Katherine and Matt’s wedding was really quite unique and not just because it was the ever elusive Thursday wedding. They had a very small and intimate wedding at the Theo Wirth Fireplace Room in beautiful Theodore Wirth park, Minneapolis.
The guest list was almost exclusively family so there were just over twenty people in attendance. The bride made dozens and dozens of paper flowers and decorative wax bowls for the ceremony along with a large wooden tea lite tree for above the mantle. The decorations were just amazing! (Only one caught fire right before they were about to walk down the isle. A fast thinking guest tossed it into the fireplace though and no one was the wiser until after the ceremony!)
They each wrote their own vows. Katherine’s were very sweet and thoughtful. Matt’s were probably the most entertaining vows I’ve ever heard. He referenced barbeque ribs (several times), zombie apocalypse survival, time travel and a myriad of other things. It was really hard to not giggle!
Their reception was held at Ambiente Gallerie in the gallery space. There was a really great photography display on that I quite enjoyed. The table decorations were beautiful. Like almost everything else, they were made by the bride! She painted a bunch of thrift store vases and filled them with flowers for the table.
It turns out, all that talk about barbaque was in part because Matt had made his signature dry rub and sauces as wedding favors! There were a few different kinds and it looked amazing.
They also had a sushi chef from Fuji Ya making fresh sushi rolls. It was amazing! They even had a custom roll created for them for the event.
Everyone was really sweet and so much fun to work with. I could not have been happier to be a part of this wedding. Congratulations team Matt and Kat!
On a personal note, this was also my last wedding with my favorite assistant. He is now in Korea teaching English. I will have to struggle on without him! Thanks for all your great work! And for driving the golf cart while I closed my eyes….
