Heather & John in Kansas City, MO

Heather and John’s picture-perfect rose garden wedding was sophisticated and elegant, with a classic color palette of champagne and ivory. THE BRIDE Heather Tilly THE GROOM John Robertson IV THE DATE September 18 At the Have a Nice Day Café near Kansas City at a friend’s birthday party, Heather was having a somewhat uncomfortable night…at first. “It was my first time in Westport—I’m not the kind of person who hung out in bars like that normally,” says Heather, 24 and a marketing research associate. John, 27, had never been there before either. But he felt it was fate that he was there once he spotted Heather. “I couldn’t take my eyes off of her,” says John, a technology services analyst. He eventually went up to her. “It was the first time I had approached someone in that bold manner since the third grade,” he says. “Someone should have warned her then—I knew she was the one.”
