Kimberly and Charles Tie the Knot
“For just a moment in time, we were just a boy and a girl, running and laughing in the rain on our wedding day.” Mia Sheridan
Every bride has a vision. Some dream up this vision for many years, and others wait for their engagement. Kimberly Echols’ began envisioning her dream wedding about a year before the engagement, and she is glad that she started planning early!
A turnaround of only seven months between visiting Dream Field Farms and her wedding day meant that decisions had to be made quickly. Having her vision in mind allowed Cathy and her team to create Kimberly’s dream wedding. The ceremony was scheduled to take place outside in the garden with the reception taking place in the barn.
However, Mother Nature doesn’t always like our plans! Mid-ceremony, the rain fell. Many brides would see this situation as a negative. But, Cathy and her crew rushed everyone into the barn, relocated the ceremony inside, and then watched the couple share the vows that would bond them together in marriage. True love can not be stopped by rain!
“As a little girl, I thought I would have a small wedding surrounded by my friends and family,” said Kimberly. “When I got engaged I wanted a rustic location that was nice and affordable. We toured Dream Field Farms in January and fell in love with the location. The décor was amazing. The event and location kept the rustic feel that I wanted, even with the rain. Cathy used barrels and wagons to serve the food. My guests all said it was gorgeous!”
“My wedding party was small. My sisters were my bridesmaids. My ‘twin’ sister was my maid of honor. We share the same interests which makes everyone call us ‘twins’ even though we aren’t.”
“A lot of people would have been upset when the rain started pouring halfway through our ceremony. But Cathy kept calm, moved everyone inside, and then set up a beautiful indoor site quickly that we all enjoyed so we could finish the ceremony. I think the intimacy of the indoor venue in the barn made our unity ceremony much more special.”
From getting ready with her sisters to the ceremony to the sparkler send-off, Kimberly had her dream wedding. We are thankful that Kimberly chose to celebrate her marriage with us here at Dream Field Farms!
