This destination wedding at The Depot Renaissance Hotel in Minneapolis was an elegant, romantic, and wonderfully fun event. Aaron and Kara met through mutual friends while going to college in Wisconsin, but it wasn’t until months later, and many invitations from Aaron, that the first date finally happened. The wait was worth it, and this couple of nearly a decade finally tied the knot in an epic summer celebration of love.
The couple, who reside in Florida, are the epitome of class and style, and their extraordinary ceremony truly reflected their personalities in every way. Kara was a vision of beauty and grace, her white wedding gown shining with silver beading and delicate lace. The bridesmaids were simply stunning, and the handsome men looked fantastic in their blue ensembles. The bride and groom’s English Bulldog Coco also joined in the nuptials and walked down the aisle bearing the wedding rings.
The newlyweds then enjoyed a few moments to themselves, and toasted their happiness on this special day before joining their friends and family for the amazing reception. Love was in the air, and there were many sweet and touching moments. The best man gave one of the greatest speeches I have ever heard, and as the champagne flowed I found myself swept away with the spirit of this extraordinary celebration.
The first dance was enchanting, and I loved watching the bride and groom float across the floor with mom and dad. Deuces Wild Dueling Pianos then set the room alight with their high-energy musical talent and over the top entertainment, and every guest moved along to the beat. Even Grandma had a blast and shared her lap with the saxophone player for a song. What an epic party and fantastic folks!
I am truly honored to have been a part of Aaron and Kara’s special day. Cheers to the happy couple! Here’s to many years of amazing memories to come.
