Chris and Laura call Chicago home. But to celebrate their wedding, they wanted to invite friends and family to a place they go to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and where Laura's family has a vacation home, beautiful Door County.
Laura, wearing a magnificent blush colored ballgown style dress was the very definition of grace. She is so gracious, kind, poised, absolutely lovely inside and out. Chris couldn't be a more genuinely caring and warm person. It was actually brought up in one of the speeches that when Laura met Chris she described him as the male version of herself - so perfect! They are such a compliment to each other, Laura glows when she's around Chris and Chris is so gentle and respectful of her, it is adorable!
It was a rainy day, which squelched some photo stops we wanted to make, but this didn't damper anyone's spirits! The celebration started with a personal and joyful mass at Stella Maris in Bailey's harbor. Then the groomsmen gallantly stepped out of the trolley for some fun group shots, Laura's wonderfully attentive matron of honor stood by to help keep a towel under Laura's train, offering amazing encouragement over the shots I got of the new couple. Thankfully the gorgeous Horseshoe Bay Golf Clubhouse features a very elegant carport so we were able to be outside without anyone getting wet! And did I mention Chris hails from the south and members of the bridal party and various guests marveled at the idea of cheese curds? They were particularly entertained when I whipped out a Yooper accent and regaled them with talk of a cheese curd casserole - whatever it takes for genuine laughs from the bridal party!
The day was elegant, meaningful and perfectly orchestrated thanks to Door County Events Planners, they are the absolute best!
I'm so glad Chris and Laura chose to have friends and family come from near and far to celebrate in this tiny little paradise we enjoy in Door County!
