They are the classic ol' Swipe Right success story! They met up for a quick drink afterwork to determine if there was a spark and it turned out to be love at first sight. They spent the entire night hanging out & laughing til it hurt! The night ended when the bartenders shut down the bar but their story had only just begun!
Townsend, Tennessee (outside of Gatlinburg). The vision for the elopement was to be secluded and surrounded by mountains. Stephanie spent her childhood summers in the Smokey Mountains with her parents, so when there were super cheap flights into Knoxville and an Air B&B with jawdropping views, it was meant to be!
Reverend Tiffany Shields. By the powers vested in her by the internet!
The elopement occurred over the weekend of April 22nd. Vows were exchanged and then the wedding license was signed on April 24th 2022. So according to the good ol’ government, 4/24/22 is their anniversary!
Don't even think about asking.
Because that’s not how elopements work! The bride and groom wanted a budget friendly, stress free nuptial exchange. The day was perfect and everything they wanted it to be!
SURPRISE! If its good enough for J. Lo and Ben Affleck, it's good enough for us! Surprises are way better than announcements and there are so few surprises in life!! The newlyweds took the last few months to enjoy their moment by themselves! Now you can can happily enjoy the news as well!
The engagement ring had been in the process of being custom made since October. It took for-ev-er to be finished. The elopement time frame had already been decided, with or without an engagement announcement.
Yes. Mistakes were made. There will be security scanning for orange and green apparel. You will not be permitted inside the building.
She is still Stephanie Shields. She is the end of the line for the Shields name, so she will carry it as long as possible! But also, after changing your name you have to buy a new passport and she JUST renewed for a new one. She'll need to get a few stamps before spending the money again. Not saying she won't change her name, but it is not happening any time soon.
