Liz & erik marry at St. Lawrence Catholic Church and host their wedding reception at Kellerman's Event Center
Liz and Erik came to the alter making sure their focus was on the gift of marriage God had given them! It was important to them that they really meditate on the gravity of the morning before saying their vows.
Liz and Erik’s wedding day was on a cooler Minnesota summer day, they married at their home church, St. Lawrence Catholic Church & Newman Center in Minneapolis. Their first look took place down the aisle—an emotional and heartfelt moment as Erik saw Liz for the first time.
For these two, marriage is a blessing they once thought might not happen until they found one another. During the reception speeches, one father quoted Fiddler on the Roof:
“The most miraculous one of all is the one I thought could never be. God has given you to me.”
It was the perfect way to describe Liz and Erik’s love story. (Which the Dj diligently played right after speeches were over to refresh everyone’s memory.)
After the ceremony, we stopped at Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis for portraits, then made our way to Matoska Park in White Bear Lake. The joy between them was contagious, and they loved being surrounded by friends and family on such a special day.
A trolley ride from Schmitty and Sons carried the wedding party to the reception at Kellerman’s Event Center. The reception theme was travel, with postcards on each table showcasing adventures from Liz and Erik’s journeys together. One of the most touching tributes of the day honored Liz’s late mother. Her mother and her mother-in-law’s wedding dresses were displayed for guests to admire, their portraits were included. Liz and Erik even cut their cake with the same knife her parents had used at their own wedding. These thoughtful details were a beautiful reminder of the legacy of love that surrounded them.
The evening continued with celebration as friends and family filled the dance floor. From heartfelt beginnings to a fun-filled reception, Liz and Erik’s wedding day was a perfect reflection of their story—one filled with gratitude and deep connection.
