Kristin and Scott

Wedding Date: 2011-08-27 | City: La Crosse, WI
Photography: Mueller Photography

Scott and I met while celebrating New Year’s in downtown La Crosse. We didn’t have our first date until four months later, but after that, we knew there was something special between us. Three and a half years later, Scott proposed at our home in La Crescent, Minn., in front of our Christmas tree, which had four new ornaments on it spelling out “Will you marry me?”

I knew I didn’t want a long engagement, so after all of the phone calls were made, the planning started. We wanted an outdoor wedding in La Crosse to capture the beauty of the area. After researching outdoor venues, we chose the fountain at Riverside Park for our ceremony.

After a miserably hot July, my one worry was the weather. I wanted our guests to be comfortable, so I had white, decorative beverage tubs filled with water bottles for the wedding. Turns out, there was no need to worry. We were fortunate to have the most beautiful, sunny August day with a slight breeze. It could not have been more perfect.

Adam Mueller, from Mueller Photography, took pictures of Scott and I before the ceremony. It was so nice to have this private moment where we could relax and have fun. Adam made us feel completely comfortable, and he took all of the wonderful pictures that I had imagined. Our wedding day was everything I wanted it to be, filled with love, laughter, family, and friends. When I was walking down the aisle toward my soon-to-be husband, all of the little details didn’t matter anymore. The only thing that mattered was Scott. I am so lucky to have married my best friend and soul mate.
