It was only a matter of time before Taylor Amann and Bradley Burling crossed paths as the two attended the University of Wisconsin- Madison and lived in neighboring buildings. But it was especially wonderful when they finally met on Valentine’s Day. That first date blossomed into many more, filled with trips and adventures, eventually leading them to buy their first home together. Lake Geneva has always held a special place in their hearts, so it was perfect when Bradley chose to propose to Taylor there after a boat ride. As an homage to their shared affinity for the lake, the couple chose to celebrate their marriage at Pier 290, nestled along the beautiful shores. Their wedding was classy, coastal and entirely true to them, from the nautical invitations to their vows with the glistening lake in the background. Taylor wore her first look of the night, a chic strapless corseted dress complemented by long lace gloves while Bradley was dapperly dressed in a classic tux and bowtie. After the ceremony, the wedding party went on a lake cruise aboard Lake Geneva Cruise Line’s vintage boat, decked ivory and peach florals. Taylor changed into a pearl-beaded, satin mini dress, and Bradley donned a vintage captain’s hat as the wedding party sailed around Lake Geneva. The night ended with a dip in the lake, wedding attire and all.
