The happy nerves.
The quiet before the celebration: the dress, the finishing touches, and the moment it all became wonderfully real.
2:00 PM · beneath the trees
Uncle Ed made it official.
The same uncle who finally talked Cris into proposing stood between them as they promised the rest of their lives to each other.
“A thousand weeks later, here we are.”囍
The smallest member of the wedding party
Lambeau understood the assignment.
Tuxedo on. Underbite perfect. The most important little ring bearer in Wisconsin was ready for his close-up.

The whole day, moving again.
The finished wedding film—from the first preparations to the last dance, preserved exactly as the day felt.

5:00 PM onward · South Second
Then we celebrated.
Cocktails, cake before dinner, a room full of laughter, a speech worth saving, caricatures, and a dance floor open until midnight.
Cole’s best-man speech.
Brother, best man, and the one who brought the room down. The hit speech now has the replay button it earned.
worth another round of applause ♡

The lights came up at midnight. The story, very happily, kept going.
