Rustic Barn on Bridge Wedding

Oct 7, 2021

Rustic Barn on Bridge Wedding.

The question is, can you keep up? Confused why I’m asking that to start my blog. You should be. The simple answer is Michael Saalfrank. Michael is one of the wittiest guys I know. Quick to make a joke.

Skilled at making anyone laugh.

But the trick about him is, he does it when you least expect it. To start, Michael is a pretty quiet, chill guy that just goes with the flow. But once he feels comfortable around you, he definitely lets his guard down! Then it’s joke after joke, and your cheeks just instantly start hurting from laughing so much! Then it will calm down for a little, until you least expect another to come again!

He definitely keeps you on your toes!

This theme came up several times throughout this rustic Barn on Bridge wedding day. I had witnessed a little of it at Leann and Mike’s engagement session, but that was only an hour and a half. Nothing compared to a full day of jokes with him. As soon as I walked in to the space he was getting ready at, he was cracking a joke with one of his groomsmen. Then throughout the day, several people warned me to watch out for him.

It even popped up in several of the toasts throughout the night.

But the person the warned me the most, was his now WIFE! Leann absolutely loves his sarcastic side, but she always makes sure to warn you that it’s coming! Mike knows how to always make Leann laugh!

It’s what makes their relationship so special!

He always does it for her. To see that smile come across her face is the thing that brings him joy each day. Like I mentioned, when you first meet Mike, he is somewhat shy, but it doesn’t take long for him to open up and make sure that Leann is always laughing. Their relationship is truly so special to watch! They know how to make each other laugh, but the best part is they also know how to be there for each other, and all the ones they love! So many times people brought up how thoughtful Leann and Mike are. Friends always know they can count on them. Family members always love having them around.

It is the perfect combination in a relationship!

Leann and Mike, it has been an honor to get to know the two of you! I can easily see those traits so strong in each of you! Even in the minimal amount of time we’ve had together. I am so honored to call you two friends and watch your marriage grow stronger each day! I have a feeling it is going to be a great one! Give all the hugs to the pups for me, and I can’t wait to see you two again soon! I’ll be ready for all the laughs. Until then, I hope you enjoy reliving your special day over and over again through some of my favorites belong!

XOXO ~ Heather Marie
