Aenchbacher and Ramsey Wedding

Well this weekend, we were able to navigate our way back to Kansas City for the wedding of Jarrod and Patty on the 29th. We left on Friday and returned Sunday after a whirlwind of activity. We were able to attend the rehearsal at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in KC, Missouri on Friday. It was absolutely gorgeous. We left slightly early to catch some of the table decorations at the rehearsal dinner location, M&S Grill on the Plaza. Then it was off to check in at the hotel and get a good nights sleep for the wedding on Saturday. I started by following Patty to The Salon on the Plaza getting her hair and make up done while Barry took time to go shopping next door. :)

Patty was very kind in letting me hop a ride back to the hotel with her to get her dress on and finish getting ready. Her dress was really unique and stunning. There was no bead work, but layers of champagne colored material wrapping around her bodice with narrow sleeves that slipped slightly off the shoulders. Ladies, I would love to tell you who designed it, but for the life of me, I don't recall! The bridesmaids dresses were the most beautiful emerald green I have ever seen and they all looked awesome.

After Patty was dressed, I was able to ride with the ladies to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art for her to see her groom for the first time. I was stopped briefly by security and was able to catch up to the bride and groom before their big reveal with their photographers, Neal and Eric from Lemon-Lime Photography out of Kansas City, who were great to work with all day!

After photos at the Museum, it was time to head off to the Cathedral and prepare for the evening wedding. It was not a full Mass, but a great personal ceremony. Patty's bridesmaid Erin sang a great rendition of "When you say you love me" before the bride and groom left the church as husband and wife. They were wished well by all their guests outside the church and climbed into the limo to head to Berg Studio for the reception and party.

The couple had a great time with their guests and dancing all evening. The party wrapped up at midnight and we were happy to have had a hotel room instead of driving home that night! It was a really great day!

Check back in the coming weeks to see Jarrod and Patty's wedding day prequel!!
