Tonya and Kendall loved visiting Lake Lure and thought it would be the perfect spot for their wedding. And it was. The rental vacation house was very spacious, with several levels. There was a lovely covered balcony and the chairs were arranged to form an aisle. Someone had been hard a work decorating. There were bows and flowers everywhere..
It had been raining a little but stopped in time for us to have the ceremony at the end of the deck which was completely open.
Tonya and Kendall wanted a traditional religious ceremony. She was escorted by her father, who looked very proud.
Promises were made, rings were exchanged, prayers and blessings were offered. Sounds pretty traditional, doesn't it? Well.... this bride is anything but traditional.

Tonya had a big surprise for her guests. As you can see, she was wearing a beautiful wedding gown. Before the ceremony she told me of her plans to jump into the lake. Yes, while wearing her lovely wedding gown.
It seems that she had been telling people that she was finally 'taking the plunge'. She said the idea hit her, 'why not'. So here it is...
Tonya and Kendall taking the plunge.
Best wishes to an adventurous couple!
