On the afternoon of July 9th, 2025, we said “I do” in the quiet beauty of Barnardsville, North Carolina. We rented a small but beautiful Airbnb tucked deep in the Appalachian Mountains, a place that felt like it was made just for that moment. At 1pm, with the mountains around us and a close friend officiating, we shared our vows in a deeply intimate ceremony with just a few loved ones. It was peaceful, meaningful, and exactly how we wanted to begin this next chapter. That afternoon, we simply soaked it all in, the fresh air, the joy, and the warmth of a day we’ll never forget. Later, we went into town for a celebratory dinner, still floating from the magic of the day. Though our ceremony was small, we’re so excited to celebrate with many more of you this fall. We’ll be hosting receptions in Michigan and Florida to gather and toast to love, and we can’t wait to see you there. With love, Chris & Kelly
