ANNE + MICHAEL

ON THEIR THIRD DATE, THIS TRAVEL-LOVING COUPLE JET-SET TO MUNICH, GERMANY FOR THE WEEKEND. ON THE PLANE RIDE HOME TO CHICAGO, WHILE ANNE WAS SOUND ASLEEP IN THE SEAT NEXT TO HIM, MICHAEL QUIETLY PENNED HIS WEDDING VOWS. HE PULLED THOSE VOWS OUT NEARLY SIX YEARS LATER, IN MUNICH AGAIN, AND READ THEM TO ANNE FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THE ALTER.

SATURATED IN BAVARIAN CULTURE, MICHAEL + ANNE MARRIED JUST OUTSIDE OF MUNICH. THEIR CEREMONY WAS CLOAKED IN CLASSIC HUES OF IVORY AND FERN AS THEIR GUESTS PERCHED ON WOODEN BENCHES. FOLLOWING THEIR BIERGARTEN COCKTAIL RECEPTION, WHERE MICHAEL OPENED THE FIRST KEG OF TRADITIONAL GERMAN BEER, GUESTS WERE ESCORTED INTO THE CHIC RECEPTION SPACE, WHERE GUESTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD CELEBRATED INTO THE NEXT DAY!
