Congrats to Emily and Adam, engaged and all set for a November wedding! We made stops at Rock Bridge State Park (where Adam proposed!) and downtown in front of Columbia’s very own Yellow Dog Bookshop, ’cause Emily loves books. Adam was a groomsman in one of SilverBox’s earliest weddings (when his sister, Megan, married Ben!!!), and he’s brought Emily to Missouri. Welcome to Columbia, Emily, we are SO LUCKY and SO HAPPY to have you here!

10 Reasons Why We LOVED Bree and Craig’s Wedding
1. Craig’s letter to Bree that had Bree and her friends laughing and crying simultaneously.
2. Venues that were all within walking distance (so much fun, ’cause walking meant more time hanging out with friends and less time driving around in vehicles!).
3. Lots of hugging. The outdoor receiving line made for great (and well-lit) moments (which lead to fun pictures) of Bree and Craig getting hugs from all their guests.
4. Differently colored bridesmaids’ dresses . . . so lovely!
5. The special arrangement of rectangular AND round tables at the reception looked fantastic and helped guests mingle more (high fives, Annabelle Events, for this very cool design!)
6. Live disco! WOW! Just WOW!
7. A donut bar! (“blank” donuts with choose-your-own topping AND two utterly unique donuts named “the craig” and “the bree,” specially created by Harold’s Donuts for this night). Unbelievably YUMMY!
8. A father-daughter dance (or one big bear hug set to music) that had entire tables of guests moved to tears.
9. A SilverBox photo booth with props supplied by Craig and Bree that was its own party within a party!
10. And best of all: Bree and Craig! It was a treat just watching these two together . . . so much laughing! I think that’s may just be the secret ingredient to a pretty great marriage. Congrats, Bree and Craig!

After having kids of my own, I had an “oh, now I get it moment” when I realized that weddings may just be even more emotional for parents of the couple then for the bride and groom themselves. This thought never crossed my mind when I was a bride. But once I became a mother . . . yep . . . I’m pretty sure it’s true. One of the things I admire about Sara and Tyler is that they seemed to know this already. They made sure that their wedding day was a celebration that honored all their loved ones . . . their parents, their grandparents, their friends. Sara and Tyler surprised two sets of grandparents with cakes in celebration of their anniversaries (60th and 64th?!) before cutting the wedding cake. Sara made quilts for each of her bridesmaids and presented these at the rehearsal dinner. And the toasts by family and friends (and Tyler himself) were among the most heartfelt, moving and funny that I’ve ever heard. Congratulations to Sara and Tyler and their families for a beautiful, fun and joyous start to Sara & Tyler’s marriage!
