On August 13th, Shawn and Colleen Lippert tied the knot. But instead of eloping to Vegas as originally planned. Shawn decided that his bride deserved more than just a night in Vegas… Operation White Cake was a complete success. Video coming soon!

That was really cool and original. I wish you two the best!
So Romantic and stress free for the bride.
I have a tiny advice to Shawn: be careful you can not plan her life eventhough you think you know what she likes. If you love someone set him free…
All the best to you two.

I just saw the news in the Toronto Star and had to check out your video. Shawn, you are awesome…you should be hired as a major event coordinator! What a romantic (albeit risky) adventure. Congratulations to you both and may every day of your marriage bring awesome and wonderful surprises.
beautiful story – so much love – congrats! wishing much joy and happiness – a star reader
Wish you guys lots of Happiness in the future and congratulations.
Shawn you’re the man!!
Congratulations-Blessings on your both!
What an AMAZING story!! I saw the two of you on the Early Show and just had to watch your video. Congrats to the both of you, may you have a lifetime full of happiness and more “surprises” for you Colleen! Shawn, the world needs more men like you! Shelby In Missouri 🙂
OMG! This was amazing and very smooth!! I LOVE her wedding dress. Where did she get it??? I need a similar style for my wedding 🙂
I got it at SOPHIES on jefferson and Tecumseh in Windsor. Give them a call.
Just saw this! Thanks!!! I wonder if they ship. I live in GA. Last question I promise. What silhouette/style would you call that? I can’t quite pinpoint how to explain that dress to someone at local shops here to find something similar.
I’d say a pragraph of things already said. You know what you mean to me. And if you don’t, get a clue. Absolutely amazing. No one holds a candle to this. God Is Good. 200x Congrats. (cant believe she was doing the hands & toes of the ladies attending her wedding. Thats what gets me the most honestly =) Remain Blessed.
All I can say is AWESOME!! That was so romantic and I truly hope for the both of you many, many happy years together.
I loved everything about this. Shawn is deserving of every accolade that could be heaped on a groom, and more, but I was also really impressed and touched by Colleen’s reactions. She’s the one who was surprised, unprepared, and in reaction mode (with a camera pointed her way no less!) and she came across like the kind of woman any man would be inspired to go way out of his way for. I see a life of continued happiness ahead for you both.
I sent a link to friends telling them that if they felt like laughter with happy tears, your video did it for me . . .
This is the best wedding video ever! Congratulations to you both. I’m a guy and I don’t cry at weddings but this even made me tear up! I wish everyone loved each other like this. You pulled it off Shawn! It was great and Colleen, you looked beautiful!
That was amazing! Good job, Shawn!
That is so beautiful!!! I heard you guys on the Bert Show and I couldn’t wait to see Operation White Cake! Congrats!!!
Congratulations to you both! This was beautiful and thank you so much for sharing it. When it seems like the world is full of bad news, it’s nice to hear of something like this. God Bless you both and may you have many, many happy years together.
Congradulations! I saw a quick peice about the wedding on the Inside Edition TV show here in Washington, DC and wanted to find out more. A few videos later, I knew I had to share your romantic heartwarming story in my Column and on my face book. http://woodbridge-va.patch.com/articles/groom-raises-the-bar-on-surprise-wedding
PS: I would love to see links to TV shows & articles about the wedding on this site.
We are going to do our best to archive as much as we can. We have only been married now for about 7 days. And the entire time we have been doing tv interviews, radio and magazines. We literally just got in the door tonight about 2 hours ago. We havent seen any of the coverage. It was too fast and we were in the moment. But as soon as I can catch my breathe… we will document the week for sure.
Congratulations from California! What a wonderful story. At first, when I only saw the headline, I thought “uh oh, that’s kind of controlling and she’ll be mad that she wasn’t able to plan anything…” But then of course watched the whole event and it brought me to tears. Sooo perfect. For Shawn to have asked questions for a year and put it all together…so incredibly thoughtful. And I LOVE moving her whole bedroom.. that was so understanding of how we women think, “I’ve got to have…” something that you might have forgot, so just put the whole bedroom set there! Too funny. One question: What song is it playing in the background? It’s familiar but I’m not sure what it is…so beautiful.
I just heard this on a AM640 – Roy Green replay in Toronto.
What a truly amazing story!!!
I thought I was a romantic but you take the “white” cake..
I wish you both true happiness and success in your life.
Thank you for renewing my faith in love!!
Cheers!!
Kevin
I hope she put out after all that effort!!! 😉
That’s incredibly tacky. They’ve been together 7 years and are in love. Grow up.
Absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! I love seeing the creativity, the romance but I think it also speaks to the measure of love between the two of you! While a wedding is incredibly special, no doubt – it really isn’t about that one day. It is about communicating with and listening to eachother each day. It seems that you’ve both worked on this skill and the beautiful wedding is just one example of how well you do that! Congratulations. I’m so glad to see great things happening in Essex County!

Just like everyone else, the sentiments in this video reduced me to tears.
Shawn, you’re a remarkable gentleman to have patiently planned this wedding over the course of a year, including all the details that Colleen mentioned she wanted. You are thoughtful and courageous.
Colleen, I’m sure your easy going nature made this day memorable for everyone who attended as well as all those who watched the video. Your willingness and enthusiasm to blindly follow Shawn’s plans demonstrates a great level of trust and care between you two.
Gavin, thanks so much for capturing this day for your friend. This insane idea must have been just as fun to film as it was heart-warming for us to watch.
Thanks. 🙂
