Ragan & Barry in Stillwater, OK
Ragan Seefeldt and Barry Boland wanted an outdoor wedding and they didn't have to look far for a venue. Held at the home of the bride's parents in Stillwater, Oklahoma, their pink-infused affair was made possible by the hard work of generous friends and family. The Bride Ragan Seefeldt, 27, operating room nurse The Groom Barry Boland, 29, equity trader The Date June 19 Ragan and Barry both attended the University of Oklahoma but did not meet until many years later through mutual friends at a college football game in Dallas. On Valentine's Day, Ragan cooked Barry a romantic dinner and they spent the evening cuddling on the couch. Though Barry didn't have the ring yet (it came a few weeks later), together they decided to get married. Ragan had the best wedding planner of all: her mom! The two women spent time collaborating long-distance since Ragan lives in New York City. Getting married at home definitely put extra stress on my parents, she says. My mom worked tirelessly on the house and my dad spent months 'babying' his lawn.
