JUST MARRIED
heidi & rich M I A N A J U N P H OTO
J U N E 4 , 2 01 6 Rich Wendell met Heidi Hon at the St. James Gate Irish Pub over a Guinness in July of 2013. After several years of dating, they adopted a Vizsla named Max and moved in together. Rich proposed to Heidi on her birthday in September of 2015 over a home-cooked meal, her engagement ring a unique yellow sapphire. The Bally Spring Inn was a wonderful venue, and its resident wedding coordinator, Stephanie, treated them like family. Oishi Japan's dumplings and sushi were a hit at cocktail hour, and thanks to the discovery of local Aunt Jack's Real Home Baking at the local Saucon Valley Farmers’ Market, a delicious vanilla almond cream cake and pie bar was paired up with succulent ice cream from the Penn State Creamery. Beautiful bouquets, boutonnieres and shepherd-hook vases played up the theme colors inspired by blue hydrangeas, including hints of yellow, greys and blues. The salon team tackled makeup for 11 people with phenomenal skill. The wedding was a true dance party, thanks to the DJ, and included a unique send-off for their one and only Max, who passed away suddenly prior to the wedding, with helium balloons and his favorite treats. The perfect day ended with sparklers and s'mores at a lovely bonfire.
