This is my wedding- my story. On August 10, 2019, I married a man I love very much and it was a wonderful day filled with all the people I love most. Many of you know that my last ten years have been a journey I didn’t plan. But that’s life and we all have stories. The smiles in these pictures represent everything good about unexpected journeys, and being able to accept, adjust and move forward. And a special thank you to our daughter-in-law, Hannah Kraus, for capturing everything perfect about this day in photos. @hannahkrausphotography

I know I’m a florist and you would think flowers would be an important part of my day but….. I was just too lazy and honestly more interested in the food and wedding cake! I did make myself a bouquet of my favorite flower-Stock, in three colors. And I decorated our historic park bandstand with Smilax which was super fun to work with!

Two of my favorite quotes and ones that I think about often. ““What lies behind us, and what lies before us are but tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson. and “Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be.”- Robert Browning.

It was a really hot day in August and we had fun anyway! With all of our friends, amazing food, and yes, yard games including volleyball, we celebrated everything great about finding the person you love.
