I received a very excited email a couple of months ago from Mamie. “I’m getting married!” . . . “and I’d love it if you would be our photographer.” I think I was almost as excited as she was. I have known Mamie for several years and happen to think she is terrific. It was my pleasure to get to be a part of her day. Since Mamie lives out east (in the Washington D.C. area) we communicated over phone lines and emails in the months leading up to the wedding. Last Saturday the big day finally arrived and it was a real treat.
When you plan a wedding in January in Minnesota you envision blizzards, ice, and difficult travel conditions. That, however, is not anywhere near what we got last weekend. The ceremony was held at St. Columban’s Catholic Church in Preston, MN and the day was gorgeous without so much as a snowflake. Temperatures were in the 40′s! Amazing. As Father Tom said in their service, “This marriage must truly be meant to be.” I couldn’t agree more.
The wedding reception was held at Wheelers in Harmony, MN. The Bride took special care with the reception details.
Beautiful winter trees and a romantic table for two set just for the Bride & Groom made the dinner feel like a romantic outdoor dinner.
Chris and Mamie enjoyed their first dance as man and wife followed by a special dance for the groom and his mom.
The flowergirl and ringbearer really new how to bust a move! These kids can dance.
Congratulations Mamie & Chris! Best wishes for a wonderful life together.
