they joined the family tradition of drinking from their own “Loving Cup” and danced the night away with parents and friends in full dance mode. It was a party and promise to build a life worth living, a celebration and a dream come true.

Molly & Michael celebrated their wedding day in the only way they could have ever imagined: with open hearts, surrounded by family and friends, in the church, representing their country, and with a little help from their fave college mascot, Bucky. Michael wore his US Navy formal dress blues and several of his groomsmen wore their service dress uniforms and really, a uniform is the only thing that looks even better than tux on a classic wedding day. Molly showed up in style, too, wearing a gorgeous dress but also special family heirloom jewelry. There was so much to love and enjoy about Molly & Michael’s wedding day, but I can’t resist listing just a few of our favorite things: the way Michael looked at Molly when she walked down the aisle. The way Michael’s best man joined in the toasts even though he’s deployed. The way there were tears and laughter in equal measure all because two people found their soul’s delight in one another. It was a glorious day and not a single person present would change anything about it, including Bucky who couldn’t have asked for a better Badger crowd as he hit his headstand perfectly!
