Fate was on Andrew Wolak’s side when he sat behind Jordan Weiss on the first day of physical therapy school in 2018. They wound up being partners for a semester-long project and soon became partners in romance. Four years later, family and friends from across the country converged on an ideal day for a wedding, with the natural beauty of rolling cornfields and a serene lake as the setting. Jordan held a bouquet of O’Hara, Quicksand and Amnesia roses as an accent to their palette of neutral tones, with matching florals on the ceremony arbor. As cocktail hour began, newlywed bliss came over Andrew, who walked around asking everyone, “Have you met my wife?” At the reception, table numbers were accompanied by photos of the couple at the age of the table number. Wedding photos from their parents’ and grandparents’ weddings hung on a window as a tribute to their marriages, and the newlyweds’ cake used Jordan’s grandmother’s famous carrot cake recipe for a sweet ending to their family affair.
