Allyson and Jason joined us on this cold, drizzly day for their rainy mountain elopement. She said being a teacher has caused her to become a bargain hunter, and she found a great deal on this gorgeous dress from Shein!! Jason surprised her with this beautiful wedding ring set, and we think he did a great job picking it out. She looked so lovely, and they were super cute together! Congratulations, Allyson and Jason!

From the Bride:

I tried to write a cute story about how Jason and I met, but we met at Chuck-E-Cheese (at a friend I’m no longer friends with daughter’s birthday), so that was no good. 😉 So I decided to write it my way…. 

Football. Coffee. The smell of a fire burning. Friends. Family. A good laugh. That’s about all we have in common. I could care less about plans, and he is pretty organized at all times. I’m a mess-maker.  Organized-chaos is my middle name. And that’s just a couple of our differences.  Oh, and okay, I can’t say he doesn’t plan, he will plan a fishing trip at a moment’s notice. I’m also convinced he plans ways to annoy me. For example, a month before the wedding I ask him what he is planning to wear. His answer was “overalls and my work boots.” I respond, “ You don’t have enough chest hair for that.” He says, “I’m wearing a shirt underneath.” It’s that constant annoyance by him and all we’ve been through and came out on top of (a whole lot of things these past three years that should have torn us apart) that  make me proud to call this man my husband in this beautiful place. The truth is, he’s never been to the Smokies and I came several times as a kid so it’s special because of that. My kids love him. It doesn’t hurt that his kids love me. I’m looking forward to a wonderfully imperfect life together from this day forward as husband and wife (I knew it would get sappy at some point). If you happen to read this… I love you Jason so very much babe. Thanks for putting up with me forever.

Don’t worry about less than perfect weather. A rainy mountain elopement can create just as beautiful photos as blue skies. If you want to start planning your wedding today, check out our calendar to see if we have your date available.

Mountain elopements are so much fun! Rebekah and Justin joined us for their elopement today in between the rain showers. These two were the sweetest!! They snuck away from the kids and their families and friends to the Smoky Mountains to say their vows surrounded by nature. Congratulations, Rebekah and Justin!!

From the Bride:

So funny but I worked with his mom (we are nurses) and after a LONG time we became friends on Facebook. We messaged back and forth on a few different occasions then one day we just messaged all day long, then the next day, and the next day until we finally had a date!

Stars had to align! We have 3 kids (him 2 and me 1 which we have full custody of) so finding a day that would work for our first date just sorta fell into place. He says it was love at first sight since we drink the same pop and I ate all his snacks! Actually, we both did not want the date to end and when he dropped me off he was asking to plan date number two.

Justin proposed, and he could not wait any longer so on Christmas eve he asked if I wanted a present early. I was in shock when he pulled out a ring box and asked “you want to wear this?”

We chose East Tennessee because it is close to home so we could elope. We are most looking forward to the fact that it will be just the two of us! 

We love to do anything together: fishing, ride ATV’s, just country road car rides, camping, lake life, wagon rides (yes we have a wagon team), and being in our new dream home together.

Nicole and John joined us on February 6th after 10 beautiful years and 2 children together to make their family official in a winter micro wedding. She looked oh so gorgeous in her long sleeved dress, and he kept it casual with jeans and a leather jacket. She got the most beautiful rose bouquet from Cupid’s Petals Florist that was the perfect complement to winter’s colors. When he first saw her in all her glory, he broke down for a beautiful moment, and we were lucky enough to catch it on camera. Congratulations, Nicole and John!

From the Bride:

John and I met in high school. Our first date was a lot of smiles and giggles ( we were kids). John proposed he took me to look at Christmas lights, and under this beautiful lit tree, he asked me to marry him.

We decided on East Tennessee for our wedding because it is beautiful- we are from Florida so it is a change in scenery for sure! We try to come every year on vacation. We are most looking forward to being with each other and our children.

For fun, we like to spend time together with our kids at home.
