It’s hard to put into words how beautiful and heartfelt Sarah and Jack’s gorgeous winter wedding was.  The passion they both have for life, each other, serving others, and their family and friends is beyond anything I’ve ever witnessed.  Since Jack is from Virginia, where they met, Sarah’s family bussed a bunch of their friends to Kansas for the big day, and then from Lawrence out to Oskaloosa to the country venue.  Their whole day was filled with a lot of laughter, tears, and reminiscing, and it couldn’t have been more clear that Sarah and Jack are going to have a long, healthy, and happy life together.  It was such a great way to start out the year!

Everything was styled SO perfectly that I’m pretty sure Sarah could have a future in wedding planning.  The DIY vintage inspired details were exquisite, from the cute custom Mason Jars to the homemade wood boxes on the tables, to the amazingly unique hanging wood aisle runner.   Since her family and mine are great friends (I used to babysit Sarah and her siblings…photo below), my dad surprised them with his vintage 1936 Cord for their getaway vehicle, which went perfectly with the vintage theme.   It turned out to be a perfect day and very warm for January in the midwest, and everyone partied until late and bid the couple farewell with a sparkler exit.
