Caroline and Andy had their summer wedding at Cannon River Winery! They first met at a church retreat on Lake Geneva back in 2015. While on stage giving her testimony, Caroline caught Andyβs eye. Later that night, a basketball game broke out and Andy stole the show. Later in the night, Andy introduced himself to Caroline and they hit it off. At the time, Andy was living in Indiana and Caroline lived in Chicago but despite the long distance, he still went above and beyond the pursue her. Eventually, Caroline joined Andy out in Indiana. In 2016, Andy brought Caroline up to the lake. She thought they were on a mission to pick up spices for Thanksgiving dinner. Instead, Andy brought her to the same spot where he first told her βI love youβ and then he popped the question! Of course, she said βYes!β
When planning the wedding, Cannon River Winery was the first and only venue they looked at. Neither Andy or Caroline drink alcohol, but they both thought the winery was so beautiful and it was close to where Carolineβs parentsβ live. They decided to have a laid back wedding and keep things simple. As Caroline puts it, βI donβt want to lose the focus of what this day is really about, and as long as Andy is there, I really couldnβt be happier.β To help with the wedding day, this couple recruited their talented friends. One friend designed all of the floral. Another friend sang at the ceremony. Another creative friend designed the wedding signs. Having their friends help with their big day made it even more special! Everything came together so beautifully and I loved seeing how smiley Caroline and Andy were the entire day!
