A candlelit ceremony, mood lit ambience, colorful textures, and disco balls. That is how I would aesthetically summarize the Haberman's Omaha wedding day. The concept was brought to life by Unfolding Events, featuring velvety table clothes and wildflower embellishments from Petal Collective. Aesthetics aside, Ally and Riley remained present and grounded in their day - soaking in every moment and expressing every emotion. They are two fun-loving humans who were just as excited to celebrate their marriage as they were to have all of their favorite people in one room. But... they were also throwing a party, which got kicked off by their stop at Cham Pang Lanes for the best neon post-ceremony vibes you could ever ask for.
Ally is an enrolled descendant of the Menominee Tribe of Wisconsin and first generation descendant of the Mandan Hidatsa & Arikara Nation, so she incorporated traditional sacred medicines on the alter. I love it when wedding days are not only infused with personality, but the heritage and culture of a couple. Their ceremony passage was a poem written by indigenous poet Heid. E. Erdrich called Sovereign Love. It reads:
Sovereign Love
When I look upon the beloved, the real beloved, not the beloved of memoirs, made up in revenge, but the active generator of love, the love maker. When I when
When I look upon you.
Beloved, I might avert my gaze, let it stray only to your hands and then up to your throat. It is only in holding your eyes away from mine that I can stay sovereign in my love. It is only for you. Not from you. It is more than state or nation. This love is itself unto itself. The only name it needs it speaks within me. Call it what you will. It will answer.
