In an idyllic midsummer’s day dream come true, Michelle exchanged vows with the ravishing Jack Leius. The Minnesota lovebirds decided to keep it 100% homey, choosing the stunning glass laden Woodland Glasshaus at Bavaria Downs in Chaska, Minnesota, as their wedding wonderland. Rumor has it (wink, wink, People Mag), this joyous jamboree saw approximately 200 guests reveling within a breathtaking glass atrium parked beneath the ethereal charm of lush trees.
Oozing with post-wedding euphoria, Michelle quipped, “We’ve been riding a tsunami of emotions, and from the kind of gleeful smiling happening, we may be in for permanent cheek cramps as a party favor. But hey, it’s all worth it!” Talk about love-struck!
For her transformation into a ravishing bride, our “almost-the-one” from season 25 of ‘The Bachelor’ and the unforgettable lead Bachelorette of season 18 donned a white custom-designed gown from Anne Barge. Think classic appeal meets meticulous detailing—the kind of wedding dress vibe worthy of endless Pinterest boards. Her bridesmaids complemented her bridal glow wearing chic black numbers.
Talking about her bridal inspiration, Michelle shared, “What enchanted me was the classic feel of the gown, the dedication, and the intimacy that the team poured into creating this dress. From uncountable meetings to countless flights for fittings—can’t believe it’s turned the whole wedding prep saga into a waterfall of magical memories.”
The radiant groom, Jack Leius, serenaded his way to the altar with the sweet sounds of “Lovers and Friends” by Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz featuring Usher and Ludacris serenading his stride. And that’s not all, folks. They even playfully determined who would unveil their handwritten vows first via a quick round of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Could they get any cuter?
Post their magical “I Do’s”, Jack couldn’t hold back gushing about his stunning bride: “Michelle’s aura reels you in. Her infectious smile, hearty laugh, and her magnetic personality go beyond captivating.” He further added to his heart-eyed sentiments, “And the way she exudes confidence as she saunters her way through every life twist, strikes all the right chords.”
Michelle didn’t hold back on the mush either. Speaking of her darling groom, she said, “Jack has this heart-stirring knack for seeing only the light in everyone and never holding back when lending a helping hand. He’s my safe haven for confiding and the perfect partner for our shared fun escapades. He’s essentially my PIC (Partner in Crime).”
Mike Sherels, Jack’s former University of Minnesota football coach, led the ceremony, while his twin pixie-like daughters Lyla and Cecilia had everyone go ‘aww’ as the flower girls. So here’s raising a toast to our radiant newlyweds. May your love story sweetly continue, Michelle and Jack!
