Outdoor Family Wedding in North Carolina

Like many couples today, Katie and Michael were planning their wedding when they realized everything was ‘snowballing’. (Wedding planning can get out of control very easily). Katie and Michael decided that it would be in their best interests to save their money and have a small family wedding. And here’s the best part… they decided to have their wedding at our retreat center…

Here comes the bride...
Just look at Michael’s face.

Katie’s mother escorted her and offered blessings on behalf of her family. It was a touching moment when she lifted the veil. It was time!

I can't help it... I'm a romantic and just have to include a photo of the kiss.

Married!

And Katie, the 'stress-free' bride

After some family photos, we headed inside to celebrate..

Michael's father made a wonderful toast!

And .....I received this in an email today..

'Our wedding day was perfect!!

We couldn't be happier with how well everything went.'

Life is Good!
