Congratulations Gretchen and Adam

Gretchen and Adam are such a fun couple and I couldn't wait for their wedding day. Saturday the weather couldn't be more perfect. We started with the girls getting ready at the church. Nicole Barth, a Mary Kay consultant, did a wonderful job with their makeup. After Gretchen put on her beautiful dress we headed over to Boone County Arboretum at Central Park where she saw Adam for the first time. After a few photos of the couple and some caterpillars trying to get in on the fun- Adam pulled out a surprise. He bought Gretchen a stunning bracelet. How sneaky is he to pull that off, I loved seeing his beautiful surprise to Gretchen. During the ceremony Ben was allowed to be in the back area of the church (hidden behind a doorway). I love how you can see the couple's faces up close and how happy they are.
When we arrived at their reception we saw their awesome engagement signing book and their beautiful green cake. Gretchen made the fun cake topper with stars on sticks that she found at Pier 1 and then she added the matching beads. And the groom's cake was a fun treasure chest. Their family and friends were a blast and were so helpful. And boy can they all dance! Congratulations Gretchen and Adam - have a wonderful honeymoon and thanks for being so much fun!

For some reason the catepillars just loved us all. One fell from the tree above me when I was taking a photo and we had to keep removing some of them for photos.

Surprise! What a thoughtful gift from Adam.

Pastor Shawn Edwards did a wonderful job with the wedding ceremony at Hebron Baptist Church.

The green cake was created by Karen from The Briarwood. She always does a wonderful job with their cakes and they are tasty too!
