She wore a duchess satin column gown designed by Ulla Majia Couture and carried a spray of flowers that included two large white calla lilies representing the bride’s and groom’s deceased fathers. The seven bridesmaids wore navy strapless gowns with cream sashes by Alvina Valenta.
The reception was held in a loft space in downtown St. Louis. The couple danced their first song to Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” The wedding cake was quite a sight: a five-tier, round, light yellow creation with spun sugar calla lilies cascading up the side of the cake
The couple delayed their honeymoon until the August recess to accommodate the congressional schedule. Last month they traveled to England and Lithuania.
