Amber & Nick get married at Peace Lutheran Church in New London!
Burning of the day at a balmy 90 degrees in Minnesota Amber got ready at her childhood home with her mama and sister.
Tippy the cat was brave enough to join us and for some odd reason kept going after the bottom of her dress so Amber's mom was standing guard. After putting on her dress we headed to the first look just a couple miles from the church. Nick got to see his bride for the first time. The first look was all smiles and hugs. We then headed to the church for portraits with the wedding party outside in the shade of one of the church's trees.
One of Amber's favorite parts of the day was the ceremony. They had their pastor start their day with the traditional vows from one of the great classics. "MAWAGE! MAWAGE IS WAT BWINGS US TOWGETHER TOWDAY". Amber and Nick absolutely loved it as they cracked up through the whole intro to their ceremony. After the Princess Bride quotes were over, the Officiant wanted the audience to know that was specially requested by the bride and groom.
It is a beautiful thing when God brings two people together in marriage. It was a privilege to witness these two say "yesh" and become husband and wife!
After the ceremony everyone headed over to Oneils for the reception! A cute space, Amber and Nick decorated with greenery and tiered candles. They served their guests O'Neals' pizza (which was delicious).
During Toasts, both the Best Man & Maid of Honor expressed how their friend had found the perfect partner. It ended with Amber saying a heartfelt thank you and laying a big kiss on her new husband. He didn't seem to mind. (Nick would later say this was one of his favorite moments of the day).
Their first dance felt so intimate as they swayed together surrounded by their friends and family.
We ended the night with some intimate portraits at Pirrotta Park right behind the venue.
Please enjoy Amber & Nick's wedding day.
