Under the soft glow of the April sky, Ashley and Joe celebrated their love in a beautiful outdoor evening ceremony at Chapel in the Hollow. They transformed the chapel into a romantic setting with champagne fabric and our unique succulent florals, complemented by the enchanting ambiance of our winter tree package, creating a dreamy backdrop for their vows.
Ashley was stunning in a sleeveless dress that featured exquisite detailing in the underlayers of her train, a masterpiece of design and elegance. Joe, in a striking green suit, showed the depth of his emotions, with tears streaming down his face as he took his place on the chapel steps, moved by the significance of the moment.
Surrounded by the love and support of her mom and sister while getting ready, Ashley’s day was filled with laughter, joy, and anticipation. Her mom had the honor of walking her down the aisle, a journey made with love and pride towards Joe, who awaited her with open heart.
Adding a personal touch to their ceremony, Ashley’s uncle Kenny officiated, lending an intimate and familial warmth to their exchange of vows. Their friends, who had come from far and wide, joined in celebrating Ashley and Joe’s union, testament to the love and friendship that surrounds them.
The celebration continued with a delightful pizza bar, offering guests pizza, cupcakes, and specially designed cookies to enjoy. This casual yet thoughtful dining experience allowed their loved ones to mingle and celebrate while we whisked Ashley and Joe away for photos around the property, capturing the joy and beauty of their special day.
Ashley and Joe’s wedding was not just an exchange of vows but a celebration of love, family, and friendship, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Smoky Mountains. As they embark on this new chapter together, we wish them a lifetime of happiness, love, and adventure.
Congratulations, Ashley and Joe! May your life together be as beautiful and filled with joy as your wedding day.
From the Bride:
We went to the same high school and even gym several years later but never knew each other until we met online! For the first date, he took me to my favorite restaurant, we sat there for hours chatting. He proposed on my favorite beach in St. Kitts when I lived there for veterinary school on January 5, 2023. We chose East Tennessee because we were looking for something pretty inclusive. I love going to Tennessee. He and I have been a couple times together. I am most excited to be marrying my person and sharing the evening with our most important people! Our favorite date night is usually focused around a nice dinner. Somewhere new or our usual for something we know we like! We like doing activities too.
