To be or not to be, that was the question that started Maddie and Billy’s journey together.
As high school seniors in their AP Literature class, they connected through the reading of Hamlet. Since then they have gone through many adventures. Weather it be through a bike ride in downtown Wayzata or a exploring Paris on a special spring break, they are always on the move.
After one of their typical bike ride adventures though downtown Wayzata, Billy led Maddie on a scavenger hunt through the places they fell in love. Maddie started at her home with a clue from her mother telling her to get dressed up and then headed to the Wayzata high school parking lot where she met some of his high school soccer teammates. From there, she got the clue to move on to Billy’s home, and from there was led to Caribou where one of her good friends was waiting with the next clue. She was directed to Wayzata beach where Billy was waiting on one knee where all the friends and family that participated in the scavenger were waiting to watch her reaction.
Billy and Maddie were wed at The Woods Chapel in Minnetonka with friends and family watching. Their beautiful August wedding day was full of sun and joy as they celebrated with friends and family from all over the US. Maddie’s beautiful wedding dress purchased from Posh Bridal paired perfectly with white roses and eucalyptus that Bachmans created for the day.
The sparkling diamond from Helzberg Diamonds that Billy gave Maddie was stunning and Sue Hodapp created a beautiful and elegant stationary suite.
Maddie looked flawless with an elegant up-do that Anna Root, her former dance teacher, did for her.
The Vince Camuto periwinkle bridesmaid dresses from Macy’s popped when up put up against the gray Engara suits that the groomsmen wore from Men’s Warehouse.
The romantic and classic atmosphere of Wayzata Country Club was a perfect backdrop for dinner and dessert. Andy from Instant Request kept the party rocking as guests danced the night away while Jeffery from Sunset Blue Productions captured it all on film.
The haze from the Canadian wildfires created the most beautiful light for the evening and even thought dew points were in the 90’s, Maddie and Billy braved the elements to get some of the most beautiful photos.
Billy and Maddie, what an honor it was to share your day with you, thank you for including me in it and I wish you all the best as you move forward in marriage.
