John and Emalee met at work through a mutual friend. At first they didn’t think it would work out but as they saw each other more the spark grew and the rest is history. That same friend ended up being the officiant at their wedding at the Dorr E. Felt Mansion in Holland, Michigan. Hearing her anecdotes about the couple provided lots of laughs and the drizzle of rain didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits.

Emalee’s dress had a gorgeous long train and the lace matched with the dress her new daughter, Honor, wore. Blending the family together and including her in the day was important when planning. The antique inspired decorations paired perfectly with the mansions already gorgeous space. Emalee and her party even got to stay in the mansion the night before.

Although the guest count was small there was definitely not a lack of energy at their reception, the alcohol was  flowing and everyone was out on the dance floor. It proved to be an energetic day that came together seamlessly and I know I won’t be forgetting this wedding anytime soon.
