Anna and Jake got married on August 20, 2022 in Chagrin Falls, OH in the backyard of Jake's parent's home. It was a particularly special day for myself, as Anna & Jake are friends of mine. 

The whole day was nothing short of magical. From the afternoon outdoor ceremony to the lively reception following, it was a day full of fun, laughter, smiles, and fond memories. Some of Anna’s favorite memories from the day….

A moment that made you smile: My dad is an accomplished guitarist and enjoys singing. He plays in a jazz band & performs regularly around town and at church. He secretly distributed lyrics to a song he wrote about Jake and I to our guests, and surprised me with a performance. Suddenly all my guests were singing the chorus as if they knew this song which was confusing to Jake and I- but then I caught on! The song was called "She's in Love With Jake".

A moment that made you laugh: Seeing my new brother-in-law holding my chihuahua Taco dressed in a tuxedo in the crowd while standing at the altar!

Favorite moment: Too many to think of. Walking down the aisle with my mom and dad was so special. Digging up a bottle of bourbon Jake and I buried a month prior for "good weather" on our wedding day & sharing that bottle/taking shots with our closest friends. The pouring rain during dinner & listening to my family's speeches. Dancing to Spanish music until the wee hours of the morning with our most tried & true family/friends!
