Tracy and Eddie wanted a simple uncomplicated wedding. They also wanted a quiet place to rest and enjoy the beauty of nature. The Cottages of Spring House Farm was a perfect choice for their destination wedding and honeymoon. In fact, they loved the area so much they did a little house shopping and actually made an offer on a house.
When I arrived at Spring House I was met by Arthur Campbell, the owner, and his canine family. We chatted a little while waiting for the anxious bride and groom. Although Tracy and Eddie were confident in their decision to marry they said they were feeling some pre-wedding jitters. It was obvious, they had forgotten to bring their marriage license with them. Arthur told Eddie to hop on his ATV and he would run him back to the cabin. At least it was nearby. One couple, a few years ago, had to drive home (two hours away) to retrieve the forgotten license.
At Spring House, there are several locations available for weddings. This covered pavilion, by the water lilies, was a lovely choice. It’s a little early for the lilies but some had started blooming along with the beautiful roses.
Tracy carried a bouquet of wildflowers that she picked before the ceremony began. The flowers were tied with ribbon and contained a cross (which belonged to Eddie’s grandmother) and a ring (which belonged to Tracy’s grandmother.) What nice way to honor the memory of special people.
Promises were made, hearts were joined.
I look forward to our future together
knowing we will walk it together
side by side,
hand in hand
and heart to heart.
hand in hand
and heart to heart.
The honeymoon is over but the marriage has just begun.
