Our Wedding

Henry and Angela met through Henry's friend, Ricky (groomsman). Angela and Ricky were acquaintances on Instagram, since they both are woodworkers. Angela heard of Ricky through her friend Faustina.Ricky posted Henry on his public Instagram story one day after their hike near Cookeville. Angela boldly swiped up and asked what they were up to near Cookeville and also who Henry was, as he caught her eye. *Angela and Henry did not talk at all before their date (everything was through Ricky)About a week or so after that, Ricky, Henry and Nathaniel (best man) met up with Angela, Grayson (bridesmaid), and Molly (maid of honor) for a hike out in Cookeville. Henry and Angela talked a lot and at the end of the day, Henry asked Angela out on a date. The following Sunday, they went on that date and absolutely clicked. They'd never laughed or smiled as much as they did that day. They've been an incredible and inseparable match ever since!

Angela and Theresa have been friends since kindergarten. They attended grade school together and, though they went to different middle schools, still saw each other at church every Sunday—always exchanging a wave, a wink, a hug, or sometimes fresh veggies from Angela’s garden. Their bond deepened in high school, and Angela treasures their friendship deeply.

Places to Stay 

For those traveling from out of town, there are plenty of things to do in the area for just about anyone!! 

For those who like the outdoors, there’s some good nearby hiking and views at Beaman Park and Harpeth River State Park. For those who like the city, Nashville is just 20 short minutes away. There are plenty of things to do for everyone in Nashville, such as Broadway (21+), alcohol tastings, plenty of amazing breweries, Music City attractions, Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium, plenty of museums about history and music (Tennessee State Museum is free admission), Nashville Farmers market, Centennial Park (The Parthenon), Vanderbilt and Belmont University are downtown, as well as the Frist art gallery. For those who are Catholic (or not) the Cathedral of the Incarnation is downtown and is beautiful. St. Mary of the Seven Sorrows is the oldest Catholic Church in Nashville, and is also really beautiful church to visit. There are lots of hiking and state parks east of Nashville as you get closer to Cookeville (1.5 hour drive), could be an option as a day trip. If you go to Greenbrier, the bride and groom highly recommended a wonderful small town restaurant called Greenbrier Pizza and Pub. They serve pizza, sandwiches, local beer on tap, as well as some amazing other food options.
