Brandi + Dave

I've got a beautiful farmhouse wedding to share with you all today. Brandi + Dave's wedding weekend was packed with activities, stylish details and personal touches. The wedding and related events took place at Innsbrook, a sprawling resort that was co-created 40 years ago by Brandi's father. Brandi and Dave kicked off the events on Friday afternoon with a "Welcome to Missouri" dinner complete with a whole roasted pig. The wedding and brunch reception took place Saturday morning followed by a pool-side reception in the evening. After the last of the send-off sparklers went dark I parted ways, but I'm told the festivities continued with an after-party and recovery brunch on Sunday morning. As you might have guessed by now, this post's a big one and not one to miss!

Time for dinner!

Brandi and Dave's meet cute would be dismissed in Hollywood as too unbelievable. Brandi and Dave met while taking a scuba refresher course in Turks and Caicos. Dave and Theodore were passing the torpedo back and forth when an errant throw by Dave sent the toy Brandi's way, where it lodged between her thighs. The rest is history.

Time to start the party!

Dave performed two songs that he wrote for Brandi.

Congratulations, Brandi and Dave! It was honor and a pleasure.
