Weekend Micro Wedding

Halle and Brandon – February 23, 2024

The sun shone brightly on Halle and Brandon as they exchanged vows in a weekend micro wedding at Chapel in the Hollow. Opting for simplicity and elegance, they adorned the chapel with white fabric and our pristine white florals, creating a serene and beautiful setting for their special day.
Halle looked absolutely stunning in a long-sleeved lace dress with a flowing chiffon bottom with a heartfelt touch added by her grandmother who sewed a lace edge onto the dress. Her look was completed with a beautiful emerald necklace, a thoughtful gift from her bonus mama who also helped her get dressed. Brandon was the epitome of style in grey dress pants, a black dress shirt, and a grey vest, perfectly complementing Halle’s bridal elegance.
An emotional moment unfolded during their first look, as Halle gave her dad an embroidered handkerchief, moving him to tears with the gesture.  Brandon’s entrance was made special with his mom walking him down the aisle, while Halle’s dad proudly escorted her, marking the beginning of their journey together.
The joy and love didn’t just stop at the ceremony; afterward, Halle and Brandon played along with us for some fun and unique couple photos. Brandon nailed the “book boyfriend” doorframe lean, and Halle captivated in a stunning flying dress photo, both adding a playful and memorable touch to their wedding album.
Halle and Brandon’s wedding day was a testament to their love, beautifully simple yet profoundly meaningful. As they embark on this new chapter together, we wish them all the happiness and love in the world.
Congratulations, Halle and Brandon! May your lives together be as sunny and joyful as your wedding day.

From the Bride: 
We met through family friends. On the first date, there was an instant connection. He proposed on a horseback ride through the ocean off of Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Sarasota, Florida. We chose East Tennessee because I grew up going to Knoxville every summer for vacation with family. We are most looking forward to being married in front of God and our children. We chose the date because of our angel numbers. We love  to drink coffee, go on spur of moment adventures, travel, make memories as family, and make inside jokes.

From the Bride: 

I was introduced to Mike at the restaurant Mike was working at when my friend and I were ordering food. Surprisingly, my friend was actually dating one of his buddies at the time, and they properly introduced us to each other. The first date was more of like a small get together party at my place. We ended up Watching a movie, played some card games and just talked.

Mike proposed. We went to Florida on vacation with friends. Close to the last day we went to the beach an at sunset we all decided to do our family photos and During the photos he got down on one knee. I was completely surprised because this whole time I didn’t think he wanted to get married. Such a blissful moment that I will cherish forever.

I always wanted to get married in the mountains and my first choice was Colorado but once I seen the Chapel in the Hollow, I completely fell in love and knew that this was the place I wanted to say I do at no questions asked! I’m most looking forward to seeing the look on my grooms face when I walk down the aisle and finally uniting together as one legally. I do pray it snows on our wedding day. We think that would just be absolutely amazing.

We enjoy going out to eat with friends on the weekends, watching movies, trying new things, an vacationing. He is a big hunter an I recently got my hunting license to give that a try with him.

Here’s to Shelley and Mark — may your love continue to blossom and warm the coldest of days. Congratulations on your beautiful beginning.
From the Bride: 
We maintained a long distance relationship. He lived in South Carolina and I was in Texas. We traveled back and forth for approx a year and had many calls to each other during the day as well as facetime. We both knew from the beginning that we had found our person even though neither of us were looking.
The first date was amazing, we met up in Pigeon Forge, TN as I had never seen the Smoky Mountains. We spent our time sight seeing and enjoying local activities.
He proposed.
I had gone to visit him in South Carolina and we had planned to go see the Pretty Place Chapel because was on of the things on my bucket list. He wanted to make sure I got to see it while I was there. We made our way there and I was taking in all of the sights and beauty around us and he said, “do you want to see if we can get someone to take our picture together”?. So he found a girl to take our picture and then he told her, “can you take one more picture to be sure you got it”, and I turned to look at him and he was down on one knee in front of the large cross. I was speechless and so overcome with emotion. We talked all of the time about getting married one day, but he completely surprised me, as I had no idea he had planned this.
Tennessee is special to us as that’s where our journey really began.
I am most looking forward to seeing his reaction to seeing me in my dress.
