Destination Christian Wedding – Autumn and Cody

Destination Christian Wedding

Autumn and Cody – August 11, 2024

Autumn and Cody’s destination Christian wedding at Chapel in the Hollow was a heartfelt celebration of love and faith, beautifully accented by their journey all the way from Texas. The chapel was elegantly adorned in white fabric and complemented by our delicate white florals, creating a serene and sacred setting for their vows. 
Autumn’s mom played a special role, not only helping her get ready but also handcrafting all of the stunning handheld and worn florals for the wedding, from the bouquets to the boutonnieres. Autumn looked absolutely radiant in a sleeveless dress adorned with intricate embroidery, perfect for her big day. 
Before the ceremony, Autumn and Cody shared a touching first look, a moment of joy and anticipation beautifully captured in the tranquil surroundings of the chapel. Her dad not only walked her down the aisle but also gave a heartfelt blessing on the ceremony, adding a deeply personal touch to their special day. 
The ceremony included unique elements such as a flower girl and ‘ring security,’ bringing smiles and a hint of playfulness to the proceedings. They also incorporated a cord of three strands ritual into their ceremony, symbolizing the strength of their bond with God at the center—a beautiful reflection of their commitment to each other and their faith. 
Congratulations, Autumn and Cody! Your wedding was not just a union of hearts but a celebration of family, creativity, and faith. As you embark on this new journey together, we wish you all the happiness, love, and blessings life can offer. 
From the Bride 
We met in 2017 through a friend while we were in high school. Shortly following us becoming friends our first date was the day after my 16th birthday in January of 2018. We talked about our futures and knew that we wanted each other in it. After high school graduation, Cody went into the workforce and Autumn went to college. Throughout this time, we supported each other and continued to grow inside our relationship. 
We decided to take a summer road trip in 2023. We adventured our way to 4 corners and explored all 4 states. While we were hiking in the Arches National Park we found a cave. That’s where he asked me if I saw something in the cave and told me to look at what he saw. I ran in and he did not follow. When I turned around, he was down on one knee and asked me to marry him.
We wanted a small intimate ceremony where we could put God first. This chapel and the photographer were exactly what I wanted. 
On our wedding day I look forward to being surrounded by our closest friends and family as we celebrate the beginning of our union.
