Roni + Adam Wedding Film

Out at Silverwood Park in St. Anthony Village, tucked just outside Minneapolis, Veronica (Roni) and Adam’ people gathered close—family, friends, sisters, and a whole room (well… patio) full of folks ready to laugh, cry, and then immediately bust it down on the dance floor.

From the very beginning, the theme was clear: this wasn’t about a single “big moment.” This was about a life built from a million small ones—shared adventures, goofy jokes, steady support, and the kind of partnership that makes the ordinary feel romantic.

“Slow down. You’re here. You made it.”

Roni’s sister Tori and Adam’s sister Erica opened the ceremony with the kind of grounding every couple deserves. Before vows, before rings, before the “you may now kiss,” they invited everyone to pause and actually feel what was happening.

The reminder was simple and perfect:

You’re here. You’re together. You made it.

All the months of planning—decisions, tiny details, Roni’s planning binder—led to this. And in just a few minutes, their only job would be to celebrate.

A million small moments

Roni started her vows by saying she couldn’t point to one single moment when she knew Adam was it—it was a million small moments over time.

But she still told a story (because, as she said, you have to entertain the guests).

Early in their relationship, she tried to think of a good gift—something he’d actually use, and ended up choosing a National Park scratch-off map… only to discover Adam had already bought her the exact same thing.

Which is basically the most Roni-and-Adam detail imaginable: different brains, same dreams.

From there, she honored what she loves most about him:

He’s the person she has the most fun with
He’s steady—kind, consistent, always showing up
He loves through action
He thinks like a teammate, even when it’s inconvenient

And then, with the perfect comedic gut-punch, she quoted “one of the greatest poets of our generation” (Taylor Swift) with the line about wanting a best friend she thinks is hot—because that’s exactly what this felt like: friendship, attraction, partnership… all wrapped up in one.

The witness of a life

Adam’s vows were cinematic in the best way—like a highlight reel narrated by someone who genuinely notices the beauty in small things.

He reflected on their early days in the “Covid bubble”—bike rides across Minneapolis, recipes, TV shows, macaron batches (macaRONIs), and big travel dreams turning into real plans.

He talked about what it felt like to become a family: Tilly accepting him, buying their first home, Jasper sealing the deal.

And then he said something that landed hard:

He promised to be Roni’s witness.

That her life wouldn’t go unwitnessed—the good, the bad, the mundane, the exhilarating. That he’d hold her tight when things are good, and tighter when they aren’t.

That’s not just romance—that’s devotion.

His promises were vivid and specific: lilacs in spring, leaves in fall, cold winter days bundled up, long summer evenings, back rubs, being her cheerleader (the Travis to her Taylor), putting “us” first, gossiping more, never stopping improving, never stopping loving.

And he ended it the only way that felt possible:

“I love you infinity times infinity times infinity…”

Reception Toasts: The People Who Shaped Them

The toasts were equal parts heartfelt and hilarious—exactly their speed.

Adam’s dad took us back to the kayak date and the leap into van life with Pearl, admitting he had doubts at first but watching them grow stronger through it. Campfires, UTV chaos, “macaroni” jokes, and Taylor Swift included—his advice was simple: keep the adventure alive and keep choosing each other.

Roni’s dad toasted everyone in the room before landing on what mattered most—that Roni and Adam are already living something charmed. The house, the road trip, the way they’ve built a life that just works.

Burke compared marriage to a canoe partner: calm water is easy, headwinds aren’t. You need someone steady, communicative, reliable. Watching them, he said, it’s obvious—they are.

And Tori closed it out with sister stories, Taco Bell runs, and Mary Oliver’s reminder of a “wild and precious life,” sending them off the only way that made sense:

Now go party.
