Lindsay + Bobby wedding {by liz + raquita}

As we are all over here running around like chickens with our heads cut off, I’m sitting down for a sec, eating a few fabulous goodies from some of our wonderful vendor friends, and reliving this pretty epic wedding day filled with crazy Canadians! JK of course. I mean crazy in a good way. ;) Big thank you on this one to my oh so talented guest photog Raquita Henderson from Pinxit Photo! It was a busy day and Kate and Meredith were off photographing another happy couple. Random, we actually all accidentally met up in Tower Grove Park for a few minutes. Quick little “go team!” moment and we were all on our way!

The ceremony took place on the terrace at the Caramel Room overlooking the new Stan Musial Bridge and the Mississippi River. Lindsay mentioned to me beforehand that her sister was getting married a month or so prior in the mountains of Canada and we had a pretty amusing chat about whether or not I could make the Mississippi River and downtown St. Louis skyline look as pretty as the lush mountainsides in Canada. Well, we are not magical unicorns, but I personally think Lindsay and Bobby’s day was absolutely gorgeous in it’s own way, and the amazing Simcha Lourie made sure no details were missed! Take a look and see if you agree…

Ahhh…I remember this moment. These gorgeous ladies were wearing lovely gowns by Joanna August. They are wrap dresses which means that technically the skirt isn’t really connected until the waist. And it was quite windy! You get the drift. ;)

Dad had this public speaking thing in the bag…I believe for a large portion of the speech he was referring to Lindsay’s love of her life…and we later found out his name is Stanley and he is a cute little fur ball. ;)

That said, Lindsay’s sister Ashley totally killed it with a custom song from their childhood.

And last but not least, Bobby’s brother. Seriously awesome speeches from everyone in this group! From what I could tell both families are all hockey through and through…and there may have been a story about Bobby missing a shot back in high school with the goalie pulled. And a special wish hoping he gets it right the next time they pull the goalie. Hee!
