Ali and Micah’s DIY wedding took place at Bruentrup Heritage Farm in Maplewood, MN. When Ali saw the barn, she knew it was the perfect place for the enchanting, rustic chic wedding she had envisioned. For their wedding, Ali and Micah created a few DIY wedding projects including burlap napkin holders, homemade labels for wedding favors, wedding programs, escort cards, floral arrangements, signs, and centerpieces. One of my favorite details of their big day was Ali’s stunning vintage dress!
Back in high school, these two were just acquaintances. They didn’t really get to know each other until New Year’s Eve of 2015. Micah was home on military leave when these two met at a hol. When Micah went back to San Antonio, TX, they still kept in touch and would Facetime or Skype every night. Overtime, these two went back and forth visiting each other, even if it was just for a few days. They made sure to see each other every month. On July 2nd, 2016, Ali flew alone from Minnesota to Kansas City, MO to meet Micah, who flew from Arkansas. They got all dressed up and planned a fun night out on the town in downtown Kansas City. They went out to dinner and took a stroll down by the little river walk. Suddenly, it started to downpour so they had to run three blocks to the parking garage where there car was. As they to their hotel, Ali could tell Micah had something planned but the rain had ruined his plans. When they arrived back to their hotel room, Ali went into the bathroom to change into sweats and dry off. When she came out of the bathroom, the lights were off but tea light candles lit up the room. Micah was down on one knee and asked, “Will you marry me?” Of course, Ali said yes!
