Lyle and Molly – July 16, 2023

Morning Summer Elopement

Let’s swoon over the beautiful love story of Lyle and Molly as they embark on a magical morning summer elopement in the picturesque Smoky Mountains at Chapel in the Hollow! The chapel was adorned in delightful white and sand fabric, creating an enchanting and serene backdrop for their heartfelt vows. Our white florals added an elegant touch, perfectly complementing the overall ambiance.

Molly looked like a boho goddess in her off-the-shoulder dress, exuding an effortless and bohemian charm. Her hair adorned with dried flowers and her choice to go barefoot added a touch of whimsy to her bridal look. Lyle looked charming in brown jeans, a white shirt, and brown leather suspenders, perfectly matching the rustic and natural vibe of their elopement. His dried flower boutonniere added a delightful touch of nature.

Their love story is truly one-of-a-kind and heartwarming. Both Lyle and Molly had previous marriages and children with other partners, but fate had something extraordinary in store for them. As they got to know each other, they realized they had crossed paths before, meeting at a 4H camp when they were young without truly knowing each other at the time. The universe had its own plan, aligning their lives in unexpected ways.

They discovered an uncanny connection as they found out they got married on the same date in the same town, a remarkable coincidence. To add to the serendipity, Lyle’s birthday shares the same date (although not the same year) as Molly’s first husband’s. It felt like destiny was slowly weaving their paths together, bringing them closer through unique twists of fate. Now, they have formed a beautiful blended family. Lyle has a daughter, and Molly has three, and the bond between them all is heartwarming and genuine. They embrace their roles as sisters with excitement and love, making their journey together even more meaningful and joyous.

We were honored to witness and capture the magic of Lyle and Molly’s heartfelt elopement, filled with love, laughter, and the promise of forever. May their love continue to bloom, just like the beautiful white florals that adorned their special day. Congratulations to the incredible couple on their new chapter together!

From the Bride:

We met at 4-H camp and knew each other in high school. Both had married and divorced other people. 15 years later, we reconnected on social media and have been together for a year and a half. For our first date, we enjoyed a trip to Cincinnati, Oh for dinner at a local pub and concert! Lyle proposed on a hiking trip in Hocking Hills State Park in March. We were surrounded by nature and the rolling hills of Appalachia.

We decided on an East Tennessee elopement because, we love the mountains and look forward to exploring and hiking after our wedding! I am looking forward to the simplicity of our ceremony between the two of us. Enjoying the mountain views and nature.

For fun we love to go hiking and kayaking, and having adventures outside!
