This weekend, my girlfriend Heather (HK) and I had the pleasure of attending our dear friend Jennifers' wedding. It took place on Saturday evening out at Powell Gardens (Kingston, MO) in the chapel on the grounds. The wedding was set to start at 8pm - right before sunset - and it was the most elegant yet simple wedding I have ever been to. For anyone in KC that will be planning a wedding in the future, you must consider this place (hint hint to Meghan :)
For those of you who live in the KC area and have never been to Powell Gardens, I highly suggest you take an afternoon and go. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the chapel alone is worth the trip! If you love gardening and enjoy nature then the drive out there is a must! 
The ceremony lasted about 30 minutes and then we all headed to the reception, which was also held on the grounds. When we walked in, I first noticed the cake - which is the best part of any wedding if you ask me! It was beautifully done with a gorgeous topper and I was amazed at how tall it stood! The picture just doesn't do it justice! During the evening, we enjoyed complimentary wine & beer and dined on shrimp, meatballs, chicken, toasted ravioli, as well as an assortment of cheeses, veggies, fruit, crackers, etc. It was yummy! Next it was time for wedding cake and let me tell you, Jen & Jason's cake didn't disappoint! It was a super moist vanilla with an almond flavored icing and they served huge pieces - which I was thankful for :) Nothing worse than getting a tiny sliver of wedding cake!
We enjoyed the evening with a few of our co-workers and managed to steal the bride away for a picture of the MAHI crew as well as a "BFF" photo:
