Beauty and the Beast Inspired Ceremony

Amber and Ryan joined us for an outdoor Beauty and the Beast inspired ceremony. They dressed the chapel in white fabric with no florals. She had on a flowy white dress, and her mom made all of the florals. They had the most adorable Belle as their flower girl with some sweet red roses. They performed a family unity candle ceremony which was super cute! Congratulations, Amber and Ryan!!

From the Bride:

We met in a parking lot and he looked familiar to me from Facebook, so I stopped him and asked him about it. We really didn’t go on a real first date. We just started hanging out and the rest is history. For a proposal, I mentioned marriage and he said that’s something he would like to do, so we started looking at planning things. We decided on East Tennessee, because we already had a family vacation planned. I thought it would be neat to do a small destination wedding with just family. We are looking forward to the thrill of being about to say our vows in front of everyone and combining our families into one. For fun, we like to travel, cook out, Netflix and chill!

Woodsy Sunflower Vow Renewal – Lisa and Doug

06.18.22

Lisa and Doug – May 31, 2022

Woodsy Sunflower Vow Renewal

Lisa and Doug joined us with their two children for a woodsy sunflower vow renewal. They not only celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary, but they also decided to rededicate themselves to one another! They dressed the chapel in white and gold with our sunflower florals. She was gorgeous in a pale gold glittery dress, and he was suave and sophisticated in his khakis and suit jacket. Her son walked her down the aisle, and both children stood up to witness their parents make their vows. Congratulations, Lisa and Doug!!

From the Bride:

We met each other in high school through mutual friends and have been inseparable ever since. Yes we are high school sweethearts. We have been together since 1990!!! Our first date was on a church dinner for Valentine’s Day. Doug proposed to me. He took me out to eat at the Beechwood restaurant and when I was not looking he hung my engagement ring on the tail of the fried shrimp on my plate. I was completely shocked. We eloped in Pigeon Forge 25 years ago so it was only fitting to re-new our vows on our 25th wedding anniversary in TN along with our two children. We are looking forward to renewing our vows with both of our children there to witness the love that we still have for each other. We were married on May 31st 1997 so we wanted to renew our vows on the same day. We love sitting on the patio and just relaxing after a long day of work. Here we are able to discuss each others day and plans for the evening. We love attending all of our children’s sporting and band events although that is coming to an end now. We also like to go four wheeler riding on the creeks of his grandmothers property. My husband also loved to hunt in the winter and we garden together in the spring.

Simple Country Wedding – Jennifer and Ronald

Jennifer and Ronald – May 28, 2022

Simple Country Wedding

Jennifer and Ronald joined us for a simple country wedding. They dressed the chapel in white and gold with our sunflower florals. Their first look was so adorable, and we loved when all the kiddos got up to take a picture with her. Congratulations, Jennifer and Ronald!!

From the Bride:

We met when I worked at a gas station in Dover, Ohio. He was staying in the hotel behind my station. He would come in everyday to buy lottery tickets after work. He would give me tips when he would win. He would ask me to hang out or my number, and I didn’t give in, till 1 day I gave him my number and he called me. He was leaving to go back to his hometown and he wanted me to see where he lived. Took me to Parkersburg, West Virginia for our first date.

He proposed back in 2007, I didn’t want to get married at that time. We dated for 4 1/2 years and went our separate ways. In 2020 he called when he was in Ohio for work and I went to see him. In July of 2021 he asked me to marry him. He made sure my kids approved and they were there on my deck when he got down on 1 knee and asked me to marry him. This time I was ready. I’m looking forward to being married to my best friend and having all our kids and family there.

For fun, we go out to eat every once in awhile. He still works all over the United States so just seeing him when I can. Just being together is always a new adventure.

Stress-Free Morning Micro Wedding – Lisa and Phil

06.09.22

Lisa and Phil – May 28, 2022

Stress-Free Morning Micro Wedding

Lisa and Phil wanted a simple stress-free morning micro wedding. They dressed the chapel in our sand and navy fabrics with the white florals. The sand almost matched her dress perfectly. They both teared up during their first look. She brought some super cute galoshes in case of rain so we had her put them on to play in the creek for a bit. Congratulations, Lisa and Phil!!

From the Groom:

We met at our local bar throwing darts. Our first date was a casual dinner and getting to know each other.

We are in a dart league together. The night of our end of season dart party I asked the owner to turn the attention to me after she presented awards. I pulled her to the middle of the group and as I bent down onto one knee I pulled the ring out and popped the question to her disbelief.

TN is the brides favorite place. She vacationed there with her family every year. So we decided East Tennessee for our wedding!

We are looking forward to becoming husband and wife and sharing the day with friends and family.

For fun we play in a dart league, and watch movies. Our typical date night is at Texas Roadhouse or our favorite Mexican restaurant in town.
