Joe & Emily Get Married!

Man, happy summer! Today had the complete package for a Minnesota summer day. Sun, heat, a light breeze, just a touch of humidity and small debris from last night's storm. ;) Today was also complete as Emily and Joe tied the knot! With twinkle lights and candles as their backdrop at Calvary Church in Roseville, the happy couple made it official with a sweet and charming ceremony. At one point they were literally surrounded by their nearest and dearest for a group prayer on the stage of the church, and quite possibly one of the sweetest moments I've ever seen. (It's not technically crying if the tears don't fall, right?)

The ladies of course were stunning today in their bold purple dresses from David's Bridal. And I gotta' say, the men were just as stunning in their dark gray suits from Savvi with pops of purple. Lexington Floral killed it with Emily's gorgeous array of purple flowers and the bridesmaids' all white bouquets. Nothing could beat, however, the glow that came from Emily and Joe as they smiled and laughed together throughout their beautiful wedding day. 

I'm feeling pretty lucky with all of the amazing venues I've experienced lately; International Market Square is a prime example. Wide open space with sky-high views for everyone to enjoy. D'amico Catering provided a beautiful buffet with colorful and flavorful foods. (The angel hair pasta cakes... yum!) Bellagala's DJ kept the music fresh and enjoyable throughout the evening, including a little acoustic guitar during dinner! That was a first! =) Guests filled the dance floor and at one point most of the bridesmaids, the bride and a few guests took part in a choreographed dance! The dance that was made-up on a past group trip; and it definitely made me wish I had been on that trip... 

Emily and Joe, enjoy this sneak peek!
