Vibrant Fall Wedding

Emma and Donovan – November 7, 2024

Emma and Donovan’s wedding at Chapel in the Hollow was a delightful celebration of love, filled with fun and the vibrant hues of fall. They chose a striking raspberry fabric to dress the chapel, beautifully complemented by our white florals and the warm glow of our candle and lantern package, setting a romantic and inviting scene.

Emma looked absolutely stunning in a long-sleeved white dress featuring a long train, paired with a mid-length veil that fluttered elegantly as she walked down the aisle. Donovan was dapper in a black suit accented with a raspberry pocket square, echoing the color theme perfectly.

Her father had the honor of walking her down the aisle, while their friend Tim added a personal touch by performing the ceremony. Another friend, Madison, contributed by handling the music, filling the air with melodies that enhanced the joyful atmosphere.

The couple enjoyed photos at various picturesque spots around the property, including the chapel itself, the lush vines, the scenic highland area, and the charming road. The autumn colors were in full display, adding a spectacular backdrop to their special day.

Congratulations, Emma and Donovan! Your wedding was not just a celebration of your union but a perfect blend of friendship, family, and the beauty of nature. May your life together be as colorful and joyful as your wonderful wedding day!

From the Bride

We met at work while I was in college in his hometown.We don’t really have a true first date, but we consider the day we spent all day in the car driving around up to Chicago to pick up his friend flying back from the Navy as our “first date”. We shared different types of music and songs that we liked with each other, picked up some pizza and drove around the city killing time waiting for the flights to get in. He wouldn’t let his friend, who just got off an international flight and is over 6ft tall, sit in the front with him. Instead he kept me up front when I am 5ft tall and take up much less space but he wanted me up there instead.

We were on a hike in the Rocky Mountains and it was a bit slippery with the snow and ice and there were a few times when we almost fell. At one point I was in front of him and I heard him fall behind me, and when I turned around he was down on one knee with the ring out. So he had pretended to fall behind me just to get me to turn around at the perfect moment.

We loved the idea of going back out to the mountains for the ceremony with our immediate family and close friends. Tennessee is an easy drive for us and after a lucky google search I found you. On our wedding day I am looking forward to getting ready with my mom and best friend with me and seeing each other for the first time when I walk down the aisle. The number 7 repeats itself a lot for us, his birthday is the 7th and mine is the 27th and our anniversary is on a 7th. We thought it was fitting to have our wedding on a 7th as well.

We love watching movies together, in theaters and at home. And when we have our friends over we always pull out card games to play.
