Allison and David’s wedding day was a beautiful celebration of love, friendship, and family at the iconic Milwaukee War Memorial. Surrounded by stunning lakefront views and the city’s rich history, the couple’s big day was filled with heartfelt moments, laughter, and unique personal touches. From the emotional first looks to the lively reception, every detail of their wedding was truly magical.
Getting Ready
The day started with separate preparations for the bride and groom. Allison and her bridesmaids enjoyed a morning of pampering at Scott Free Salon in Downtown Milwaukee, where they got their hair and makeup done before heading to the War Memorial. Meanwhile, David and his groomsmen spent the morning together, preparing for the big moment by sharing stories and excitement for the day ahead.
The First Looks
The first looks were filled with emotion and excitement. Allison shared a special moment with her bridesmaids as they saw her in her wedding dress for the first time, followed by an emotional first look with her father. The most heartwarming moment came when Allison and David saw each other for the first time in the courtyard of the War Memorial. David’s expression was priceless, filled with awe as he took in his beautiful bride.
The Ceremony
The ceremony occurred outdoors at the Milwaukee War Memorial, where guests gathered to witness Allison and David’s vows. David walked his mother down the aisle, followed by the wedding party. Allison’s father proudly escorted her down the aisle, and David couldn’t take his eyes off her. Their vows were a beautiful exchange of love and promises, sealing their commitment with a joyful kiss that sparked applause and cheers from their family and friends.
The Reception
After the ceremony, the celebration continued with a lively reception. The wedding party made grand entrances, setting the tone for the night. Allison and David’s first dance to “Clear” by NEEDTOBREATHE was a touching moment, showcasing their deep connection. One of the most memorable and unique touches of the night was the pizza cutting—an alternative to the traditional cake cutting—that had everyone smiling.
The father-daughter and mother-son dances followed, creating emotional and heartfelt memories. The evening was filled with heartfelt speeches, delicious food, and non-stop dancing, making it a night to remember for all in attendance.
