Bohemian East Tennessee Elopement – Becky and Bill
Bohemian East Tennessee Elopement
Becky and Bill – May 6, 2025
Becky and Bill brought all the carefree, boho energy to their bohemian East Tennessee elopement at Chapel in the Hollow, and we were so here for it!
They dressed the chapel in dreamy white and gold fabric with our bohemian florals for a vibe that was laid-back, stylish, and full of heart.
Becky wore a short white lace dress paired with a tan vest and the cutest whimsical jewelry—boho goddess vibes all the way. Bill rocked jeans, a golden yellow buckskin vest, and a cowboy hat that tied the whole look together.
They walked hand-in-hand down the cobblestones to the soft scent of honeysuckle and the morning chorus of birdsong—literal forest fairytale magic.
They exchanged matching wooden wedding bands, and after their sweet ceremony, we adventured around the property for couple photos at the creek, the vintage truck, and the field with that epic Smoky Mountain backdrop.
From the Bride
We met online, and it began with a simple “Becky, would you like to chat”? I wasn’t expecting it to turn into “I do,” but something about him made me say, “I’d love to.” That message turned into daily conversations, sometimes hourly. He was thoughtful, a little shy, and seemed to love the same things I did: nature, the countryside, and a quiet kind of life.
Our first in-person meeting was over coffee, where we talked for hours. We continued the conversation over pizza, and then for hours more once we each got home. A few days later, we had our official first date on Valentine’s Day. We couldn’t stop talking. He shared his stories (he has plenty) and truly listened to mine. Soon after, he sent me a poem. In it, he imagined me as his wife. I laughed, cried a little, and loved it. I think that was the moment I knew—this man wasn’t just looking for someone. He was looking for me.
Six weeks later, we moved in together. When you’ve lived enough life, you don’t waste time second-guessing something that feels right. That was six years ago, and now we’re ready to make it official.
There was no down-on-one-knee moment—just a quiet question one day: “Do you think you’d ever want to get married?” That was almost two years ago. We never rushed. We already felt like a team. Now it’s time to put a ring on it.
We’ve always been drawn to peaceful places full of beauty and quiet. The Smoky Mountains seemed like the perfect setting for both a wedding and a honeymoon. When we found your place, everything clicked.
We’re excited to become husband and wife—not because we need to prove anything, but because we want to honor what we’ve built together.
We love sitting by a fire, wandering through nature, and talking about everything and nothing. Our home is tucked away in the hills, surrounded by wildlife, views, and peace. Even in retirement, we always work on something—fixing, building, improving. We spend time with the kids and grandkids, take Ralph, our dog, on long walks, and live life one moment at a time.
Two people who found each other at just the right moment and couldn’t be more grateful.
