Inside the house, laughter filled the air. The girls were gathered upstairs in Michaela’s childhood bedroom, making final memories before the ceremony.

Afterward, Michaela and the bridesmaids slipped into their gorgeous dresses. One emotional highlight was the Daddy-Daughter first look—tears flowed freely during this heartfelt moment.

Soon after, we headed to Oak Grove Mennonite Church for the first look. I love this newer tradition; it allows couples to connect and calm nerves before the ceremony.

These quiet, private exchanges are often the most memorable.
