Unique Elopement
Kathy and Rick – November 2, 2023
Kathy and Rick brought a dash of quirky creepiness to Chapel in the Hollow for their unique elopement. The chapel was adorned with gold and champagne fabric, setting the perfect backdrop for their unconventional celebration.
Kathy looked fabulous in her floor-length black dress, while Rick rocked a sharp black suit. His boutonniere with steampunk details added an extra edge to their style.
But the real fun began with their Publix cake and whimsical decor. The cake setup was nothing short of adorable. And who could forget the Michael Myers costume? Diana, our event manager, couldn’t resist slipping into it for some spook-tacular photos. Keep an eye out, you might spot her creeping around!
It was an elopement filled with personality and a touch of the unexpected. We’re thrilled to have been a part of it.
From the Bride:
A mutual friend introduced us. What started out as a friendship quickly grew to be much more! Two very different people from two very different worlds who realize they finally found the missing piece within each other. Our first date was like a breath of fresh air. Our ability to laugh was given back to us that day and still continues today…It was like coming home. A sense of reuniting with a long lost friend.
Rick proposed, under the live oaks at Brookgreen Gardens at twilight . It was a southern girls dream! We decided on an East Tennessee elopement because we both love the mountains and once we saw Chapel in the Hollow, it was a sealed deal. I am looking forward to the start of our journey together in the eyes of the Lord as man and wife. We credit HIM in so many ways for our journey to where we are today.
EVERYTHING we do together is fun. We share the same interests from movies to food to travel. We have a mutual obsession with Halloween and love to create props and decorate!
