Cedric and Kate met while attending school at the University of Northwestern St. Paul. Both were engineering students and their busy schedules made it hard to connect at first, but by the spring of 2012 they had started dating.

Two years later, in the spring of 2014, Cedric was ready to ask Kate to be his wife. After a chaotic evening of running unplanned errands and a late dinner out at Victoria’s Restaurant in Rochester, Cedric sat down at the piano. He played “All of Me” by John Legend and was rewarded with an enthusiastic “Yes!” when he closed his concert with a proposal.

Now the two have joined as one in a classy family reunion union. The Dellwood Country Club provided a beautiful shady garden backdrop for their special day. The memorable first look captured their happiness wonderfully as they strolled the grounds before the ceremony. Sunshine peeked through the willow trees at just the right moments and made them magical.

The ceremony was held at St. Joseph’s Church in St. Paul where the vaulted ceilings and stained glass lent elegance and grace to the nuptials. Surrounded by their closest family and friends the couple said “I do” and lit their candle of unity. Cedric then whisked his bride away to the country club for the reception.

Dinner and dancing awaited the newlyweds and their guests back at the country club. The beautiful bride and proud groom showed off on the dance floor and had to answer some tough questions during the shoe game. So who is the better kisser?

Some fun with fireworks added just the right amount of sparkle to Cedric and Kate’s gorgeous wedding celebration. Many happy wishes to this lovely couple!
