Outdoor Elopement – Nicki and Bradley

Nicki and Bradley joined us August 1st with their three sons for their fun, outdoor elopement. Nicki got this gorgeous dress off of Amazon for a steal of a deal, and she looked amazing in it!! These two played so well for the camera, and that red hair —-ooooh so pretty!! Congratulations Nicki and Bradley!!

From the Bride:

We met May 25th, 2019 at a friends gathering at a campsite in Georgia. I was getting ready to leave and saw this man standing alone. Walked up and said Hi! Chatted for a minute than left the next morning we seems to have been trying to find each other on Facebook. Finally did and chatted some more through out the day. Hung out the following day and been together ever since. Fast forward a year later, we are camping together at the same spot at the same time. May 25, 2020 Brad proposed at the same spot we met. We have been anxiously awaiting our wedding day to start the rest of our life together. First date was a friends house, hanging out in the pool just chit chatting getting to know each other’s back ground.

Brad proposed May 25,2020. We were camping at the same spot we met a year ago exact date. He said “ Nicki, today exactly one year ago we met at this same campground! Over the course of a year, you have shown me feelings that I didn’t know I could have! You have shown me a love like I have never known! You make me so happy and I want to spend the rest of my life with you baby, so will you make me the happiest man on earth and be my wife?” Of course, I said yes

We chose East Tennessee because of availability, location, services and cutenesses. I was most looking forward to getting to marry the man I love and adore. Also finally blending our two families into one!

“Love never fails” 1 Corinthians 8:13 ~ I wanted to be married on a date that relates to a bible verse about love. I originally chose 8/13 but due to kids school schedule backed it up to 8/1.

For fun, we go camping- motorcycle rides- date nights are the normal for older working people, lol.
