TEASER FROM MAY
Julie and Brandon are two of the kindest people in the world. It’s a beautiful miracle that through various circumstances and truly One Amazing God brought them together. Their wedding day/celebration originally was planned for May of 2020; however, because of COVID-19, they realized that they weren’t going to be able to carry out that original plan. Yet wanting to begin life together as a married couple, they went ahead and got married in May and postponed the celebration with others until September. It’s not what they had planned, but through it all, it was beautiful to see their joy and the support from those they love.
It was a misty morning in May when Julie and Brandon got ready to make the forever commitment of matrimony to one another. The quaint little "Chapel on the Mountain" was a beautiful setting to have their small and sweet ceremony. Surrounded by their families, Julie and Brandon said their vows and made their commitments to each other known to God and to those they were closest to. During the reception, they were presented with a video from their extended families and friends wishing them well and showing their happiness and support for them. It was such a blessing to see Julie and Brandon covered in such love by those in their lives.
Now, fast forward to September. They were at another altar in front of more people with their bridal party gathered around. This time it was at the Monte Sano State Park with a gorgeous mountain view set behind them. They didn’t renew their vows, but they graciously invited those who were there to celebrate with them just like they would if they had gotten married that day. Their friends and families agreeably complied. They danced, they cheered, they ate a lovely dinner and cake and danced some more. It was a wonderful evening to celebrate the happy couple. Again, it was not what they originally planned, but it was still amazing and sweet.
Julie and Brandon got married on May 23, 2020, at the "Chapel on the Mountain" in Huntsville, Alabama. They celebrated their marriage on September 6, 2020, at Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville, Alabama.
