Joy and personal touches filled Grace and Zach’s Palais Royale South Bend wedding this summer. While their celebration swirled around them, the bride and groom could hardly tear their eyes away from one another! They wrote personalized notes on napkins to share during their reception, perfectly demonstrating their close bond.
The Love Story
To tell the story of Grace and Zach’s love, we have to start at the very beginning… these two met for the first time as babies! Introduced by their moms who were friends at the time, Grace and Zach ultimately went their own ways in life… if only temporarily! They reunited at a New Year’s Eve party many, many years later. Seizing the opportunity, Zach ditched his friends to hitch a ride home with Grace. That night, he famously told Grace’s mom (who was driving them home) that he was going to marry Grace one day. Never mind that she had a boyfriend at the time! The two started dating the following year and the rest, as they say, is history.
Palais Royale South Bend Reception Details
Grace and Zach transformed Palais Royale South Bend for an enchanting event. The organic greenery and stems decorating each table paired perfectly with the sage green and floral bridesmaids’ dresses. The couple included wedding photos of their married guests in their own guest book as a tribute to the love stories that light the way for their own. The adoring looks between the newlyweds is surely just a taste of the love that will continue to grow throughout their life together.
