What if I can’t make it? Why TN?

Answer

We know a destination wedding is not easy. We tried our best to consider the location of all our friends and loved ones. We have people spanning from Hawaii, Colorado, Michigan, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and down into Florida.
