The A.G. Hill Ballroom at Macalester College

I didn’t have much planning in this part of the ceremony. Brian’s parents were paying for the wedding, and his mother wanted the Hill Ballroom to be a certain way. Brian and I had been to events there before, but nothing as fancy as our own wedding day. His mother had requested that there be seat covers, and these huge sheer streamers hung from the ceilings. It looked like a winter wonderland, really magical. I was grateful that Brian’s mother was able to do this, because I don’t think I would have had the vision she had.
