We met online! For the first date, he picked me up, took me to my favorite restaurant, and then we went bowling. He proposed in August 2023. We were at Somerset KY for a Mustang (car) weekend. We went on a hike where the trail led to a waterfall. He proposed at the water wall. We chose East Tennessee because were already coming to Pigeon Forge for Ponies in the Smokies. We both have a Mustang and enjoy coming to the events during the week. We also both love the area! We plan to get married at the chapel then run off to celebrate at Dollywood! And then ponies in the smokies events after in the evening! The reason we chose the date is because 3/21. He’s a racer so it’s 3 2 1 like racing 🙂 We love our furbabies at home and enjoy doing Mustang events. Summer nights driving our mustangs to date nights- that’s our favorite time of year. We also enjoy going on cruises!!

They chose a stunning palette of black and blush fabric to set a moody and romantic atmosphere, perfectly reflecting the depth and richness of their journey together.

Dave looked dashing in jeans paired with a crisp white shirt, black jacket, and a classic bolero tie, embodying a relaxed yet refined style.

From the Bride:
We met in 1999 when I was at his house with his roommate while she was checking her email, he walked in from the gym and his arms were popping! The next day, his roommate ask me if I would go on a double date with him, his friend and her. I thought she was interested in him, so I turned him down at first, but she mentioned she wanted to meet his friend. As soon as I realized he wanted me to be his date, I quickly changed my answer to Yes!
We actually hung out at Dave’s house and watched Tombstone a few days before our first date so his roommate and friend could get acquainted. We hit it off, and they didn’t so our first date was solo. We went to State Street in Santa Barbara, CA.
I took Dave to the Bahamas for his birthday in 2003, and he pulled off the surprise of a lifetime. We were walking along the beach of our resort at sunset, and he started talking mushy, and I started crying happy tears just because of the things he was saying. I still didn’t know what was happening, but when he dropped down to his knee, I lost it… Of course I said Yes, and we have now been married for 20 years.
We are actually renewing our Vows after being married for 20 years. We had a family trip planned with our 4 grown children and their significant others, and we knew it would be the perfect time and place. We wrote our own vows this time around, so I am very excited to hear his and for him to hear mine… this is about reconfirming our love for one another, so not much else matters.
We enjoy spending time out by the pool, with family and friends in the summer, or being out on the lake. We enjoy bonfires year round, and in the winter we usually spend our time near the fireplace watching a new series on Netflix and waiting for it to warm back up. We love sporting events and concerts, and have recently begun traveling to spend time together. Our date nights usually consist of Mexican Food and late nights of handing out in front of a fire whether it’s inside or outside.

From the Bride:
We met at the golf course. He took me out on our first date for sushi and drinks one week after we met. He proposed. He took e to the jewelry store to pick out my ring! We chose East TN for our wedding because I love TN (I have traveled there many times), and Wesley has never been. I’m most looking forward to spending time in a beautiful place with our family. We chose the date because it is three days before his birthday. For fun, we like to go golfing, hang out with friends, go to the beach, and go to dinner at nice restaurants.

From the Bride:
Michael and I met on Bumble during the covid-19 pandemic. During a time of isolation my sister and I were swiping through bumble, mostly out of boredom, and Michael came across the screen. His profile was limited but something about it made me swipe right. We talked digitally during the pandemic and that was the beginning of our love story.
Again, it was pandemic era and we were kind of risking it just to meet. It’s not flashy but we got Applebees and ate it in a hotel room. He didn’t judge my picky eating or my choice of restaurant. He was kind and made me feel safe. Which is good, because in hindsight meeting a stranger at a hotel for a first date was probably not the best idea. But somehow I knew he was the one.
I was folding laundry in my pajamas with my hair in a knot and singing to our dog in the living room. And he for some reason thought that was the time to get down on one knee. I turned around, literally mid fold and he was proposing. He had been conspiring with my little sister as to when would be a good time and originally planned on taking me to the beach to propose. For some reason, he decided that there in our first home with our dog as the only witness was the time. It wasn’t public or extravagant but it was perfect for us.
We love the mountains and my fiancé doesn’t get to travel much because of his work schedule. We decided to carve out some time for us. I found this venue on Google and absolutely fell in love with its charm.
I’m most looking forwar to getting to officially be Mrs. Elkins and walk out together husband and wife. Also, the cake. We chose the date because I just like the flow of 3/12/24 and it’s during spring break and I’m a teacher.
We love movies, traveling, watching tv, hanging out with our families, and playing with our pets. My fiancé is a huge car buff and handyman. he is always fixing something or bringing home a new project. I collect books and cats.
