I’m so excited to share this latest post from the day that Christen and Matt tied the knot! What a fun day we had! It’s not uncommon that I can hardly decide which photos to post on my blog or my Facebook album, but that was REALLY the case with this one! There were so many fun shots from throughout the day. We started out with an intimate ceremony at Madison’s “Gates of Heaven” synagogue where the couple recited their own, unique vows in front of friends and family and even carried out a wine box ceremony. This was where the couple nailed shut a wooden box with their favorite bottle of wine and letters to each other. The tradition is to open this box years down the road on their anniversary, or sometime in the course of their relationship if they hit a bumpy patch or need to be reminded of the love that they felt for each other on this very day – so sweet! From there we spent a beautiful afternoon taking photos of the wedding party at the state capital, and ended the evening with a night of dinner and dancing at the Memorial Union on the lake. It won’t be hard to see what a beautiful couple this is, and what a wonderful day they shared. Enjoy!
