Valerie & Adam ~ married

2009 wedding season kicked off with a bang[e] a couple weeks ago. Valerie & Adam Bange had a beautiful wedding and an all star cast of local vendors to help pull it all together. I have to say one of my favorite aspects of the day was watching and listening as Annette Tate from 28Twenty Productions filmed Valerie’s message to Adam. Adam and Valerie have spent a good deal of their relationship in separate states because Adam is doing a post-doctoral fellowship at Oak Ridge National Lab in Tennessee and Valerie lives here in Cincinnati and works at P & G. Valerie was emotional as she expressed how happy she was to finally be married and how she can’t wait to live together in the same state…much less the same house. They are not sure where their lives will take them when he finishes, but they seem to be up for just about anything. Adam’s best man joked during his toast that Adam might just be a full-time student and I would say he is well on his way :)

Here is Nancy from Brideface putting the finished touches on Valerie’s makeup…which turned out gorgeous of course!

This is probably my favorite bridesmaid dress/shoe combo ever! I kept raving about how cute these dresses from White House | Black Market were :)
