There’s just something about brides getting ready in their childhood homes that is so heartwarming. Emily’s getting ready process was no exception as she spent the morning getting dolled up in her parent’s bedroom. After a special first look with not only her dad, but also her brothers, the bride and groom shared precious letters with one another just before the ceremony. Anyone who overheard even a few sentences of their exchange would be likely to get choked up over how special it truly was. Their wedding Mass was one of such happiness, especially with dear priest friends concelebrating and was followed with tender portraits of the bride and groom spending some time alone with Jesus as well as honoring Saint Joseph. Perhaps one of the neatest parts of their whole day was recreating photos in the same classic getaway car that Emily’s parents were photographed in on their wedding day all those years ago! Park photos and Graeter's Ice Cream were part of the pre-reception festivities for the bridal party followed by a reception that concluded with a sweet bubble gun exit conducted by the bride’s twin brothers.
