Melissa finished the last touches with her dress and strolled her way across Rice Park to meet her groom Michael. To this day, there is still something so fairy tale about seeing a girl dressed in white in that enchanting park with the back drop of the historic Landmark Center. I had picked out some nooks around downtown St. Paul that I have been excited to use, including a short jaunt across the river. The Minnesota History Center with its purple reflections could not have complimented the reception decor more perfectly. Tall pampas grasses were a hit, not to mention orchids of many colors and sizes. As the wine flowed, gourmet dish after dish made its way through the party to everyone's bliss. Dancing closed off the night with little girl after little girl waiting in line to try out Melissa's veil. What a touching scene.
