Molly Feigel & Andrew Daniels
August 17, 2024 | Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art | Cameron and Elizabeth Photography
Molly and Andrew are a blind date success story! They were set up by their mutual friends during the pandemic, and these friends ended up being a part of their wedding party.
Molly and Andrew often joke that their relationship mirrors Kacey Musgraves’ song, “Slow Burn.” They believe this reflects their gradual love story, characterized by a consistent and deepening affection for one another over time.
“[I realized I loved him] through all the little moments,” Molly said. “Seeing him consistently show up for me and always be the shoulder to cry on.”
Andrew proposed at Crystal Bridges, where the couple eventually tied the knot. She had been begging Andrew to go to the museum for months, as they had spent so much of their relationship together at the popular Bentonville attraction. Andrew popped the question among the holiday lights, and she tearfully said yes.
“After the proposal, he arranged a dinner with both of our families, and the next day, [threw] a surprise party with all of our friends at the Welcome Inn in Rogers,” she said. “The whole weekend felt like a Hallmark movie!”

Q&A
Q: What was your vision for the wedding day?
A: “Crystal Bridges has a way of making you feel outside with the large windows and wooden ceiling beams,” Molly said. “I wanted to bring in those outdoor elements with all the luxuries of being indoors—especially given it was August in Arkansas.”
Q: What was your favorite moment of the day?
A: “I know it’s cheesy, but having everyone I love together in one room was my favorite part. I’m an only child, so family is super important to me, and I consider my friends family as well. It was just so special to have everyone from different walks of life there to celebrate Andrew and me.
Q: Is there a personalized detail you loved most?
A: “My 96-year-old grandmother is my role model and one of the most important women in my life,” Molly said. “I took the embellishments from her hat that she wore at her wedding and used them on the ribbon of my bouquet. It was so special, and I loved getting to show her how I incorporated it on the wedding day.”
Garden Party Inspiration
“I wanted an elevated garden party,” Molly said. “Inviting, yet classy. I think bringing in the fun elements with the florals, lamps and macaroon cake did just that!”
Chinoiserie & Ginger
“I love color and knew I didn’t want to stray away from it. I started the process using a lot of blues, but after choosing my invitations, I knew we had to pull in more of a Kelly-green color,” Molly said. “I definitely got a lot of inspiration from chinoiserie and ginger jars, too.”
