Jake & Dani:: Silverwood Wedding

They have known each other since 4th grade, yet at that point, neither had marriage on their mind.  It was more coodies and boy/ girl germs, yet throughout many connections through their church Dani and Jake’s paths continued to cross.  They both attended rival high schools, and in 11th grade the couple started dating.  They went to prom together and even ventured a year to college together.

Last fall Jake surprised Dani with a trip up to Taylors falls.  When she arrived, she knew it was not a tip like any other.  Jake had very carefully and secretly had friends line a path of flower petals and to a picnic area overlooking the St. Croix River.  He brought out his guitar and played Adam Sandler’s “Grow Old with You” from the Wedding Singer on her guitar.  Feeling both overjoyed and elated, Dani could hardly believe it was happening.  After the song, Jake got down on one knee and asked his 4th grade friend to be his wife.

It was a joy for me to be documenting this day because a few years ago, I was documenting Dani’s senior photos!!  How quickly the time has passed!!

Dani and Jake, it was awesome to be with you during your wedding day.  You are extremely beautiful people to be around and I know throughout the years the Lord will truly bless your marriage, thank you for allowing me to be with you! It was a joy!

And here is your slide-show!  Enjoy!!
