When we met Stephanie and Joe, we could just tell how excited they were to get married : ) They are such a sweet couple that truly love each other.
So – on a chilly {but sunny} first Saturday of the new year we headed down to Owatonna, MN for Joe and Stephanie’s wedding. It was a brisk day, but a very quick drive! I {Karin} grew up in Winona, MN so it was a pleasant surprise to experience Owatonna not being a super long drive : )
We arrived and got started with pictures – they both have really fun families that were great to photograph. I think one of my favorites was their ring-bearer. We had all the guys together {including him} and first had them all smile {which he did SO nicely!} and then we had them do ‘serious’ faces – I think he {the ring-bearer} did the best one!! He had such a great expression – and he is only 4 years old!!
I would say the majority of our weddings the bride and groom recite the ‘traditional’ vows for their denomination {Dan and I did too – I would have fallen apart otherwise!} but Joe and Steph wrote their own – and how sweet they were! They have known each other for awhile now – so they were certainly excited and ready to be married!
We feel so blessed an honored to have been part of their wonderful day – every negative degree of it! {it was -17 that day!! Those brave folks still went on a buggie ride!!} Luckily our travel to and from Owatonna went well for their wedding – we hope they went well for everyone else that went too!
