Loveless Barn Wedding in Nashville, TN :: Brittany + Patrick :: with Kayla A.

What’s the one moment you remember, above all, about your wedding day?  What made it feel so special/memorable?

It’s a tight race between our first look and our first dance. Our first dance was to a song that had so much meaning for the both of us and was such an intimate moment. I remember dancing along and eventually singing some of the song to Patrick quietly as we continued to dance it was such a sweet, special moment that I will always remember.

I included a single white rose for both sets of my grandparents, Patrick’s grandmother and grandfather, and my aunt who are no longer with us with a ribbon tied around them with their names on them. My ring bearers carried them up the aisle and laid them in a vase with a sign that said, “In loving memory of those who are forever in our hearts today and always.” It was so important to me to include them all in some way as they all are near and dear to us.

Every piece of our decor was touched and created in love by someone we love dearly, including them all was so important to me.

 

What did it feel like to see your future spouse for the first time on your wedding day?

Doing a first look was something Patrick and I had went back and forth on during the planning process but I am so glad we decided to do it! As the day progressed through getting ready and making sure everyone knew about the final plans I grew more and more nervous and hopeful that the day would go smoothly. Once I saw Patrick all the worry just melted away. I realized how truly blessed I was to be marrying this wonderful man and was truly able to take everything in and enjoy such a beautiful perfect day. It was a moment I will always cherish.
