Zach and Maria:: Winter wonderland wedding

When Maria took a job lifeguarding at the YMCA she never dreamed she would meet the man she would marry. Dark hair, blue eyes and being a lifeguard, Maria noticed Zach right away. As they began talking, they realized they had a lot in common; their love for the Lord, dogs, the water, family, and swing dancing.

After a few years of dating, Zach knew he was ready to propose. He drove to Bismarck where Mario was in school and surprised her one Friday night in the chapel where he got down on one knee and asked Maria to be his wife.  She was completely stunned and surprised and said yes right away!

Their February wedding day was a winter bliss! It was beautiful, crisp and the sun was shining. I honestly could not get enough of Maria’s Allure romance BLUSH dress. It was so fitting for the season while her wintery wedding greens by Divine Blooms stood out adding a beautiful array of texture and elegance. The bridesmaids navy Azlnzinns Papell dresses from Macy’s paired well with the rose colored wraps they used to keep warm in. The men stayed warm in their tweed vests with blue shirts. Maria glowed throughout the day and as she interacted with guests with makeup and hair done by JB Carour in New Brighton.  Her solitaire rose gold band and diamond by Kay Jewelers sparkled and shined throughout the day. Chef Jeff provided tasty and exquisite food for all the guests while a the wedding party seat at a rustic barn wood table from Apres.  A family friend baked rich bark themed rustic wedding cake for the couple and guests to share. Instant Request brought the house down as friends and family wrapped up the night with dancing and celebration while Lisa Murphy made sure that the entire wedding day went off without a hitch, which it did!

Zack and Maria it was an honor to be able to share your day with you and I hope our paths cross again in the near future and have a wonderful time in the Bahamas!! Congratulations again!
