Ryan Mack: Forever and Ever and Always.
Maria and Justin’s intimate fall forest wedding at Chapel in the Hollow was pure magic. The chapel was adorned with champagne fabric, complemented by our blush and bashful florals, and brought to life with the gentle glow of our candle and lantern package. Maria looked absolutely stunning in her off the shoulder illusion top dress, with a full skirt that gave her an ethereal presence. Meanwhile, Justin sported jeans, a light tan shirt, and a charming tweed vest, adding a rustic touch to their special day. To capture a truly enchanting moment, Maria and Justin shared a first look behind the chapel, with the mossy tree bathed in sunlight creating a breathtaking backdrop. The love between them shone as brightly as the sunbeams filtering through the forest’s canopy. Their daughter played a special role, walking down the aisle with a sign that added a touch of sweetness to the ceremony, and their two sons escorted Maria down the aisle, a touching display of unity and love. As they exchanged vows, it was a beautiful and emotional moment for Maria and Justin. Her poetic vows were an artistic expression of their love, and their shared tears showcased the depth of their emotions. With the sunlight illuminating her radiant red hair, Maria’s beauty was simply breathtaking. For the sweetest touch, they had a gorgeous two-tiered cake from Cakes by Bakin’ ‘Bishop. It was a delicious and beautiful addition to their day. Maria’s choice of cowboy boots added a country charm to her elegant attire, perfectly reflecting their personalities. Celebrating over 15 years of love, Maria and Justin’s special day was a testament to their love story, and we couldn’t be happier for them. From the Groom: We were introduced to one another through mutual friends. We didn’t have a traditional first date. We spent some time getting to know one another and then spent a lot of time together as friends. After knowing each other for several months Maria made it her mission to turn the friendship into a relationship. We became a couple on March 06, 2008. We have spent the last 15 years building a family and our careers. We have a total of three children, Chason, 14, Tanner, 12, and Skylar, 4. We are finally saying our I’ do’s after building our lives together over the past 15 years. I proposed after a carriage ride through the city of Indianapolis, IN, after dinner and a night walk around the city. We decided on an East Tennessee wedding because Maria loves rustic and country settings. We are a very simple and close knit family and wanted a rustic intimate setting for our wedding day. We are looking forward to finally, officially, becoming husband and wife even though we have referred to ourselves that way for years. No specific significance to the date, however, we love the fall. Along with this, my grandfather was very important to me and loved by everyone, especially Maria and the kids. My grandfather’s birth month was October and that was the reason we chose October as the month for our wedding. For fun, We love spending time together, especially as a family. We love watching movies together, taking our children to do family activities, and spending time together looking for rustic items to improve our home.
