Marcus and Melinda were married today!

The couple chose a winter wonderland theme for their wedding, and every bit of the day sparkled.  Nature even cooperated with a blanket of fresh snow delivered the day before.  Everything was a vision of white!  Sadie’s Couture Floral did a wonderful job with the all white bouquets and added darling little touches like pine cones to reflect the season.

The ceremony and reception took place at Manitou Station in White Bear Lake.  The wedding party gathered in the bar downstairs for some hang out time and to get some liquid courage to go outside for pictures.

Marcus and Mindi are hearty folk, they love the winter and wanted to have pictures out in the elements.  We happily complied, especially since down town White Bear Lake is so cute.

Time to play in the snow!

Guests arrived as the sun set for the ceremony.  The space was full of a warm glow as the couple exchanged their vows to a lot of laughter.

There were even a few happy tears.

The reception was set up so beautifully!  And the couple chose a variety of comfort food appetizers for their guests to enjoy, from Scotch eggs to chicken wings.

After dinner, the couple had their first dance and then Complete Music cranked it up and got the place bouncing!  There was even a Michael Jackson dance off….it was seriously a blast to see all these friends have such a great time.

Marcus and Mindi, thank you so much for having us be a part of your day!  Enjoy your sneak peek!
