Kate Baxter and Christian Hanson’s wedding day was like a love sonnet: so poetic it almost felt imaginary and yet the perfect culmination of their love story. The couple first met in AP European History class as high school sophomores but remained merely acquaintances for years. Seven years after graduating, Christian happened upon Kate’s twin in Chicago and learned that Kate now lived in New York City, very close to where he had just accepted a new job. Christian promised he would reach out to Kate after moving, and, once he did, their romance finally blossomed. While planning their wedding, the couple knew they wanted to prioritize family and their shared values. The couple got ready for the special day in Kate’s childhood home, and the ceremony took place in the exact same church where Kate’s parents got married. After saying their heartfelt vows, the celebration moved to Omaha Country Club for the reception where lush greenery and bright flowers transformed the historic clubhouse into an indoor garden. Colorful wildflowers created a vivid touch beneath the vaulted ceiling while wide windows and chandeliers were decked in vines. The live band added to the elegance of the spacious hall as the lights dimmed to warm yellow hues for a night of dancing and excitement.
