Share

Elegant white bridal flats with jeweled embellishments

These two high school sweethearts have known each other for 7 years and they still had wedding day jitters when it came to walking down the aisle. Wait till you see the groom’s reaction when he sees his bride coming down the aisle. Incredibly heartwarming.
Read on to learn how You can see that and even more of their gorgeous details, captured by Rachel Solomon, when you visit the full gallery here.

Hello Wedding Nerves

From the Bride: As my girls and I got ready, made our way to the venue and got in the quaint little bridal cottage, it hit me. That’s when the nerves kicked in! My parents and I peeked out the window as we watched the groomsmen and the bridesmaids make their way to the end of the aisle.

I had less than 5 minutes and all I could think about is Eric’s face–what the look would be on his face when he saw me, his bride, for the first time. All my nerves settled as we walked out of that quaint cottage and around the corner where I saw him. His face, his tears, the man I waited 7 years to marry.

Finding A Gem Of A Venue

To me, I had found a hidden gem when we chose The Windmill Winery as our wedding venue. With the beautiful restored barn as our reception site and the amazing outdoor space, I was in awe. It was rustic yet elegant, and fit my vision perfectly.

Dance Those Wedding Worries Away

After the ceremony, it was finally time to DANCE! All the nerves were gone and we got to be with our friends and family that had made the journey from all over to be there on our special day. Even in all the lace and tulle, I managed to dance my little booty off as well. Like everyone told us, it did go by so incredibly fast, but it was truly the happiest and by far the best day of our lives.
