Christina and Lisa met and fell in love while singing together in the same choir. For their proposal Lisa set up a scavenger hunt for Christina. Christina followed countless clues from location to location until the final clue revealed an engagement ring \u2014 and proposal!<\/p>\n

The luxurious atmosphere of the historic Grand Island Mansion set a splendid backdrop for Christina and Lisa\u2019s 1920s themed wedding. The couple knew a themed wedding would suit their personal taste and mutual love of the Great Gatsby as well as the Titanic. The ceremony was held on the lawn, accompanied by a harpist and classical guitar. Guests arrived dressed to impress, as they wore beading, glitz and accessories that mimicked the flapper-themed dress code. Lisa wore a white tuxedo with custom black accents, while Christina donned a fitted gown with ornate pearl adornments and a corseted bodice. Centerpieces were DIY\u2019d from wine bottles, pearls and ostrich feathers to add ornate flair to the vintage spaces. The couple also designed their own casino speakeasy club reception, where their 100 wedding guests gambled at different tables and enjoyed lighthearted debauchery.<\/p>
