Daniel and Stephanie's Wedding

Finally... a post about the second half of our trip to North Carolina in late March.

The main reason we headed to the East coast was for Matt's brother Daniel's marriage to his sweet fiancee Stephanie. We were so thrilled about their match and couldn't wait for them to finally be husband and wife! Stephanie grew up in Asheville, North Carolina where her Dad works at the Biltmore Estate. So naturally, that's where she wanted to get married. It was, as expected, an absolutely GORGEOUS destination and the bride and groom couldn't have been happier.





We had a great time at the rehearsal dinner in the Estate's barn which has been converted into a great party/dinner hall. They had a hay ride and a bonfire as well as lots of yummy BBQ!! The weekend was full of special and touching toasts both to the bride and groom and from them. There was so much love there that weekend. It was truly amazing!

The day of the wedding was kind of rainy, but worked out perfectly in the location they had chosen. Before the festivities started, we were able to tour the Biltmore house which was a highlight of the trip. Truly a beautiful home! The largest private residence in America - over 200 rooms. It was spectacular!! Then that afternoon after getting all dressed up, we headed back to the Biltmore house to take family pictures on the South Terrace.







After that, it was time for the big event. Our sweet Oliver was one of the "flower dudes" and gave everyone some laughs as he missed the center aisle and went up the side! Happy tears were shed and a great celebration ensued late into the night. What a blessed event it was - we are so happy for you guys!



We love you Dan and Stephanie!
