winter wedding at the marriott omaha

It was a beautiful snowy day for Katie + Mike’s winter wedding at the Marriott Regency in Omaha last December. We are suckers for a winter wedding — all that snow is just perfect with a white dress — so we were thrilled when Katie + Mike asked us to coordinate and style their perfect day.

destination wedding at joslyn art museum

This is my sister. Pretty little darlin’ isn’t she?  She married her true love in August in Omaha at St. Barnabas Parish and the reception was held at Joslyn Art Museum.  I don’t want to wax on too much about it just because she is my sister, but let me tell you how interesting it was to be the day-of coordinator and maid-of-honor.  At most weddings when I am working, I tend to get to sit down and take a break for the first time all day during the wedding toasts.  Usually I shove some food down and chug a few waters but not this time, this time I was on deck to toast the heck out of the happy couple. (#nailedit)  Usually when the guests get dancing, I pack everything up and get it ready for the family.  This time Jacob’s cousin was teaching me “the pretzel” as I tore up that dance floor.  Usually, I only know the bride & groom and maybe their parents.  This time, I knew over half of the crowd, many of whom I hadn’t seen in years.  It was an exhausting weekend but totally worth it, though I do recommend choosing one or the other, except on the most special of occasions.

Wedding planner fail: I obviously was not specific enough about when the darling ring bearer Corbin was supposed to stop pulling the wagon.  He just tried to truck that thing (Liam and all) right up the steps and onto the alter.  Luckily Jacob and I both have quick reflexes.

As any statistician worth her salt will tell you, As any statistician worth her salt will tell you, approximately 50% of new businesses fail within the first five years. Only 25% make it past 15. Today we’re celebrating our S W E E T 1️⃣6️⃣: we’ve got the keys to the car (to take your stuff back to the hotel room) and the wind in our hair (truly, we cannot keep the candles lit in this wind) and we’re still going places (SEARCHING for your best man so we can do toasts) after all of these wedding weekends.

Thanks to all the humans and couple of pups who have made this business go on and on, too numerous to name and special thanks to the team at @ecbg_studio who rushed this cake that we ordered this morning, so we could stop and celebrate the moment. 🔑🍰🎉🥂
