To get to know Aspen and Matt a bit better visit Fat Cat Productions website at www.fatcatrocks.blogspot.com. They produced a Love Story for them documenting how they met and proposed-it is pretty cool and highly recommended of any bride to do a Love Story video!



Jeff and I started with Stephanie, of Fat Cat, at the Courtyard Marriot where Aspen and the ladies got ready on the top floor room #527. They had a stylist and make-up artist who traveled in from Liberal.



While we were documenting the ladies getting all dolled up Brett was at The Alley with Barry of Fat Cat, documenting Matt, his groomsmen, Dad and father in law getting into their tuxes before they hopped in the go carts for some racing!

Aspen had gotten all her bridesmaids (5 to be exact) pink bathrobes with their first initial embroidered on it to wear as they got ready. Aspen was wearing a white bathrobe and a white "A" embroidered on hers. The ladies all had a great time. Lunch was catered by Corporate Caterers consisting of sub sandwiches and chips. In between getting hair and make-up done Aspen said it was "Arts and Crafts Time". She had purchased stickers stating "OU" and "KU" on them. These stickers definitely had a meaning as the house of Matt and Aspen's will be House Divided. One side being all decorated in Oklahoma State (Aspen is an Okie) and the other University of Kansas (Matt was born and raised as a KU fan). This bucket was later going to be used at the end of the reception where the sparklers were going to be disposed of.



After most of the ladies were ready they went ahead to the Grand Chapel to finish getting ready by completing last details and putting on their dresses. Aspen's dress was timeless. It was a strapless gown with beaded sweetheart neckline and gathered taffeta skirting. The train was chapel in length and laced up the back. The brides maids wore apple red satin strapless ball gowns with pick-up detailing on the skirt and a black sash at the waist.



The ceremony had a mix of Police Officers and Scottish tradition all mixed into one beautiful ceremony. With Matt being part of the Police Department, the officers acted as ushers. When the wedding began Aspen was escorted by her father to see Matt, and by Scottish tradition a bagpiper preceded her. Some of the family also sported the traditional kilt and Scottish attire. Aspen along with her bridesmaids were barefoot during the ceremony. At the end of the ceremony Aspen was surprised by what Matt had secretly plotted. Just as they were announced as husband and wife, one of Matt's friends on the Police Department ran on stage and promptly handcuffed them together with laughter of the crowd in the background!

After the ceremony we finished up with photos and they were all announced downstairs to their reception by Ron Brown with Another Dimension. After dinner, toasts, and cutting of the cake, the couple had their first dance and the traditional parents dances. When the night came to a close the remaining guests formed a tunnel out of the chapel with sparklers as the couple ran through to a waiting antique black Oldsmobile.



It was a really fun day and it was hard to look back and believe that we actually made it through all 3 weddings in one weekend. They all were different and unique in their own way. That is what makes our job so much fun at each and every wedding that we do. We truly and honestly love what we do and it is priceless when all the brides come down the aisle and see their groom for the first time and tears of happiness stream down their faces. Or it might be a parent or grandmother. And it is all the time and effort that is put into a wedding with all the planning and the behind the scenes. We were very blessed this year to be able to meet and document the most amazing brides.

We want to thank Aspen and Matt for allowing us to document their wedding. Your honeymoon to Jamaica had to be incredible and if you have pictures to share please do! Keep in touch! You guys were awesome!

Tyff, Jeff and Brett
