The next day Vivi and Erik had a western ceremony. Can you imagine…..2 dresses, 2 ceremony’s, 2 times to be the princess. Lauren returned to make Vivi shine again for this day. 
You can see Lauren applied a softer lip color and lighter eye tones of brown pinks and always a natural cheek. Vivi has beautiful thick hair so this soft low updo was the natural choice. The purple flower just adds the perfect touch.
Vivi and Erik were fortunate to have Erik’s father perform the ceremony. He is a Lutheran Minister in Madison Wi. This was very special for the couple and for Erik’s family.
Vivi told me a funny story. Erik called Vivi’s father to ask for her hand in marriage….a very American tradition. Her father was shocked since the only he understood how marriage worked, was the arrangement between two families, not the couple themselves. He told Erik he would have to think about it. He made Erik sweat for a week before he called with his permission. She is worth waiting for Erik!
I think this my favorite photo…there is nothing like a mothers love.
Vivi it was an incredable pleasure meeting you and helping you look even more beautiful…….
