After Mandy & Mitch’s engagement session at Forest Park, I got in the car and called J to tell him how much I just adored both Many & Mitch. If you’ve never gotten the pleasure of meeting them, they both have the best bedside manner, genuine hearts, and wild love for one another…. they also both really really like the heart (Mandy is a nurse and Mitch just became a doctor- both for the heart).
Mandy and Mitch exchanged vows at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Cottleville on Friday, May 18th. The bridesmaids wore beautiful soft blush dresses from Azazie while groomsmen wore grey suits from the St. Louis Suit Company.
Mandy looked absolutely stunning in her gorgeous white dress with lace and beading from White Traditions Bridal and a long, flowing veil. Her fabulous up-do and makeup was done by Belleza Salon and Spa in O’Fallon.
The girls carried bouquets of lush white hydrangeas, white and pink spray roses, eucalyptus, dusty miller, and succulents. Mandy’s bouquet was wrapped in a pink rosary her grandma gave her when she was little. Groomsmen wore a boutonnière with white roses and Mitch’s had a little succulent. Petals & Bells of St. Paul, MO did a fabulous job, like Belinda always does.
Though it rained a good majority of the day, which is supposed to be good luck, but I don’t think they’ll need any luck. Mitch and Mandy were so joyful throughout the entire day, you couldn’t even tell that the weather wasn’t cooperating with us the entire time.
Their reception was held at and catered by All Occasions Banquet Center in St. Charles. They served a delicious salad, green beans, corn, two types of creamy pasta, baked chicken and beef option. The dessert bar featured yummy cookies and cupcakes from Bebe Liz Desserts.
Dr. & Mrs. Padkins, thanks so much for letting J and I be a part of your special day. We truly think the world of you both and are so excited to see where this journey will take you. Just know, we’re happy to travel to Minnesota (y’all, Mitch is doing his residency at THE Mayo Clinic) or anywhere else you’re wild hearts take you.
