This was a spectacular day, about five years in the making. Marnie and Wsiel first met while in high school while delivering sandwiches to homeless people with their youth group. It was love at first sight. Wsiel is a native of the Dominican Republic and has experienced a tremendous uphill battle with immigration. His own brother was deported several years ago. When Wsiel and Marnie set their wedding date, it was his mother’s dream to visit the U.S. to watch her son’s marriage. Miracles really do happen and they were granted permission to visit for one month. Wsiel’s brother, still in the Domincan Republic, was able to participate courtesy of Skype. Get this, the bride’s 87 year old grandmother made her beautiful dress! Marnie’s design talents brought the island feel to the beautiful Boettcher Mansion in honor of the groom’s native Dominican Republic. We were so honored to be a part of this incredible celebration!
Here are just a few of my favorites…
