Our Wedding

In the opening chapters of their love story, Thomas and Emily's destinies converged in the unlikeliest of places: an 8 am "Global Experience" class during their freshman year. They exchanged friendly waves as they crossed paths on campus for the next three years, but it wasn't until the spring of their senior year that fate intervened. In the spring of their senior year, they reconnected during a trivia night at the local campus bar. The following week, after spending a whole evening flirting at the same bar, Thomas, nervous he was misreading signals, gave a simple “goodnight!” and walked away, leaving Emily in a whirlwind of anticipation. The stars aligned when, the following week, Emily's roommate played Cupid and helped her send a daring Instagram DM to Thomas, suggesting they hang out. Thomas, elated to see the message, took her up on the offer, asking her on a date. One date quickly turned into many and just like that, their story began to unfold. After tossing their graduation caps in the air, Emily and Thomas ventured to Raleigh, North Carolina, where they faced the challenges of the adult world hand in hand. Together, they learned the art of adulting, the ups and downs of life, and built the strong foundation that brought them to this moment. In August 2022, the pages of their story took them to Nashville, Tennessee. They took a leap of faith by renting their first house together and welcoming a furry addition to their family – a playful puppy who added a delightful new chapter to their love story. But the most thrilling chapter was yet to come. A little over a year later, Thomas orchestrated a proposal with the help of Emily's maid of honor. The setting was the picturesque Barcelona, and as the sun set over Ciutadella Park , he got down on one knee. This time, he had the courage to muster the question that was on his mind, and Emily, with a heart full of joy, said yes! As they stand here on the brink of forever, Emily and Thomas look forward to a lifetime of love, laughter, and cherished moments. Their journey has brought them to this special day, and they can't wait to celebrate their love with their dearest friends and family.

The most iconic street in Nashville is Broadway. Located in the heart of downtown, this street is famous for it's live music venues (also called Honky Tonks). Walking down the street, each bar you pass will have at least 3 stories with a different band or DJ on every floor. A can't miss attraction for any music lover! Just be prepared to navigate through the dozens of Bachelorette parties that take over the street every weekend :)

While it might look unassuming, the Bluebird Cafe is one of the most famous music venues for singer-songwriters to perform. Past performers include Garth Brooks, Keith Urban, Carole King, and Faith Hill. You'll most likely see performances by artists who have written songs that consistently top the charts.

Hands down, some of the best biscuits &amp; breakfast food in town. They don't take reservations, so plan to get there around 9am before the line gets too long! We've never waited outside for more than 10-15 minutes and can guarantee it's worth the wait. If you're a chai latte drinker, their homemade chai is 10/10.
