Andrew and Nora Wedding | Fern Hill at C. Barton McCann School of Art
To say that we ran cross country with Nora would be telling half the truth. We ran on the same team, but Nora was a mile ahead. She was usually leading the team speedy, intense, and with a smile on her face! Her love for running and her genuine kindness made her someone that the team of 40 girls didn’t just know, but a girl we all loved! It’s no surprise that she found herself a runner and loving man in her husband, Andrew!
These two met through a mutual friend while in Nashville. As Andrew’s mom, Gina told me on their wedding day, it only took a few dates until Andrew called home to tell his parents about this incredible girl. When Andrew’s mother Gina asked what it was about Nora that made her so special he said, “She just makes life so easy.”
Aside from their mutual love of running and kind hearts, their family structure also makes them perfect for each other! Andrew is number five with four older sisters, and Nora is number two with five brothers! After a whole life with only brothers and only sisters, Andrew gained 5 brothers and Nora gained 4 sisters in a day!
Nora and Andrew, we can't thank you and and your families enough for allowing us to be part of your big day! It was a beautiful wedding, filled with so much love and joy for the two of you! Enjoy your photos!!
Nora's engagement ring diamond was the one her father used to propose to her mother.
Andrew's nieces and nephew were their flower girls and ring bearer.
We will never turn down a sibling pic!
They told us that holding up their numbers was their Mom's favorite pose! Anything for Beth!
While we were waiting for Nora to come down the aisle, I overheard Nora's mom whisper to her Grandma, "Wait until you see her. She looks so beautiful." She wasn't lying!
Starting with the youngest and ending with the oldest, each brother took a turn walking Nora down the aisle.
Nora's cousin read and Andrew's brother-in-law sang during the ceremony!
There were mostly happy tears at the wedding, but there were a few “Get me back to mommy” tears too!
Who doesn't love a cookie table?!
Nora's mother, Beth topped her beautiful speech off by asking everyone to raise their peach drink glass in celebration of Nora and Andrew. In memory of her late husband, Ken, who called Nora his "Peach", accents of peach were apparent throughout the wedding day.
Andrew's father, Chris was his Best Man and Nora's best friend, Sarah was her Maid of Honor!
Andrew and his mom, Gina performed one of the most fun mother-son dances ever! This Tennessee family can cut a rug!
Nora did a sister-brothers dance, and ended it dancing with her mom!
Before the party ended, Nora and Andrew passed off some of Nora's bouquet flowers to the next couple! Nora's brother, Kyle and his fiancée, Kira are next to get married! LOVE this growing family!
Thank you to this amazing team of wedding vendors who made our job so much more enjoyable, and kept the day running smoothly! We really appreciate you all!
