The Lynhall Wedding:: Dan and Jody

Within the first two weeks of meeting Dan, Jody’s own fairy tale was made.  Dan surprised Jody with a surprise trip to visit him in Philadelphia.  Each and every detail from the flight to the places they went to dinner was attended to.  It was there Jody fell in love with Dan.

Only 43 days later, the couple was engaged.  Both knew what they were looking for and they had found it.  Jody and Dan love adventures and both agree that life is too short to not surprise one another and not let life pass them by.

The couple were wed at the beautiful and intimate St. Stephan’s Episcopal Church in Edina.  Dan had been attending there and had made it his home church and both he and Jody loved the intimate setting that only close family was invited to.  Jody’s Tory Burch shoes were a perfect accent to her Tadashi Shoji wedding gown.Both Dan and Jody’s rings were hand crafted by different designers.  Jody’s engagement ring was hand crafted and is a one of a kind ring designed by Denise Roberge.  Dan’s is from David Yurman Scherezada.Donato’s Floral in Maple grove put together the bouquet of rose and white blooms for Jody and a white rose for Dan’s boutonniere.Jody did her own make up for the day while Simonson’s did a loose updo for her.Jody purchased her veil and head piece from Anthropologie and it was a perfect touch for their October wedding day.The grounds of St. Stephen’s are truly beautiful.  Yellow trees and a beautiful brook behind the church made for a great location for photos.Jody and Dan invited friends and other family embers to their reception at the Lynhall in Minneapolis. The Menu ranged from butternut squash soup to roasted chicken and spiced cous cous to other autumn based dishes.Their spiced apple cinnamon cake was beautiful and created just for them by bakers at the Lynhall.What a perfect day to spend with this amazing couple.
