What an absolutely awesome morning it was yesterday at The Tea Room for Ken, Kurt & Tawinee’s Leap Day Wedding.

It was a morning filled with love, smiles, laughter, and fun…and one that we’ll surely never, ever forget.
Congratulations to our 8 couples… Kayla & Andrew, Amanda & Jesse, Jazmin & Bethany, Stephanie & Josh, Jenna & Cliff, Emily & Paris, Heather & Andy, and Andrea & Patrick! We wish you lifetimes of happiness…and as Kurt says “You have to stay together, I don’t want my successful marriage rate to go down”

Thank you so much for sharing your special day with us…and be willing to get up super early to get married.
Thank you to The Tea Room….it was the perfect setting. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind in Des Moines, and it’s breathtaking as soon as you walk in. Thank you to Lori and her awesome staff for making us feel right at home and being such an integral part of the wedding!

Thank you to Destination Grille…to Jonnann and her fantastic team. The prime rib, ham balls, cheesy potatoes…everything was delicious! Your crew couldn’t have been warmer and more helping…and we greatly appreciate it! We overheard so many compliments on the food!

To Tom and everyone at Boesen the Florist…thank you thank you thank you! The brides’ bouquets…AND toss bouquets were jaw-dropping! They looked beautiful in person and in pictures!

Speaking of pictures…oh man, Sue and her Complete Weddings & Events crew CRUSHED it. Their team of 5 (maybe 6, sorry, it’s a blur lol), were EVERYWHERE, capturing EVERYTHING! Their attention to detail and and getting the shots they needed was impeccable.
