A Rainy Day Wedding at Harriet Island Pavilion in St. Paul, Minnesota

Both Rachel (29 and a radiation therapist) and Greg (30 and a chiropractor) graduated from the same university (UW-Eau Claire), so when Greg planned his own graduation party with all of their friends and family, Rachel had no idea he was secretly planning a proposal. She was especially surprised that he would propose so publicly, saying, “It was really thoughtful of him because he tends to be more shy about being the center of attention.” They planned their wedding at the Harriet Island Pavillion in St. Paul, Minnesota, where, “you got to experience the beauty of the park and the river, but also the modern beauty of the city across the river.” Unfortunately, it rained on their wedding day, so they had to move the ceremony indoors, but the couple kept up an incredibly positive attitude and carried on with their celebration. They held the cocktail hour and most of the reception outdoors, and they even stopped to take some impromptu photographs in the rain.
