Welcome to Our Wedding Reception!

One of the most frequently asked questions of all is how Nicholas and Hannah met for the first time. This is that story. Let me paint you a picture: Hannah was introduced to Nicholas via his wonderful, beautiful mother. He had come up to the nutrition club that Joy and Hannah were working at with his dad. Then About 2.5 minutes after a brief introduction, she ran face-first into a locker and fell to the ground. Somehow or another, her hysterical laughter derived from pure embarrassment and pain must’ve peaked his interest. It might not be the most graceful first impression, but, have you met Hannah? For once in her life, her clumsiness came in handy. And God bless the results.

Let's talk about the whirlwind decision to run away to California to get married - Here's how those events transpired: Hannah met Nick's beautiful mom, Joy, exactly 10 days after her own parents moved out to California. They grew close to each other instantly. That being said, one afternoon, Hannah and Joy were sitting on the couch talking about a road trip that she and Nick were planning to take to visit her parents a few months later. Joy turned to her in the midst of the conversation and said “You know what would be really cool!? If you guys were to get married in the mountains while you're there!” Now obviously, it was a really cool idea, but the road trip was FIVE weeks away from the time of that conversation. The thought seemed nearly impossible, and it was laughed off in the moment. After Nick got home from work, they talked about it and the more they did, the crazier it seemed. Of course, excitement made its' way in. After hours of discussion and weighing the pros and cons, they came to the conclusion that it would be the perfect ceremony for them. They would find a way to pull it all together. About a week after that, Nick bought a ring and officially proposed. A little out of order, I know... But when you’re planning a wedding in 5 weeks... in a different state.... on a mountain.... working it into a pre-existing road trip... things have to be handled a little bit out of order! So, there you have it. That was the brief story of how the wedding ceremony of Nicholas Kinney and Hannah Francis came to be. It's nothing short of unique and everything they never knew they wanted!
