Nothing beats breakfast in bed, especially when it comes with an engagement ring. This sweet and intimate gesture was how Dylan asked Maddy to marry him. Placing the ring on the breakfast tray, Dylan knelt beside the bed to surprise Maddy. The rest is history…
When the big day arrived, Maddy ecstatically waited for the moment she was able to meet Dylan before the ceremony.
“For me, all day I just felt like it was a long day, in a good way!” Maddy said. “But I was counting down the minutes and the seconds until I could just see Dylan.”
The “wow” moment for Maddy and Dylan set in as she walked down the aisle in her gorgeous, form-fitting dress. Time stood still as the couple embraced the beginning of forever together.
The ceremony at Bethlehem Lutheran Church was embellished with beautiful floral arrangements, white decor, and greenery to soften the setting and highlight the celebration of Maddy and Dylan’s marriage.
A heartfelt gesture to remember lost loved ones was expressed by reserving two chairs at the ceremony adorned with pictures of Maddy’s grandma and grandpa.
As a way to convey their appreciation for the community of love and support from family and friends, the couple decided to put a twist on the traditional guestbook. Instead, they used squares of fabric for the guests to write little messages. Eventually, these pieces will be sewn into a quilt by Maddy’s mother.
The reception was nothing short of an enchanted garden as candles shimmered on the tables, gold accents with green florals went on display, and a giant custom-made floral wreath hung above the dance floor.
The night was filled with laughter and dancing in the captivating ambiance of the candlelight and decor as family and friends celebrated the lifelong commitment of Maddy and Dylan and their never-ending love for each other. // —Josie Clemens
