Hazeltine Wedding:: Sara and Dave

Their mutual respect for work ethic and caring for those around them drew them together, but their love of family, new jobs, health issues, family events and doing life together has kept Sara and Dave together. He keeps her laughing and she keeps him grounded.

After being together for a few years, Sara and Dave decided to do dinner with both sides of their family.  As dinner was being served, Sara looked over to Dave to find that his plate was still full and he wasn’t eating.  Thinking this odd, Sara continued to watch him until he stood up and called for everyone’s attention. Then and there Dave stood up in front of the 20+ people that were there and talked about the importance of family, staying together, and supporting one another.  Everyone saw what was coming and the tears began to flow. Dave reached for Sara’s hand and asked her to stand with everyone. He got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife.

Their late October wedding could have not been more perfect.  One of the last nice days of the fall; 60 degrees, red leaves on the trees and wonderful family and friends celebrated with them.  We utilized the beautiful property of Hazeltine National Golf course in Chaska, MN for a beautiful fall backdrop.Sara wore a gorgeous satin dress from Bridal Aisle while the bridesmaids wore burgundy lace dresses from David’s Bridal with gold shawls to stay warm. Dave and his groomsmen wore navy suits with burgundy ties from Savvi FormalWear.Jenni From Simply State Elegance created the most beautiful fall bouquets to compliment the dresses and brought in a gold ribbon to tie it all together.I also loved the idea that Sara and all her friends have a rotating veil that many of them have used in their weddings, and now it was Sara’s turn!Robbie Weides, Dave’s cousin, created a custom stationary package for Sara and Dave that represented the day beautifully.The audience was in tears as Sara’s father walked her down the aisle, and her mother, who has been diagnosed with a rapid case of Parkinson’s Disease, beamed as she recognized her daughter coming down to which Sara gave a big hug before standing to meet Dave.Because the couple loves doughnuts, they put together a spread of doughnuts and sweets out from HyVee Bakery for guests to enjoy.

Friends and family danced the night away while Eric of Instant Request brought in the music and Allie Rae Productions captured the entire day on video.How blessed I was to spend the day with this KIND, COMPASSIONATE and LOVING couple.  Words cannot express how welcomed I was by family and friends the entire day. I wish you both many, many blessings as you move into married life together!
