Here Comes the Bride!!

This last weekend we went back to the Twin Cities for a wedding.

My friend Julie (aka Bunny!) married her fiance, Tony at a winery in Wisconsin. I met Julie my very first night in my MBA program. When I discovered she carried finger puppets in her purse I knew we had to be friends. Who knew that 7 years later I'd be living in TN and she'd be walking down the aisle towards one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet?

It was an awesome wedding. I think most women look beautiful in their wedding finery, but Bunny was absolutely one of the prettiest brides I've seen. Tony should make a habit of wearing a tux on a regular basis.

From what I gathered, they had originally planned for the ceremony to be held outside, but due to the threat of rain moved it under the tent. I have to say this was handled really well, because you never would have known that it wasn't the original plan.

One of my favorite things about a wedding is the flowers. I was not disappointed! They were beautiful. The table flowers were in those tall vases so they were elevated above the table, which makes conversation easier. The bridesmaid's all carried hydrangeas - one of my favorites.

During the cocktail hour we got to sample some of the winery's offerings - if you ever get a chance to try the St Croix Vineyards Cabernet - I'd highly recommend it.

So, congrats Bunny and Tony - and when are you coming to visit?
