Melissa and Josh have both traveled all around the world, but their enduring love brought them back together to Ann Arbor to marry- the place where it all began. They revisited all of their favorite spots on the U of M campus, where they first met and fell in love. They had their first kiss under the Bell Tower, which is also where they signed their marriage license. They kissed under the Denison Archway, where you’re only supposed to kiss your betrothed. Their outdoor ceremony was emotional and intimate, in a lovely garden at Cobblestone Farm in Ann Arbor, where they walked one another down the aisle. There were so many personal touches to the details of their day- Melissa wore her grandmother’s vintage brooch and earrings, that lent even more elegance to her chic and timeless look; Josh’s mother spoke at their ceremony; his cousin sang the song for their first dance; they wrote their own touching and heartfelt vows, and a close family friend was their officiant. Melissa and her friends and family even arranged most of the flowers for the day. Their guests had a laidback and fun evening playing croquet near the barns and farm animals, and dancing, eating, and laughing together. It was a truly beautiful wedding day!
