Dancing and having a blast at the reception with our friends and family!

“Went to Wine Country in Hermann Missouri. We traveled from winery to winery in a trolley and stayed at a local VRBO.”

Groom: What did you do for your bach party?

“We went to Lake Chikamauga in Chattanooga TN. We did some fishing but mostly relaxed and hung out.”

Did you two do a first look?

If you did a first look, tell us about it!

“Jennah cried!  We did our first look at Jennah’s parent’s house. I was anxious to see her. She looked beautiful.”-Mac

What’s next? What are you two planning on tackling next in life?

“We’re in the process of remodeling a 1909 farmhouse.”

For the bride: What are three things you love about your groom?

“He makes me laugh, a lot.  He is very hardworking and is always laser focused.  He is literally my best friend and has been for the past 15 years.”

For the groom: What are three things you love about your bride?

“She’s very patient and kind. She’s my best friend that I couldn’t imagine doing life without. If I somehow have daughters, I hope they’re exactly like her.”

Bride, tell us a bit about who was the most helpful in helping you pull off your dream wedding?

“Mac was actually VERY helpful in the whole planning process. Also, Nicole Boarman was our wedding coordinator and was a lifesaver!”

Advice for other couples who are planning their own wedding right now?

“Don’t get married during a world pandemic…. Also, don’t try planning a wedding while simultaneously remodeling a 110 year old farmhouse. Also, don’t take promotions with more responsibility while planning a wedding… And definitely do NOT do all of those things at the exact same time! 😂”

Did anything hilarious/unexpected happen?!

“During the ceremony a wasp was hanging out around the altar. Jennah is terrified of wasps. During the homily I saw it land where we were going to stand and exchange vows. I leaned over and asked her if she wanted me to step on it if it stayed there. She said yes. It flew away. As we’re standing there about to exchange vows it flew into my head and then started buzzing toward Jennah. Without hesitation I swatted it out of the air onto the ground in front of the bridesmaids. They acted quick and it was soon a sacrifice for our love and eternal marriage.”

First dance song?

My Best Friend- Tim McGraw
