I Do: Emily and Matt

Emily and Matt were married at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Baraboo on a gorgeous spring day. I learned from Father Bakke during the ceremony that they met in middle school — isn’t that adorable? — and in the priest’s words, were “crushing on each other” then.

The entire day just felt warm with family and people who loved and supported each other so deeply. I don’t know how else to describe it; it was just a wonderful day to get to be part of. So enjoy.

After the ceremony the group stopped at Monk’s in Lake Delton. Call me crazy, but I think bar shots can be fun. Everyone is relaxed because the ceremony is over and the party is about to start…

and when else can you get a shot like this?

The reception was at the Crystal Room at Buffalo Phil’s in Lake Delton. I really didn’t know what to expect, but it was very antique glam.

Emily and Matt won five dance lessons in a charity auction, and ended up extending them to five months. Long story short: They absolutely killed in their first dance, which included a reenactment of the famous scene from Dirty Dancing. I had “The Time of My Life” stuck in my head for three days, but it was so worth it.
