Love, Laughter & a Little Golf


How they met
"Braedon and I met playing golf. I was golfing with three friends and we needed a fourth person- and my friend invited Braedon to join us. When we met, we thought nothing of it. Braedon conveniently was giving me 'unsolicited' golf advice all day long.
All four of us had a blast golfing and decided to keep hanging out - all going to dinner & then out to the bars. We ended up spending the full day > night together.
At the bar, Braedon and I connected over our shared experiences of grief & loss. He asked me out that night....I told him 'I wasn't sure about him yet' and to check back in with me tomorrow! He did, I eventually agreed, and the rest is history!"

Their venue and colors
"We got married at Rocky Fork Hunt & Country Club in Gahanna, OH
Our colors were greens - I love chartreuse & olives and wanted to amplify the beautiful natural greenery from the outdoors."
Finding her dream gown...
"I couldn't have done it without Tanya Hartman at Gilded Social.
She is the one who helped me bring this vision to life! When I started my search for wedding gowns, I was really stuck on where to begin - they all felt too bridal and too serious for me.
I figured I would start by looking at runway shows of ready-to-wear designers that I love, so that I could find a silo that inspired me.
I fell in love with a yellow Caroline Herrera gown and screenshotted it to try to find a bridal version. I struck out when searching online for a similar silo."


The Dress.
"When I made my appointment at Tanya's bridal shop,
she called immediately to get the details of what I was looking for.
I sent her the image of the CH gown & told her I wanted a more emotional, textural fabrication.
When I showed up for my appointment, she immediately recommended Antonio Gual and had the styles in mind that we could take pieces of to make the "whole" of the gown that I was in love with.
It was such a fun appointment because I felt like I was a part of bringing my vision to life! I am in love with how it turned out and am so grateful for the process."
A moment to relive
"The entire thing! The ceremony was extremely special. It felt like we were the only two people there & were so connected.
Braedon's best friend officiated the ceremony & kept it super real, genuine and lighthearted.
I felt so lucky, seen & Braedon's expression of sheer joy & love will stick with me forever."
