Last Saturday, Hilary and Andrew got married at The Plank Road Tap Room in Elgin. It was such a sweet and cozy celebration with all their loved ones. The venue was just perfect with its rustic charm and made for such a lovely setting for their special day. Hilary and Andrew put so much thought and care into every detail, from the gorgeous flowers to the personal touches that really reflected their personalities.
