The wedding and reception of Malia Burkhart and Mark Hatem photographed Saturday, April 1, 2017 (April Fools!) at the Vault in downtown Columbus, Ohio.  This was a wonderful wedding, and other than the main vendor – NONE of the family knew that this was a wedding – everyone had been told that it was an engagement party – but APRIL FOOLS! its a wedding.

Malia is a stewardess and Mark is a pilot, hence the day was wonderfully themed with an aviation bent.

The day started with the immediate family arriving, for what they thought, was to decorate the venue, but SURPRISE! it was already done – so lets have a rehearsal instead. :-).

Gifts for the groomsmen included custom made wooden boxes and wooden bow ties made by the groom.

A first look was planned for the early afternoon, and then guests started arriving for a 5 PM ceremony.

The ceremony started with Mark riding a self-made toy airplane down the aisle.
