If it wasn’t for Nathan’s mother, Taryn and Nathan might both still be single. Fortunately Nathan’s mom convinced Taryn to meet her son. The two met for the first time at a gym where they were both immediately attracted to one another. They married September 10, 2015.
The bride wore a strapless gown with rouching across the front and a mermaid flair. A blusher veil and a bouquet of shades of purple and white finished the look. Bridesmaids wore wine colored gowns with a single shoulder strap with crystal beads across the chest. To wed the love of his life, Nathan chose a black tuxedo with black vest, black tie and white shirt. Groomsmen were in black tuxedos with purple vests, ties and white shirts.
The officiant, an old friend and pastor, who had known the bride since she was in fourth grade was able to personalize the ceremony. Taryn’s brother read from Corinthians while the bride and groom lit a unity candle.
The couple celebrated their first dance with George Strait’s I Cross My Heart, followed by the father & daughter dance to I Loved Her First by Heartland and That’s What Mama’s Do by Jason Matthews for the mother & son dance. There was also a special anniversary dance honoring the bride and groom’s parents.
Nathan was welcomed to the bride’s family by Taryn’s cousin during speeches while the groom’s older brother talked of how great a person and brother Nathan is. The highlight of dessert was the four-tiered chocolate and vanilla wedding cake with white fondant and crystal ribbon wrapped around the base of each tier.
Throughout the night guests took pictures in a photo booth and then made them into a souvenir scrapbook for the bride and groom. Instead of a traditional guest book, guests were asked to sign a large metal frame that encased one of the couple’s engagement photos.
Congratulations Taryn & Nathan. May the love and happiness that was with you both on your wedding day be with you always. We wish you the best.
