Ballroom Wedding & Ceremony at the Henry Clay

What an awesome day. Sara & Paul are some of the sweetest, most-fun people you’ll meet. Their day was filled with the best moments.

Some sweet moments were:

Sara wrote letters to all of her bridesmaids. Both Paul and Sara gifted their parents letters & gifts. One of Sara’s longtime besties did her hair & makeup. Paul cried a lot during their first look (I did some too). Sara’s sister and matron of honor, Katie, took such good care of her — even miraculously removed some cigarette-ash that blew on her dress during photos. (People, throw your trash away!) Sara’s dress AND her bridesmaids’s dresses had pockets. Sara’s mom got her original wedding band refitted so Sara could wear it. Their grandparents and parents were the sweetest people. They decorated their centerpieces with photos from their childhood, matched up their ages with the table numbers. The Henry Clay ballroom looked beautiful with their decorations & all the personal touches! Sara and her dad bawled as they walked down the aisle. Paul’s dad sang and played “Forever Young” during the ceremony (I cried again). There was a lot of hugging & embracing & crying after the ceremony, too (yeah I cried again). We got to sneak Sara & Paul outside for some photos just as the sun was setting. They danced away to “In Spite of Ourselves” by John Prine and there were lots of laughs. “Cover Me Badd” set the dance floor moving with their classic covers. It really was the best day.

Paul and Sara, we’re so happy for you both!!
