And what was not to love
about this day? The bride and groom chose Sparrow in Stillwater as their venue with a rustic, architecturally modern
barn and 30 beautiful acres to roam in.
Katelin and her bridesmaids spent
the morning, tucked away in their own getting-ready suite, finishing up with
hairdresser, make-up artist, and assisting the bride into her gorgeous
gown. They were also trying to be a
calming influence, but as the time for the First Look arrived, everyone was
excited…and emotional. Especially the
newlyweds-to-be!
Katelin and Jonathan
exchanged sweet letters during the First Look, which brought joyful tears to
each of them, and then they were whisked off to create some magical couples’
portraits. Wedding party pictures
followed, as the bridesmaids gathered around Katelin, and the groomsmen’s
personalities emerged as they enacted the “Mario” jump!
At last the hour came for the
ceremony to begin. The bridesmaids,
dressed in pastel shades of pink and lavender, came down the staircase on the
hand of their respective groomsman, while Jonathan waited patiently at the
altar for his bride. Added to the
wedding party were the couple’s two Golden Retrievers—the “flower girl and ring
bearer.” The bride was stunning in her
lace-embroidered, elegant wedding gown, carrying a lush floral bouquet
consisting of white roses, white ranunculus, and lush greenery.
After the couple exchanged
vows, guests were invited to participate in a buffet dinner while they enjoyed
the festivities of the evening…the first dance, dances with the respective
parents, toasts to the bride and groom, and dancing. The culmination of the evening took place when
Jonathan, in light-hearted fun, smashed some of the wedding cake on Katelin’s
face, only to be sprayed with champagne when the bottle popped off as he was
opening it! True to her humorous good
nature, Katelin took it all in stride!
This is one of those weddings
we will remember, reminding us that soul mates do find one another in the most
wonderful of unexpected ways…and we wish this delightful couple a lifetime of
happiness together!
