Terri and Michael got married at St. Edwards Catholic Church across the street. A short walk/drive in their renovated classic Mustang brought them in style. Expressions in Bloom (Corvallis) did the flowers, Wind Dancer Photography were the photographers, Chelsea’s Country Kitchen did the hors’ d oeuvres and the couple provided the plentiful beverages. Friends cut and served the cake made by the Lovin Oven of Stayton. A relaxing honeymoon was in store for these two educators. Congratulations!
