Hello savvy readers! This is Heather from Then Heather Said.
Julie is driving from Wisconsin to New York with her husband at the moment, and asked if I could give you all a recap from their wedding. I was honored to be able to attend Julie and Dan’s marriage ceremony and celebration, along with our friend Ashley, and wanted to give you glimpse of what made the day so fantastic.
Overall, the wedding was full of details which showcased Dan and Julie’s beautiful relationship, their wonderful personalities, and the love that so clearly surrounds this amazing couple.
As the wedding began the anticipation sunk in. We all knew that Julie was going to be a stunning bride and awaited her appearance.
Julie and her maids were patiently awaiting, too.
And then it was time to come down the aisle. The girls, wearing blue dresses they chose to best capture their own personal style, carried flowers from the popular Dane County Farmers Market on the square in Madison.
Everyone was radiant, but none as radiant as the bride. 
The groom was glowing, as Julie appeared. His acapella group which has been singing together since high school, gave a savvy serenade to his savvy bride. “That’s All” by Michael Buble, is their song and was preformed beautifully.
Dan and Julie’s vows were spectacular. For Julie’s 19th birthday, Dan had written her 19 post it notes, each complete with song lyrics that described her and how he felt for her. For his vows, Dan made cards containing 29 promises in the same way. The guests in the audience seemed to have a lot of fun recognizing the song titles by the lyrics, before Dan announced them after sharing each promise with his bride.
Julie’s vows included a list of 29 reasons why she loved Dan and wanted to stay with him forever.
Foodie bloggers may agree that "Because you take photos of me in the kitchen when I’m cooking" was pretty epic. [also, please note that Julie’s list matches her wedding colors. just saying.]
The I do’s and the rings were exchanged with care.
Mr. and Mrs. were introduced, for the first time.
Let’s pause and talk about the view for a second…breathtaking!!!
See you at the reception!
