Because we are keeping your safety and health our upmost concern, we are providing masks for guests to wear if they so choose. There will also be hand sanitizer provided at food stations. We are also looking at alternative seating plans so that we can potentially incorporate social distancing while sitting during the ceremony and dining. If we have anymore updates on how we are trying to make our event safer for you, we will post them here. We can't wait celebrate with you!

Little did they know that their path's would ever cross. Sammy just moved back to Tennessee and Shannel was finishing her senior year of college. Brook and Christian Jennings decided to introduce Sammy to their friend group and that was when he met Shannel. For a year Sammy and Shannel were friends and continued to stayed in touch. One day they decided to meet up with one another to see if there could be something more... Over 5 years later, they couldn’t be more excited to celebrate the next step in their lives together!

Sammy knew that when they were going to Italy again that he wanted to ask Shannel to be his wife. He invited their friends, Brook & Christian Jennings, to be a part of that special moment. After a week of exploring Florence, witnessing art from the Renaissance era, and binge eating on lasagna, they decided to venture out of the city to hike through Cinque Terre. They jumped on a train and made their way to Monterosso al Mare. Once there, the four of them explored the small village and made their way to the beginning of the hiking trail to Vernazza. Climbing the stairs up the side of the mountain was exhausting, but they knew once they reached the top the views were absolutely breathtaking. Together they stood at view points and marveled over the Mediterranean Sea and the small colorful fishing villages. The four of them continued upwards on the mountain until Sammy found the perfect spot to take a "picture". As he asked Christian and Brook to take a picture of them, Shannel smiled at the camera while Sammy knelt to one knee. It was there, overlooking the Italian Riviera, that they decided to take the next step of their lives together.
