Dark & romantic style meets a wedding chapel in the woods

Cheyenne’s black ballgown was a showstopper, and together, she and her groom Christopher looked seriously striking against the forest backdrop at their wedding in Seymour, Tennessee. There was an intimate ceremony, darkly chic style, and a canopy of leaves. Here’s more from the bride herself on how they met and fell in love…

I went into his work for a girls’ day out with a family friend who worked there. He mentioned to my friend that I was cute so she told him he better go talk to me. He slid me his number and told me to call him sometime and things blossomed from there. For our first date, we went to see a new Star Wars movie with the kids.

He proposed on the Fourth of July. We were out doing one of our favorite activities, kayaking. We stopped along one of the beaches for a picnic, and halfway through, his oldest son asked me to come look at something. I get up to see what he wants me to look at, and when I turn around Chris is on one knee.

We chose the wedding date because it is the address of the first house we bought together.
