Midsummer Micro Wedding

Chloe and Brent – July 20, 2024

Chloe and Brent’s midsummer micro wedding at Chapel in the Hollow was a heartfelt celebration, beautifully personalized in every detail. They chose to dress the chapel in simple cream fabric, allowing their love and the vibrant summer greens, freshened by an earlier rain, to be the highlight of the decor.

Chloe’s creative touch shone through as she crafted their bouquets and boutonnieres, adding a personal and intimate element to their day. She looked absolutely stunning in an off-the-shoulder dress with a unique texture, complemented by a long split veil that flowed elegantly with every step. Brent looked sharp in a classic black suit, though his nerves were apparent, adding to the day’s emotional depth.

The day was filled with touching moments, starting with a first look with her dad, who couldn’t hold back tears at the sight of his daughter. Chloe and Brent then shared their own first look inside the bridal suite, where they both became visibly emotional, a testament to their deep connection and love.

Her dad walked her down the aisle, a proud and poignant moment, and Chloe got choked up as she said her vows, moved by the significance of the commitment they were making. The earlier rain left the surroundings lush and vividly green, enhancing the beauty and atmosphere of their special day.

Congratulations, Chloe and Brent! Your wedding was a perfect blend of simplicity and deep emotion, set against the lush backdrop of a rejuvenated summer landscape. Here’s to a life filled with as much love and beauty as your wedding day!

From the Bride

Brent and I met when I first started working at O’Charleys restaurant in January 2017. He had worked there previously and came into see some old coworkers. He was sitting at the bar talking to the bartender. I came up to the well to get a drink and he turned to me and said ” well hello! how are you?” I replied with ” I’m good, how are you?”. The bartender said, ” see this is why we like Chloe, she knows everyone!” I said ” oh I don’t know him, I was just being friendly.” As soon as I walked away I could see her talking to Brent. She later asked me if I had a boyfriend (I did not). I came back out to the well to get another drink and Brent said ” if you’re not busy later would you like to go get a drink with me?” I told him I was going back to Richmond where I lived to meet up with a friend later, but he was welcome to join us. He made the drive from Georgetown to Richmond only to get to the Paddy Wagon 20 minutes before it closed. He gave me and my friend a ride home after the bar closed. We ended up talking for 3 hours outside that night. Our first official date was at Palmers Fresh Grill, where Brent worked at the time. He introduced me to all his friends and coworkers. It was close to Valentines Day so we said it was in celebration of that. It was my first time eating in a more ” upscale” restaurant and I felt out of place for a bit. We then went to a local dive bar called Malibu Pub and stayed out talking until 3am.

Brent proposed while we were at Disney World. We got there on a Monday and he proposed on Wednesday. He was so nervous. I knew he was acting weird. He thought about proposing in one of the parks but didn’t want to draw a lot of attention to us and make us feel awkward. (I’m glad he didn’t). It was about 7 am, still in bed, I was making reservation for the day at Magic Kingdom (I was barely awake). He made me some coffee then started going through his suitcase. The next thing I know I look over and he is down on his knee and asked me ” will you marry me?”. He was so nervous he opened the ring box upside down.

We decided on East Tennessee for our midsummer micro wedding because we wanted to have a small wedding that was close for both sides of the family. Growing up we both have been coming to east TN for vacations countless times. On our wedding day I am most looking forward to getting to wear my beautiful wedding bands!!!!
