Lori + Jared | “You had me at Friend Request” Wedding in North Carolina

Youtube Video

The story of Lori and Jared started in the 6th grade, went on hiatus for 20 years, and then took off thanks to Facebook! After traveling to see each other from totally different sides of the country, their whirlwind romance made these two realize that they were made for each other — I had pretty much given up on finding love. Until, one day while sitting on the couch scrolling through Facebook a familiar face popped up on my “People you may know” section.
Jared Wiggins, could this be my 6th grade boyfriend from Marshville, NC? Luckily for me, his profile wasn’t private so let the stalking begin and believe me….did I stalk! After corresponding over Face Time for 2 months, I flew out to Tahoe to see if my prince charming really did exist and the rest was history! So you see, true love is possible, no matter how crazy it sounds.
After he relocated to NC, we visited Fontana Village Resort in the Great Smoky Mountains and knew that this was the right place to tie the knot! We were married November 2, 2013 at Fontana Village Resort in Fontana Dam, NC.
The fall landscape was the perfect background for our rustic country themed wedding. Almost all of the decorations were handmade by my mother, from the burlap and lace wedding bouquets to all the floral arrangements. Everything was made with love.
We decided to use the Weddingmix app + HD cameras after investigating videographer prices and found this to be an affordable option to capture the moments of our wedding. The entire process was extremely easy and the editing staff did a wonderful job of compiling massive amounts of footage into a polished arrangement of memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you WeddingMix for allowing us to relive our wedding over and over again!
