Lisa Pairitz and Frederick Freers Sept. 6, 2014 Wedding at St. Bartholomew Catholic Church; Reception at Factory 12 Event Loft Photos by Stacy Able Photography
Lisa Pairitz and Frederick (Freddie) Freers met at the Discover Cummins event in July 2011. Freddie was representing the manufacturing development program, and Lisa was representing the sales development program; their booths were right next to each other. “We started talking,” Lisa says. “The rest is history.” After dating for more than two years, the couple got engaged on a snowy morning in December 2013. “Freddie was adamant about getting a picture outside in the snow for a new picture frame he had recently bought me,” Lisa says. “Before going outside, I noticed he was very focused on finding the perfect spot for the picture, and I thought it was a little odd. We ended up walking around my parents’ property and landed on an open clearing atop a hill. It was a beautiful view, and my mom was there to capture the moment!” The couple were married in early fall at St. Bartholomew Catholic Church. They selected Factory 12 Event Loft for their reception. “The hardwood floors and exposed brick gave the venue rich character and a romantic touch,” Lisa says. The bride, who wore an ivory striped organza strapless ball gown with a sweetheart neckline and a chapel train, said her favorite moment was meeting her groom at the altar. “He looked so sweet standing there, and it was a surreal moment,” she says.
