The significance of the white guitar? Kirsten explains, “Steve and I are HUGE Dave Matthews Band fans. Together we’ve seen more than 50 shows! There is a song for every moment in life and a story in every song. His music is such a big part of our story that we wanted to incorporate it into our wedding day. Our table names were song names with lyrics on the back of each card. Our first dance was to ‘Steady As We Go’ by Dave Matthews. The guitar was a wedding present from Steve. He gave me Dave’s electric guitar that he used in shows and personalized with a really unique drawing. It was signed by the whole band! BEST GIFT EVER! “Rebecca and Mike of Garone Photography really captured the day perfectly. From candids to cornfields we could not be happier with the photos,” says Kirsten. “The best part of the day was our ‘First Look.’ The pictures show that we actually saw each other before the wedding. It was such a special moment for just the two of us. We were able to take all of our photos before the ceremony and spend an hour together, laughing and really enjoying one another before all the excitement began. We were then able to spend the whole cocktail hour with our guests and not miss a single moment of our wedding day! We recommend this for couples looking to go a little less traditional route.”

Her advice for other couples planning weddings: “I would advise other couples who are the ‘do-it-yourself’ types like Steve and me not to underestimate how much work it takes to pull off an outdoor wedding! Time flies ...you think you have plenty of time to get things done but it sneaks up on you at the last minute. Surround yourself with good friends and family who won’t abandon you if you start to go a little nutty in the weeks leading up to the big day! Enjoy every minute because it truly is the best day of your life, but one that goes by in the blink of an eye. Take a few moments throughout the night to just sit and observe everyone having a blast. It definitely makes it all worth it.”
