Michelle & Tony’s Winter Wedding on a Family Farm

Michelle and Tony’s winter wedding on Tony’s family farm was the perfect mix of cozy and chic. From warm Christmas-inspired decor with candles and twinkling white lights to personal touches that reflected their journey together, their day was a celebration filled with meaning and style. Here’s a look at their story and the unforgettable moments from their day.


How Michelle and Tony Met

It all started at the Lodi fair in 2014, where Michelle and her friend were having a good laugh at Tony’s mullet—a fair tradition among his group of friends. What began as teasing turned into an instant connection. They found themselves back at the fair the next night, where the attraction between them was undeniable.

From that moment on, they didn’t stop spending time together. As Michelle put it, “We just never stopped hanging out.”


The Proposal

Tony popped the question in a way that was uniquely them. During one of their regular walks on the land they rent, he had spray-painted “Marry Me?” on the side of a hill they frequently pass. As they rounded the corner, Tony stopped their dog, Kolby, and dropped to one knee, pulling out flowers he’d hidden in the cornfield earlier. It was sweet, personal, and so Tony and Michelle.


Favorite Wedding Day Moments

Their wedding day on Tony’s family farm was nothing short of magical. The warm Christmas theme made the chilly Wisconsin winter feel inviting, with Christmas trees, candles, and soft white lights creating the coziest atmosphere. The black-and-white decor added a modern edge, while custom cocktails gave the celebration a personal touch.

And you can’t forget Kolby, their beloved dog. He definitely stole the show with his handsome outfit, and he even started talking during Michelle and Tony’s vows, which was ADORABLE!


A Day to Remember

Michelle and Tony’s wedding was a beautiful reflection of their journey—from a chance meeting at the Lodi fair to a heartfelt proposal and a winter wedding surrounded by family and friends. Congratulations, M+T! We loved capturing these favorites.
