The Big Surprise: Tiede Vow Renewal

Happy Friday! I’m so excited to share about this special surprise I was asked to take part in last week. I have known the Tiede family for a long time now, growing up in the same area and babysitting for them. So when Ernie asked me if I’d be interested in capturing a secret vow renewal that he was planning, I knew I had to say yes! I love surprises so this was right up my alley!

On Tuesday, June 26, Ernie & Kristan’s 14th anniversary, their family and friends met in a small local church. Ernie had thought of everything! He had bouquets ordered for his bride, their daughter, and the maid of honor. He had a new set of rings for Kristan, custom made to match the set from 14 years ago that had been lost. The kids were dressed up, the groom anxiously waiting for his bride to show up, and I was ready to capture it all!

When Kristan showed up, thinking she was meeting Ernie there to go for a nice dinner, she was so shocked to realize she was at her own wedding [again]. They renewed their vows, exchanged rings, and resealed their love with a kiss! What a special way to celebrate an anniversary! And way to go Ernie for pulling off such a big surprise that he had been planning for months!

Here’s to a lifetime of love and happiness Ernie & Kristan!
