Cari & Steve in Lawrence, KS

Cari Bradford is shy -- so shy that it took a few glasses of wine to give her the courage to approach Steve Vukelich at a brewery and ask him to dance. Five years later the two decided to catch a show at The Second City comedy club during a weekend in Chicago. Super-shy Cari was called to the stage to participate in the act, but was stunned to find that Steve had prearranged to propose in front of the 200-person crowd. They married a year later in Lawrence at a festive autumn celebration. The Bride Cari Bradford The Groom Steve Vukelich The Date October 2
