A guy and a girl walk into a bar. For Robyn Goldman and Jordan Witkov, it’s not the beginning of a joke; it’s their love story! Fast-forward three-and-a-half years: Jordan had a creative proposal plan. The Bride Robyn Goldman, 30, cardiac technologist The Groom Jordan Witkov, 29, gallery owner The Date June 7 A few months earlier, Jordan had commissioned Robyn’s favorite designer to make sweater-doll versions of him and their dog. The night before Thanksgiving, Jordan told Robyn to meet him at his gallery. When she arrived, Jordan asked if she could grab something out of the closet on the lower level. She saw the sweater dolls on a chair with one addition -- a doll of Robyn, holding a purse and wearing an engagement ring. The real ring was inside the purse with a note attached.

The potted sunflowers from the ceremony doubled as table centerpieces in the rustic reception room.
To match Robyn’s bouquet, Jordan and his groomsmen each wore two mini sunflowers on their lapels.
Robyn carried a bouquet of sunflowers wrapped in white fabric to complement her gown.
Robyn hates cake, so she and Jordan had a wedding pie. The cartoon-like monkey toppers were personalized with sunflowers and a blue-and-yellow-striped tie, like the one Jordan wore.
To go with their sunflower theme, the couple’s invites were printed on cotton fiber paper embedded with flower seeds. Guests could plant them after the wedding.
The couple’s calligrapher wrote guests’ names and table numbers in a casual font, fitting the laid-back wedding vibe.
The flower girl carried sunflowers, of course, in a faded-wood basket decorated with brown ribbon.
Natural light shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows for the couple’s morning ceremony. Sunflowers added color along the aisle.

Robyn’s bridesmaids wore yellow sundresses that were as casual as the groomsmen’s seersucker suits.
