An Unexpected Beginning

The day before Kelly and her groom tied the knot, a historic “thunderSNOW” storm blanketed the Saint John’s grounds. Guests who braved the elements received a beautiful picturesque snowy landscape, glistening under the morning sun- talk about an unforgettable wedding backdrop. Despite the weather challenges, love and excitement prevailed, creating unforgettable memories!

The Morning of the Big Day

“I started out the morning emotional. I was truly in disbelief that I was really getting married – the day I had dreamed of and planned for my lifetime.”

– Kelly

The morning of her wedding was an emotional whirlwind for Kelly. The reality of marrying the love of her life had finally set in, and she was overwhelmed with love and anticipation. With a small and close-knit bridal party, the morning was filled with calm and love as her mother and bridesmaids helped her into her dream dress, a moment she’ll cherish forever.

When Kelly laid eyes on her groom, she couldn’t wait to express her love for him. It was the beginning of their forever, and he looked incredibly handsome. Her husband-to-be “wasn’t surprised to see she had chosen a dress with LOTS of sparkle,” a perfect reflection of Kelly’s radiant personality.
