For today’s real wedding we’re sharing the celebration of Colleen and Ryan. Colleen emailed us here at MHW and we fell in love with their gorgeous affair. Colleen and Ryan started as friends in 2006 and 2 years later they became roommates. Being just roommates didn’t last long with these two as the chemistry was too good. Soon enough they were dating and falling in love. We adored how Colleen described her wedding day when she emailed us so much that we decided to let her tell the story below!

As we write about today’s real wedding, we’re delighted with how popular winter weddings are becoming again. Not that they ever went out, but we at MHW are so excited to see more white winter weddings as they feel like fairytales! And maybe we’re also thrilled because Cali doesn’t have a real winter, so we can live our winter wedding dream through others.

Today we’re eager to share with you, Lauren and Matt’s wedding at the famous Willard Intercontinental Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue in the ornate Crystal Ballroom in the heart of DC.

Although it took Dave 5.5 years…he finally proposed to Jill after a 49ers game at the romantic Fairmont San Francisco. 5.5 years prior to the proposal Jill and Dave met flying solo and a friend’s wedding. The fireman rescued the nurse from being single that weekend and a life partnership was made.

Dave & Jill are avid travelers and wanted to have a destination wedding for family and friends. After traversing the world together, they settled on Key West, FL with the jaw dropping backdrop for their ceremony pictured below. Jump into their sunset inspired wedding with bold oranges and fuchsias below.
