Abby + Nathan = Married!

On 6/24, we photographed Abby & Nathan’s fun wedding! 🙂 It was such an incredible day; from the 20 person choir that sang during the ceremony, to the “Love Actually” quotes during the maid of honor’s speech to the surprise dance with her dad, it was awesome!!

1. How did he propose?

Nathan took me to The Oceanaire for a wonderful meal, and then took us to Butler, where we met in our undergrad. They say that if you kiss someone under the Bell Tower at Butler, you will marry them. Nathan walked us all the way to the top and proposed at the Bell Tower. It was exactly what I had hoped for.

2. What was your favorite wedding moment?

I loved getting beautified in the morning – hair, makeup, jewelry and of course my lovely dress. BUT I think the best part was our first look. I loved that private moment together.

3. What was his favorite wedding moment?

I loved being surrounded by so many friends and family, and sharing so much love with Abby. I also liked our commissioned choir piece being performed by our friends and joined families.

4. What was the funniest wedding moment?

The funniest moment is when our 4 year old flower girl aggressively threw all of the flowers in her basket at once, leaving a huge clump on the floor and raining flowers on the guests. She then got to the end of the aisle and shouted “I don’t have any more.”

5. What was your first dance song?

6. Where did you go on your honeymoon?

Nathan planned the honeymoon on his own so it was a complete surprise to me. We went to a bed and breakfast in South Haven, MI, an adorable tourist town with local wineries, great shops, a beautiful beach and delicious restaurants. On our way home, we went over to Chicago and saw Hamilton the Musical!! It was so much fun!

7. What advice would you give to future brides?

The wedding goes by SO FAST. Try to talk to all of your guests as much as possible. I’m very thankful we did a receiving line so we spoke to everyone and thanked them for coming. Unfortunately, that’s all I was able to do for some guests! Also, I really loved doing the first look. It took a lot of anxiety away by being able to see and talk to Nathan for most of the day. Don’t worry – walking down the aisle and seeing your groom’s face is still incredibly special!
