- Color Me Badd
I had to use this Color Me Badd song, simply because the DJ's from Sound By Design played it at Katie and Tim's wedding last night. I hadn't heard it for probably a good 15 years...and now it's stuck in my head.+
Yesterday was a study in pop-culture references for Katie and Tim's Milwaukee wedding. The day kicked off with a beautiful full-Mass ceremony at the Church of the Gesu , which is one of my favorite Catholic churches in Milwaukee. Its just gorgeous.
We followed up the ceremony with a quick trip to the Art Museum, where the wind was kickin'....big time. We did get in one "must-take" shot, requested by the groomsmen, of a football play. This photographer knows so much about football than when I asked one of the guys to come in a bit closer, he looked at me and said "Uh...I can't. I'm the tight end!"
Shows how much I know!
We hit up the downtown area surrounding the reception location, The Grain Exchange, where the excellent ideas from the bridal party really took off. An homage to West Side Story was a must...as was a recreation of the fight/dance scene from Michael Jackson's "Beat It" (complete with sound effects compliments of the groomsmen). Gotta love a wedding party with ideas!
The reception was decorated to the hilt with gorgeous flower arrangements mixed in with pumpkins and cupcakes topped with bats....a bit of a nod to the weekend festivities. The speeches were especially note-worthy...as both the Matron of Honor and the Best Man decided to do visual aids with their toasts....the comparison between the groom and Golom was a highlight, for sure!
It was a wonderful evening, and Katie and Tim were surrounded by supportive, loving family and friends. It was also my 2nd to last wedding of the season...a season that went FAR too quickly!
I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! I had a blast with your group yesterday!
Church of the Gesu. Absolutely STUNNING.
