Destination Elopement in East Tennessee

Tina and Curtis – August 11, 2024

Tina and Curtis’s destination elopement at Chapel in the Hollow was a picture of elegance and heartfelt emotion. They beautifully dressed the chapel in white and cream fabrics, setting a serene backdrop that was gracefully enhanced by our lavender florals.

Tina looked stunning in a sleeveless, soft, flowy dress, complemented by an elegant upswept hairdo that added a touch of sophistication to her bridal look. Curtis was dashing in a classic grey suit, embodying timeless style.

Adding a unique touch, Tina brought along some gorgeous dark florals, which provided a striking contrast to the light and airy decor of the chapel. Curtis’s anticipation to see Tina walk down the aisle was palpable, and when the moment came, his joy and emotion filled the chapel.

Throughout the ceremony, their interactions were sweet and sprinkled with humor, showcasing their personalities and the deep bond they share as a mature couple. Their laughter and loving glances made it clear that this was not just a union of hearts but of souls ready to continue their journey together.

Congratulations, Tina and Curtis! Your elopement was not just a celebration of love but a testament to the joy and companionship that you bring to each other’s lives. Here’s to many more years of happiness and laughter together!

From the Bride

We met online through the Facebook dating app. For our first date we met at The Cake Bake Shop in Carmel and had lunch and of course their amazing cake! We talked for a very long time at the restaurant which was just a continuation of the many long hours of conversation by phone and text we had prior to our official first meet. It was a very cold day in January and the roads were very slick. We made the decision that I should stay overnight at Curtis’s house. And the rest is relationship history!

Curtis proposed to me after only 2 months together. I’d like to say it was a surprise but it wasn’t. We knew from almost the beginning of our relationship that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. He had decorated his home with rose pedals and candles. He made me keep my eyes closed as he lead me to his living room where he got down on one knee and asked me a question that he already knew the answer to.

We decided to get married in East Tennessee because of the beauty of the mountains along with the rustic landscape. Curtis and I are most looking forward to becoming a married couple. It wasn’t enough for us to only be living together partners. There isn’t any significance to the date we chose. It just worked for our schedule.

We like to experience different types of cuisine. We enjoy going to concerts and exploring new areas that neither of us have been to in our home state, Indiana. Typical date night would be dining out or exploring new shops. We even like to do something as simple as getting ice cream at Dairy Queen.
