Travel Note
Knoxville airport is the closest to our wedding. If you cannot find a good flight into Knoxville some other airports somewhat nearby are listed below in order of closest to farthest form our Wedding. You will likely need to rent a car or book a shuttle Knoxville, and then uber from Knoxville to Sevierville, if you choose to fly into one of these airports due to their distance. One good shuttle service to look into is Groom Transportation. Most of their shuttles cost about $50 one way. I would suggest flying into one of these airports only if you'd enjoy a scenic drive through georgia, tennesse, etc. If so there are a lot of great places to see along the way to our wedding.
