Sarah & Ryan:: Golden Valley Country Club Wedding

Knowing the two might have a chance together, Ryan’s college roommate who was married to Sarah’s best friend, set the two up on a blind date.  The two ended up at Lucia’s wine bar in Uptown and ended up talking until the restaurant closed.  Feeling a connection immediately both of them knew there was more than just one date was on the horizon.

Last Christmas Eve the two had planned to spend it with family, but before heading out the door Ryan made the sly suggestion of exchanging at least one gift with one another. He handed Sarah a small box and while she was in the middle of opening it, took the ring, which was hidden in his coat pocket, out and got down on one knee.  Sarah was stunned, but immediately answered yes immediately!

Their December wedding day was much warmer than expected and full of warmth from family and friends.  The two chose to spend their reception at the beautiful Golden Valley Country Club which was decorated for the season with twinkle lights and beautiful pine trees.  It was a joy to spend the day with these two, congratulations!!
