I’m thrilled to take you on a journey through Shauni and Susie’s unforgettable LGBTQ wedding at The Lit GR in Grand Rapids, MI. Brace yourselves, because this queer celebration is full of love and fun!

The day kicked off with getting-ready snapshots ending with the last dance at the reception. Their wedding was a whirlwind of laughter, dance, and pure excitement. It was not just a wedding; it was a jubilant celebration of love, joy, and everything in between. But first, the beginning! 

The Beginning

These two lovebirds meet originally at a softball game. Inspired to meet through friends and family, the two were inseparable since.  Shauni was immediately drawn to Susie’s warm demeanor and captivating personality. 

The Ceremony

Since that unforgettable day, Shauni and Susie have been living life to the fullest, and their wedding was a true reflection of their vibrant spirits. Picture this: a triple wood arch adorned with flowers and greenery, creating a stunning backdrop for their heartfelt ceremony at Lit GR. From Shauni’s impeccably tailored suit with a blue tie and Susie’s stunning wedding white dress, the bridal party was decked out in style and ready to celebrate. And let’s not forget the bride’s unique crochet bouquet, adding a touch of handmade charm to her ensemble.

But amidst all the excitement, one of the most touching moments of the day was the first look between Shauni and Susie. Surprising each other with heartfelt emotions, it was a moment filled with love, anticipation, and sheer joy.

The Reception

After exchanging heartfelt vows, rings, and kisses beneath the triple wood arch, the newlyweds and their lively wedding party were more than ready to strike a pose for the photo session. Laughter filled the air as they captured unforgettable moments, and danced the night away. But let’s not forget the reception tables, each adorned with unique centerpieces that doubled as entertainment for guests. Yes, you read that right! Games galore graced every table, adding an extra layer of fun and excitement to the festivities.

And let’s not overlook the sweetest treat of all: ice cream from Kona Ice! Guests indulged in delicious frozen delights, cooling off on the warm summer day and adding a delightful touch to Shauni and Susie’s celebration.

Amidst the joyful chaos, there were also moments of genuine tenderness, like witnessing Shauni and Susie’s first dance as Mrs. and Mrs., which truly warmed the heart.

Shauni and Susie’s wedding was not just a celebration of love; it was a testament to the power of fun, laughter, and embracing every moment with open arms. It’s always an honor to share in the love stories of the LGBTQ+ community, and Shauni and Susie’s wedding was no exception. Congratulations once again to the happy couple!
