Carrie + Michael : Wedding

What a wonderful wedding! Great weather, great couple, great family and friends, great venue and every detail thought of. I've known Carrie since back in 2002 when she became my little sis in Sigma Kappa. Many fun memories have transpired since then. Carrie and Michael just finished up rotations for med school through IU. So in the midst of moving to Alabama to start their residencies this was the perfect opportunity to get married. How Carrie managed to plan all of this wedding while doing rotations, still a bit of a mystery, but I'm sure her mom and sister helped quite a bit.

In the morning the ladies got glammed up at Urban Euphoria down in Greenwood. Back at the church Our Lady of Greenwood, the guys and gals got ready. Carrie and Michael opted to do a first look and get most of the pictures done before the ceremony. It really allowed for the rest of the day to be much more relaxed. After the full mass wedding, they headed downtown for the reception and some fun pictures at the circle. It was so gorgeous downtown! We walked from the circle to the Sheraton in time for them to enjoy their cocktail hour with their guests. (a sweet perk of seeing each other before) The reception room was beautiful as was the view from the Panorama Ballroom. As day turned to evening, everyone enjoyed celebrating with the newlyweds. Several out of town guests were at the wedding, including Carrie's aunt from Poland. A good sign that people were enjoying themselves is when it's midnight, everyone is tired but not eager to leave the dance floor even when the music is off and the lights are on!

Carrie and Michael honeymooned in sunny Mexico in all-inclusive relaxation style. Just yesterday they started orientation for residency, talk about a whirlwind of life changes. I can't say much more other than Tim and I truely admire this couple and are honored to call them friends. I can't be more happy for Carrie about finding such a great guy like Michael to spend her life with. All of our love and best wishes. We look forward to an Alabama visit in the future!

Hi Megan, can you share if there is a story about the cake(? - iced pastry) shown with the wedding cake & what the writing is on it?

Yes, It's a Polish tradition that the bride's parents present the bread with salt to the newlyweds so they will never go hungry and always have "seasoning" to their life. Carrie's mom, and all of her family is from Poland.
