Chris received a photo of Taylor while in boot camp, which got them talking, and ultimately married on Saturday, May 21, 2016.<\/p>\n

Taylor Ann wore a sweetheart-style wedding gown with a bejeweled silver belt and train. She held a bouquet of soft pink and white roses, and some greenery, tied with a white ribbon. Her six bridesmaids held the same bouquet, and modeled pink, semi sweetheart sheath gowns.<\/p>\n\"pink-spring-villa-siena-15\"<\/a>\n

Chris donned charcoal gray, three-piece suit with a dove gray dress shirt and necktie. His groomsmen wore two-piece, charcoal gray suits with dove gray dress shirts and neckties, and all lapels were pinned with a white rose.<\/p>\n

Taylor and Chris\u2019 outdoor ceremony was held at the end of a plush white carpet. Their love was described as like a movie, or picture perfect. The officiant said, \u201cThe vows are not only between Taylor and Chris, but God himself.\u201d<\/p>\n\"pink-spring-villa-siena-11\"<\/a>\n

A plated dinner started with Caesar salad, followed by chicken and steak with vegetables and potatoes. The three-tiered, chocolate and vanilla wedding cake came in white fondant made to look like petals, complete with three gumpaste pink roses, and a \u201cMr. & Mrs.\u201d cake topper. A sign near the bar read, \u201cOh snap! If you Instagram, please share the love!\u201d with the recommended hashtag: #cheers2theblanchards.<\/p>\n

During toasts, Taylor\u2019s father spoke about her relationship with Chris and one of Taylor\u2019s teachers, who was also a guest, and gave Chris some advice. A bridesmaid, Nicole, who has known Taylor since sixth grade, also spoke. Matt and Patrick, Taylor\u2019s older brothers, also had some kind words to say.<\/p>\n\"pink-spring-villa-siena-24\"<\/a>\n

The Father\/Daughter Dance was to \u201cMy Little Girl\u201d by Tim McGraw, and the Mother\/Son Dance was to \u201cWhat a Wonderful World.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guests were treated to chocolates with the note: \u201cHugs and kisses from the new Mrs. and Mr.\u201d with pink and gold wrapping. The reception also featured a memorial table for loved ones who have passed, or who could not attend.<\/p>\n\"pink-spring-villa-siena-27\"<\/a>\n

Taylor and Chris left under the signature sparkler farewell, and we wish them all the best on their new journey together!<\/p>\n
