Tennessee Micro Weddings – Candice and Ricky

Of all of the locations for Tennessee micro weddings, Candice and Ricky joined us at Chapel in the Hollow today all the way from Texas to celebrate their big day! Ricky is an army veteran, and his officiant served with him. We made sure to include a good tinder photo so JP can get closer to finding the lady he is looking for. 😉 Candice and Ricky surprised their daughter and families with the announcement that they are expecting baby number 2! Congratulations Candice and Ricky!!

From the Bride: 

I was working in a new position in Tulsa, OK and met Ricky while I he was working at a local bar I was at with friends. He asked for my number and we chatted a lot via text before deciding to go on a date.

Our first date was memorable because it was a weeknight and had started to snow for the first time that winter. It was snowing a lot so we figured work and school the next day would be cancelled. We went to a local bar and had drinks and talked for hours and really hit it off. We stayed out way too late assuming everything would close the next day, but the snow was melted by morning and we were dragging the next day.

Ricky proposed on Valentine’s Day in 2014. We had planned on meeting 2 of Ricky’s best friends from the Army in Nashville for a little roadtrip reunion this summer, and when I saw how close we were to the Smoky Mountains I started looking up venues and fell in love with this one. We have been engaged for 6+ years and just let life get in the way. We’re excited to finally be doing this! I most look forward to getting to finally have our ceremony, my Dad walking me down the aisle and seeing our daughter as the flower girl.

We both love sports; baseball, hockey, football and going to sports events.
Movies is a fun date for us as well as live sporting events.
