AND THE BEST MOMENT AT THE ALTAR AWARD GOES TO: 🥇 @angelakadencephotography @watersjl2019 🧊 ICE, ICE BABY! Honorable mentions: 🥈 @alisha_hendley @hendleymichael22 🥉 @coachtrainor32 @philaholleyopolis Thank you everyone who participated and joined me on this trip down memory lane. I know it was a long ride but there were too many great photos. Be thankful I narrowed it to 25. 😝 It’s taken me a long time to accept that I need to let go of my baby, Happily Ever Asheville, but it’s time. HEA was born out of heartbreak, desperation, and loss. Through witnessing OVER 400 LOVE STORIES, I’ve regained my faith in humanity and live on as a hopeful romantic. 🤣 I’m not dissolving HEA and will continue to offer day-of coordination on a small scale. For now, I’m prioritizing expanding my private practice, work-life balance, and community service. I’m going to continue posting fun photos from the past four years so continue to follow if you wanna see cute dogs and silly faces. In 2024, I challenge you to live in love with intention. Falling in love is easy. Staying in love takes effort. I hear it’s worth it. 😉 Sending HUGE hugs, Amanda I’ll be DMing the winner for next steps on receiving your @harryanddavid gift set!

Vote for Patrick + Holley! Married 8/14/2021 I can't say, "I saved the best for last" because that would be bias. But you can't deny this is a good one.

Vote for Danielle + Joe! Married 9/14/2019 I dunno what this laugh was about (probably something Joe said in his vows) but I do know that their first date started with coffee, nerding out on dinosaurs, a lot of blisters after walking 5 miles...and a little spark of excitement. ✨ 4 years later they’re celebrating their daughter’s 1st bday!

Vote for Meg & Bonnie! Married 12/21/2022 Photography: @sparksintheforest Finally a spicy moment! This first kiss gives even a Carolina reaper a run for its money. 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Like this photo to VOTE for these two to win BEST MOMENT AT THE ALTAR [See full giveaway rules on previous post.] ✨ And while I have you here, let’s be intentional. 🌑 Today is winter solstice — the seasonal dark night of the soul. Spiritually, it’s a time to honor both the light and the darkness that resides within each of us. Think about your partner and all the reasons you love them. All of the bright days you’ve shared thus far. Allow your heart to be filled with gratitude for what they bring to your life. In contrast, it’s the darkest moments that have shown you who will be there to hold your hand. To remind you there’s hope in a world that can sometimes be cruel. Today is an opportunity to show your partner your appreciation for them. It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture. It’s often the small things that mean a great deal. 🌞 It may be the darkest night, but the light is returning. And together you can set intentions to make your dreams come true. 🌙 Happy Solstice.

Vote for Kylie + Wayde! Married 9/1/2020 “The Toot” **Volume up for this fav!** Kylie and Wayde will NEVER forget their ceremony. 🍑💨 I tried to ignore it but it was too hilarious. I’ve since honed in on my public speaking skills and would handle this situation much differently now. I was such a baby officiant back then. 🥹 Photographer: @meganmorales Couple: @kylierdenning + @waydedenning

Vote for Sarah + Max! Married 11/5/2022 Pretty sure I wrapping up the ceremony with something like, "You've come here today of your own freewill" and then one of their parents chuckled...to which I had some witty retort. It was consensual as far as I know. 😆🤣 Like this photo to VOTE for these two to win BEST MOMENT AT THE ALTAR [See full giveaway rules on previous post.] Venue: @sherrillsinn Photography: @jameykayandarlie Planner/Reception: @reverieasheville Floral: @carolinaflowrs Bride: @sooechsle

Vote for Calie + Andrew! Married 11/6/2021 It was the week of Calie's wedding and she hadn't heard from her officiant whom she had booked for a customized ceremony. This was odd. She'd made several attempts to get in touch by phone, text, email, facebook...nothing. Laura reached out to me to let me know what was going on and we were able to make this happen. So glad I was able to support these two in tying the knot. Their ceremony turned out to be one for the books. i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart) Like this photo to VOTE for these two to win BEST MOMENT AT THE ALTAR [See full giveaway rules on previous post.] Photography: @sparksintheforest Bride: @calieann
