Surprise Micro Wedding

Charissa and Anthony – August 22, 2023

Unexpected love took center stage as Charissa and Anthony came for a surprise micro wedding at Chapel in the Hollow. The chapel radiated with gold and white fabric, adorned with the warm glow of sunflower florals, a beautiful contrast mirroring their unique journey.

Their families were brought together under the pretense of family photos, unaware of the joyful twist awaiting them. Charissa and Anthony’s surprise announcement turned the day into a celebration of not just their love, but the love they shared with those closest to them.

Charissa, a vision of grace, donned a lacy dress with soft, flowy sleeves, while Anthony rocked a blend of casual and stylish – jeans paired with a patterned dress shirt, a leather vest, and a charming cowboy hat. Their attire spoke of authenticity, setting the tone for the day.

Five children and a niece stood by their side as they exchanged vows, a heartwarming display of family unity. With laughter and joy, their young entourage embodied the spirit of their love, reflecting the playful and genuine connection that Charissa and Anthony shared.

As Charissa made her way to the chapel, it seemed Anthony’s eyes might have caught a glistening tear, a testament to the depth of their emotions. Their ceremony was a harmonious blend of playfulness and tenderness, a true reflection of their journey together.

Charissa and Anthony’s surprise micro wedding was a radiant reminder that love has the power to bring together families, to surprise, to play, and to evoke genuine emotions. In the heart of the Smoky Mountains, their story was etched into the tapestry of the land, a testament to the beauty of unexpected beginnings.

From the Bride:

He was the delivery truck driver for my job. His smile lit up the room. We got to know each other each week more and more. Helped each other thru some difficult times. Grew closer and closer. We eventually started dating. It was like being teenagers in love. The butterflies were always there. The laughs and smiles. He has been my better half the entire time. He has been a true blessing helping me thru some of the most trying times I’ve ever endured. I’ve always know with him. It was always just when is it going to happen. We couldn’t think of anything better then an elopement from the great state he is from.

Our first date was amazing and simple. Outback steakhouse sharing the same meal, well his meat had to be more cooked then I like it. Lol! He has always made me feel so special. Anthony proposed, he took me to the mountain in Casper. We have an outlook over the city and he turned on our favorite songs and poured his heart out at how much he loves me and doesn’t want to wake up next to anyone but me. Got on one knee and asked me to be his wife.

We decided on an East Tennessee wedding because we are driving through there for vacation. Anthony’s parents are in TN and my family will all be with us so we figured it was the perfect time to have all the family we wanted there. I am looking forward to getting to marry the love of my life with everyone I love watching.

For fun, we enjoy being outdoors. Cuddling. Bingo. Being with the family and kiddos. Playing games. Making memories. Exploring. We love highland cows. Going new places.
