Every wedding has a story, but some weddings feel like they were written just to remind us how ridiculously beautiful, hilarious, and heartwarming love can be. Lexi and Patrick’s big day at Bearspaw Golf Course? Oh, it had all the chapters.
I met Lexi at work—long before white dresses, seating charts, and vows. One day we were co-workers, and the next I was witnessing her walk down the aisle toward the love of her life. It’s one of those full-circle moments that makes me extra grateful for what I do.
And the connections didn’t stop there. One of Lexi’s bridesmaids? One of my dear friends from my first nursing jobs ever! The rest of the bridal party? Let’s just say by the end of the night, they didn’t feel like new faces. They felt like family. (Especially after a few dance floor sing-alongs and some shared glow stick moves.)
Now, picture this: It’s a perfect September day—actually perfect. Not a cloud in sight, just crisp blue skies and golden sunshine pouring over Bearspaw’s rolling greens. Family flew in from England, which instantly gave the day a little royal flair (and some fantastic accents that made everything sound extra charming).
But it wasn’t all just beautiful backdrops and heartfelt tears—Lexi and Patrick brought the fun. When it was Lexi’s turn to read her vows, she pulled out her paper, gave it a dramatic little puff of air to “blow off the dust,” and had everyone cracking up. It was the kind of moment that reminded us all—marriage is serious, but the best ones are built on shared laughter.
And then, the party. Oh, the party.
Let me just say: I’ve seen a lot of receptions. But when glow sticks make an appearance, you know it’s going to be a night to remember. The dance floor turned into a technicolor blur of joy, moves, and maybe one too many “Sweet Caroline” sing-alongs. Even some of my own coworkers were in the crowd, and we all danced like there was no such thing as morning shifts.
Lexi and Patrick, your day was pure magic. Thank you for letting me document your love, your people, and your epic party. Wishing you a lifetime of laughter, late-night dance parties, and spontaneous vows (dust optional).
