Hello, friends!
I’m so excited to be sharing some favorites from Rachel and Bill’s fun loving Nashville wedding, our first wedding of 2015! We are just so excited about everything coming up this year, and Rachel and Bill’s wedding was just the perfect way to get it started. We’ve gotten to spend some time with these two in the months leading up to the wedding, and they are seriously amazing, fun loving, adventure taking, awesome people. They also introduced us to rock climbing (LOVE)!
Rachel and Bill both work in theater, with Rachel currently on the education side and Bill on the technical side. They were working at the same place when they met, but Rachel noticed Bill first! As Rachel puts it: “We both met each other through different circumstances and at different times, but came to the same conclusion and that’s all that matters.” These two love to have fun together, and play is a major theme in their life. So it was the perfect theme to carry through to their wedding! They had games set up as guests arrived to the ceremony, a post ceremony dance party, games set up around the reception (including a giant Jenga set, hula hoops, Twister, jump ropes, and my favorite, a parachute!), pedicab rides from the ceremony location downtown to the War Memorial Auditorium, and Jeni’s ice cream served instead of a cake. So delicious! During the ceremony, they had a ring warming, where the rings (which were carved by Bill!) were passed around for all the guests to touch and put their good wishes into, and a literal knot tying with a climbing rope. Every single detail of the day was so perfectly and naturally them, which we just loved! I overheard a guest telling Bill they had never been to a wedding where everyone was so encouraged to be themselves, which I think is just the perfect compliment for the day.
Rachel’s BHLDN dress. I am seriously obsessed!
So beautiful. The bouquets and boutonnieres were made by Rachel’s friend, who happens to be the fabulously talented Meredith of Amaranthus Paper & Floral
Rachel and Bill: CONGRATULATIONS! We are just so thankful we got to be there to celebrate with you on such a beautiful day, and for your friendship! Here’s to many many years of play and adventures!
Thank you all for stopping by the blog! It’s going to be a great year! We’d also love to have you join in and follow along our adventures on Instagram!
