Couple of The Month ~ Paula + Luke, Crystal Gardens Southgate

We are excited to be coordinating Paula and Luke’s wedding day on Friday, November 15 at Crystal Gardens. Here is a word from Paula ….
Luke
and I met in March of 2008 through my niece. My niece Michelle, her fiance
(at the time) Dave and I bowled on Friday nights. One Friday night Dave
brought a friend to watch us bowl which was (Luke) we met that night and there
was an instant connection we got to know each other and let nature take it’s
course.
I am in
the medical field working as a Medical Assistant and a student pursing my BSN
in nursing. 
On
December 18, 2009 Luke took me to Frankenmuth, MI for a weekend get away. On
December 19th Luke had arranged a romantic horse and carriage ride for the
evening. After standing outside in the frigid cold for 2 hours about 5 mins before we approached the carriage it started snowing the Christmas
music was playing I felt a romantic feeling. As we rode through town Luke asked
me if we had did everything that I wanted to do in Frankenmuth yet? I told him
pretty much and that’s when he told me that he had not and proposed to me. I
didn’t even see him pull the ring box out yes he was that smooth.
My
upcoming wedding plans are finalizing everything and getting all the little
personal touches complete for my wedding at Crystal Gardens in Southgate, MI.We
have 7 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen. My colors are black and white with a pop of
red and the theme is really a black and white love theme.
