Rachel + Andrew's Cincinnati Wedding

From the Bride: Andrew and I met in Louisville, KY where we instantly connected over our interest in tacos, family, and golf. A little after five years of being together, we were able to celebrate our love for one another with our closest family and friends. Our wedding day was pure bliss and we are forever grateful for the wonderful people that helped make it happen. The littlest details of a soft color palette, gold candelabras, classic pearl jewelry, handwritten vows, and live musicians all set the tone for two people joining their lives together. There was one little thing that made our day to remember, I completely lost my voice! This did not take away from the joy of the our wedding day, even though I had to whisper "I do". We now like to say that our wedding left us totally speechless!

Following the ceremony and cocktail hour, we had the reception of our dreams with gorgeous long and circle tables filled with flowers, candles, & old pictures of Andrew and I for guest to enjoy. For dinner, we offered food stations with our favorite foods being Mexican, Asian, & American style cuisines. We still have guests that talk about our amazing food. A unique experience we allowed guests to appreciate was having a live painter who gifted us with a stunning painting from our favorite day. We danced the night away starting with our first dance to "At Last" by Etta James. We enjoyed a late night snack of authentic Cincinnati cheese coneys! It is truly amazing to have all of your loved ones gathered together in one place!

Bride’s Advice: Enjoy the special moments of your relationship while planning your wedding and during your engagement. Even though things may not go as planned on the wedding day, they make a great story and memory for and your spouse to remember forever!
