When Maggie and Jeff met during their junior year at the University of Missouri, a beautiful love story began. Introduced by a mutual friend, their first encounter over margaritas set the stage for a relationship that would soon become inseparable. After returning from winter break, they continued to see each other, and by Valentine’s Day, they were undeniably a couple. Their bond grew stronger over the years, with Maggie realizing Jeff was the one during a 6.5-hour road trip from Chicago back to Mizzou. Their non-stop conversations and eagerness to spend time together even after the journey spoke volumes about their connection. We are excited to share more about this enchanting wedding at Exmoor Country Club.
The Perfect Proposal
The proposal was nothing short of magical. Jeff had planned an evening out with friends, but little did Maggie know what was in store for her. In an Uber, Jeff mentioned that traffic was bad due to a NASCAR event in Chicago, suggesting they walk along the river. It was during this scenic stroll that Jeff popped the question, creating a moment that Maggie would cherish forever. To top it off, Jeff had arranged a surprise engagement party back at their apartment, making it a day filled with joy, love, and celebration.
Choosing a First Look
Maggie and Jeff decided to have a first look before their ceremony at Exmoor Country Club. Maggie wanted to see Jeff beforehand to calm her nerves, reminding herself that the day was about the two of them. It also allowed them to take photos before the ceremony, giving them the freedom to enjoy their cocktail hour and spend quality time with their guests. This decision added a personal touch to their day, making it even more special.
Wedding Day Bliss
The wedding day at Exmoor Country Club was a culmination of love, meticulous planning, and cherished moments. Despite the planning being more stressful than anticipated, Maggie found it all worthwhile. From the heartfelt speeches to the lively dancing, every part of the day was a testament to their love story. Maggie cherished the kind words from her sister, dad, and brother-in-law, each sharing beautiful stories about their journey together. The dance floor was alive with joy, with guests dancing the night away, creating unforgettable memories.
Advice for Future Brides
Maggie’s advice for future brides is invaluable. She emphasizes the importance of looking up inspiration for photos and the overall vibe you want for your wedding. Being good at delegating tasks to trusted individuals is crucial. Having contracts and not hesitating to ask questions if confused can save a lot of stress. Her wisdom and experience can guide many brides-to-be in planning their perfect day.
Future Plans
As Maggie and Jeff embark on this new chapter of their lives, they have an exciting adventure ahead. They are planning a trip to Italy, starting on June 13th, exploring Sicily, Capri, Florence, Tuscany, and ending in Lake Garda. Blending their desires for beach and European experiences, they look forward to this romantic journey. Beyond travel, they are excited about parenting together and cherishing the small, everyday moments with each other.
Maggie and Jeff’s wedding at Exmoor Country Club was a beautiful celebration of love, family, and friendship.
