How To Plan A Wedding Around A Military Deployment

Share

Happy bride and groom embrace on their wedding day

Love is patient… that’s what they say anyway, and when it came to Morgan and Timothy’s love that theory was put to the test. Their wedding was in the works when Timothy got the news that he would be deploying to the Middle East for eight months. With not enough time to pull off a full wedding these two rolled with the punches and said their “I do”s at the courthouse before Timothy had to leave. 

What you are getting to see now is the beautiful reunion of two lovebirds on their “part two” wedding day. Warning, this will definitely warm your heart, and if not you might try taking a peek at the full galleryMain Street Weddings and Stephanie Messick Photography‘s work is well worth the look.

Reunited!

The couple was FINALLY able to have their “second wedding” May 19, 2018. They got married out on the beautiful Marriott Ranch, in Hume, VA. Marriott Ranch specializes in rustic, chic weddings, with a country elegance that is beyond compare. It has the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge combined with southern charm.

The Style

Their wedding was full of pretty blooms from J Morris Flowers and Maggie Bracewell, antique details and a stunning setting. Morgan and Timothy truly captured their wedding vision for a relaxed, elegant pavilion dance surrounded by stunning mountainous views. The wedding was bursting with plenty pretty pink hues married with outdoorsy country details. 

Their wedding was a unique blend of casual elegance with blush and white florals, vintage gold candle holders, lace table runners, and vintage country chic furnishings, all in a large relaxed country pavilion.

The Forcast

The couple was originally worried about the forecasted rain because it literally rained every day that week leading up to their Saturday wedding. Fortunately, the day turned out to be glorious!! The forecasted rain never came and the couple was able to get married under the most elegant tree on the property located on the manor house lawn of the property. They truly had a fairytale wedding and felt the love from their guests the entire night.
