My Favorite Photo - Not Knot Featured

From the moment I proposed to Katie, she had one goal in mind.  No, not a lifetime of marital bliss, but instead to make it onto The Knot.

Luckily, she went out and hired an awesome photographer (yes that is us featured in her blog banner), while also crafting an all-around beautiful and unique wedding.  All of this, I might add, was absolutely no-thanks to the man in the tan-suit.We were also blessed with a picture-perfect day despite threats of scattered thunderstorms and a flooding river across the street.  All of this hard work and good luck was well worth it, as a few months following our big-day, we received a phone call telling us that we would soon be a Real Wedding as featured on TheKnot.com!

We, or should I say, Katie, quickly answered the subsequent interview questionnaire and off it went.  Then, came nothing.  We hadn’t heard a thing until one day, Katie was doing a bit of self-googling (admit it, you’ve done it, we all have) and stumbled up our feature! And here it is: The Knot – Real Weddings!

Then, when I went to find it, I stumbled upon the mysterious: The Knot- Real Chinese Weddings!    Neither Katie nor I are the least bit Chinese to the best of our knowledge.  The blond hair and blue eyes are our biggest hint that we are probably correct in this assessment.  The only thing I can think of is that one of our flower girls, my now 4 year old cousin, is 1/2 Chinese.  She is the featured flowered girl, but as shot from behind, I don’t really believe that this would be the reason.

Another Favorite, Not Knot Featured

But hey, if we help a Chinese couple or two in the planning of their wedding, then I’m glad we could help.  It was such an awesome day and I really want to thank Katie for putting together such an amazing wedding and all our friends and family who made it out and made the day even more fun and memorable.

Also I’d be terribly mistaken to not thank, Michelle of Under Grace Photography and Becca of Benton Park Photography Co.  These two were absolutely were awesome.  I really can’t imagine being any happier with our pictures than we are with the shots they took. Amazing, perfect.  If you are looking for a photographer  or two near St. Louis, don’t bother looking elsewhere.
