October has become very popular for weddings in the mountains of North Carolina.. And that should come as no surprise. Warms days and cool nights…What could be more perfect than an outdoor ceremony surrounded by the beauty of nature.
It was my honor to officiate several ceremonies during the past month. There were a few couples who hired photographers so I’m hoping to have those photos to post soon. For now here are a few that we took.
Many couples are choosing non-traditional wedding ceremonies. Jennifer and Steve wanted a ceremony that reflected their personalities. Steve, an enviromental scientist, and Jennifer love the outdoors, particularly hiking in the mountains. On the day before their wedding at the Inn at Mill Creek they hiked the area, gathering flowers and berries for the bridal bouquet. 
Don't they look happy... Relaxed and stress-free...
And we had a couple of weddings at our Retreat Center. Karen and Mike were such a fun couple and were looking forward to spending their honeymoon hiking around the Asheville area.
We concluded the ceremony with the 'breaking of glass'. May their bond of love be as difficult to break as it would be to put together the pieces of the broken glass.
