University Club of St. Paul Wedding:: Marcos and Elizabeth

As children Marcos and Elizabeth met. Both Elizabeth’s parents and Marcos’ parents were good friends, but when Marcos’ family moved to Duluth, the two families lost touch and went their separate ways.

As fate would have it, Marcos moved back to the Cities and began working at Colossal Cafe off Grand Ave in Saint Paul which Elizabeth now owned. The two reconnected and remembered their time as children, reminiscing about the past, and looking toward the future. Elizabeth and Marcos became fast friends since they spent so much time together and eventually began dating.

After spending a full day with Elizabeth’s family on Saint Patrick’s day this year, Marcos asked Elizabeth to go for a walk up to her favorite Bridge in Saint Paul, the High Bridge. He knew that she regularly ran there and loved looking across the city and the river so it was the perfect location for him to propose. Upon arriving at the top of the bridge, Marcos asked Elizabeth to be his wife.

Their September wedding day was beautiful. The two wanted only close friends and family to join their intimate ceremony so they could spend quality time with everyone. Elizabeth’s long sleeve Jenny Yoo gown was classic and elegant and perfect for the wedding day. Her bouquet from La Petite Fleur held hues of pinks, greens and whites and was stunning against her dress and her pink shoes added the perfect pop of color. April of Evergreen Weddings planned each and every detail perfectly and had the reception room looking amazing. The two had so many perfect details to the day including geo name places that were hand scripted with each guest’s name.

Elizabeth’s entrance had almost everyone in tears; even Marcos much to the surprise of Elizabeth. Friends and family gathered from miles around to celebrate with this lovely couple. Because both Elizabeth and Marcos work in the food industry, the meal of short ribs and polenta was incredible as was the cake from Buttercream bakery and the coffee bar which included sweet liquors for guests to enjoy.

Marcos and Elizabeth, it was a joy working with the both of you. I love the way you love each other and those around you. I do hope our paths cross in the future and that Paris is treating you so well!!
