Bright & Cheery Wedding at The Eloise

Wedding Date: April 16, 2021

Sarah Waller and Hunter Magdanz’s love story began when they matched on a dating site in 2019. The two ended up dating other people for a while, but those relationships didn’t work out. A few months later, Sarah knew she had to give Hunter another chance when they matched again and she noticed their aligned morals and similar interests. Hunter forgave her for not replying to earlier messages, and less than a year later, he took Sarah to the park bench where they had sat on their first date near a gorgeous floral display, dropped to one knee and popped the question with their sisters looking on. As an event planner herself, Sarah was ecstatic to finally be planning her own wedding, even with the uncertainty of COVID. Everything came together even better than expected, with Sarah’s sisters, nieces and cousin among her bridesmaids and Hunter’s uncle officiating, and before the ceremony, during their first look, the couple shared personal, handwritten vows. The bride’s mother walked her down the aisle to an arch made by the groom’s father (later used in a headboard for the newlyweds). Bright bouquets of peonies, Sarah’s favorite flower, and cheery tablescapes symbolized the happiness of the day.
