Cassandra & Tyler || Sedona, Arizona

Tyler owned a faculty bar on the University of Kentucky’s campus, and I was receiving my Masters at the College of Kentucky. My girlfriend and I generally went to his bar, and he constantly caught my eye. On my 24th birthday, I only desired to go have a Bushwacker (think chocolate frosty with Rum) at the Other Bar (Tyler’s bar). We had been the only persons at the bar on a slow Wednesday. It turns out that the bartender that was to operate that evening known as in ill, and Tyler had to address. It was as if the stars aligned. We thoroughly strike it off and two weeks afterwards went on our 1st date. Tyler proposed to me in Cave Creek, AZ, on my 26th birthday. He rented an Airbnb in the mountains that were being secluded sufficient that there was no light-weight pollution or site visitors. On my birthday, he dropped me off at the Scottsdale shopping mall to have a day procuring and enjoyable when he told me he was decorating the AirBnB for my birthday meal. When I was carried out procuring, I took an Uber back to the Airbnb, the place Tyler was ready for me at the bottom of the mountain. He blindfolded me and walked me to the back again of the household. When I took off my blindfold, there were being balloons, purple roses, champagne, and Tyler on just one knee.

Tyler and I experienced booked a huge venue in our hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. Right after a couple months of scheduling, it did not truly feel correct. We have been to numerous close friends and loved ones weddings, which wasn’t our fashion and didn’t in shape our adventurous personalities. Tyler proposed to me in Cave Creek, Arizona, and we went to Sedona, Arizona, for New Yr. I definitely fell in really like with the Crimson Rocks, and I recall telling Tyler that I required to be married right here in the Pink Rocks. So, we had a heartfelt discussion with the family members and made the decision to terminate the significant location and have a compact desired destination marriage ceremony in Sedona with just our mothers and fathers and siblings. We located a superb few specializing in elopements on the West Coastline, and they aided us approach the most epic wedding at any time. We initially had prepared on remaining married on 3/4/2022. Two times in advance of the wedding ceremony, our photographer identified as us and stated there would be hail and bad winds on our marriage day and that if we preferred to go on the trails, we necessary to get married tomorrow. We had also delivered some decorations for the reception, and a person of our wooden bourbon barrel heads with our authentic wedding day had break up down the center! Even crazier is that all our champagne flutes and glassware ended up in the similar box. With so a lot of signs saying to get married on the 3rd required my more mature brother to book an earlier flight. Our wedding day day was the most special working day of my existence that I will by no means fail to remember. I got to get completely ready with my sister-in-law, Mother, and Mother-in-Legislation and face-timed my ideal buddy in Sweden. Tyler and I stored as a lot of our wedding ceremony as classic as probable, even not observing each other until eventually I walked down the “aisle.” My marriage ceremony gift was a pair of PF Flyers, and I gifted Tyler a Hublot observe and a journal documenting our memories from the day he proposed to me until finally our marriage ceremony working day. We rode to the leading of the mountain in off-street jeeps (it was a tough trip) and hiked 10 minutes to the cliffs that ignore the Sedona Purple Rocks. My dad walked me down the aisle, and we exchanged our vows. Soon after the ceremony, our parents and siblings returned to the Airbnb and requested pizzas even though we put in 2 hours using pictures till sunset. That night time we signed our Marriage Licenses, ate pizza, and performed board online games with our siblings. On our original wedding ceremony working day, we decorated the AirBnB for the reception. Since it was a team of 13, I hired a own chef to arrive to the Airbnb and prepare dinner for us. Tyler created my wedding ceremony working day unforgettable. He built my bouquet, set up chandeliers, and decorated/made our complete reception evening meal. I even obtained to wear my marriage dress twice, and Tyler and I received to consider photographs of us having completely ready with each other, which was so particular. It hailed on our “reception” day, and temperatures have been under 30 degrees in the desert, so we had to go our tables below the Airbnb awning and lease some huge heaters. My dad performed guitar and sang a song for us that we utilised in our marriage online video.

It was superb! I picked the 3rd dress I tried out on and was speechless. It was ideal. The girl serving to me listened to what I wished and located the costume of my desires.
Sally seemed at the images of attire I favored, requested what I wished in a costume, and served me uncover a excellent costume.
