There was no need for decorations at the wedding ceremony. The Air Force Academy Chapel provided a spectacular backdrop for the couple as they exchanged vows. The bride and groom exited the chapel beneath The Arch of Sabers, a long-standing military tradition.

The escort cards were a DIY project for the couple. To display the classic white cards, they popped the mirror out of a large wooden frame and replaced it with a piece of foam board covered in blue fabric. Shannon glued a small royal blue flower bead behind the head of each pin holding up the cards.

The couple spotted their buttercream cake in a magazine and fell in love with it instantly. The topper and decorations were made out of paper and assembled by hand. The tiers were made up of two flavors: grand marnier with a candied citrus creme filling, and chocolate sponge cake with a dark chocolate mousse filling.
