Emotions were flowing on Saturday as Nellia and Brian were joined in marriage. You could just feel the excitement in the cool early fall air all around Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire as these two prepped for their big day. Surrounded by their dearest friends and family members the countdown was on until Nellia’s hayride to the ceremony site, where she would meet her groom. It was all so very romantic!!!
Tumbledown Farms was a stunning backdrop for their relaxed, yet classy affair. I was so impressed with how Nellia and Brian made this day so unique. Her amazing planning skills were put to work as she compiled what seemed like a million little details to make this day all their own. From books filled with tokens of their love story, cuddly blankets for their guests, candies, treats, succulents, and freezer jam favors – she thought of it all! The classic white table cloths, custom acrylic table numbers, and fresh local flowers were gorgeous accents to this rustic barn.
Once dressed and ready Nellia took a few moments for a “first look” with her dad. The joy on his face and the tears she and her mother shed were so tender and it just showed how much this family loves one another.
Brian’s parents and siblings also were a very loving bunch. They were all so excited for him and proud to stand by his side. Brian’s sister is the one to thank for bringing he and Nellia together!!! Of course…she doesn’t want any accolades for that, but we are going to definitely give Melissa props for life! Brian’s brother gave an amazing speech during the reception, talking about their childhood and the awesome man Brian is today. You can tell he loves his younger brother!
As the ceremony began, the anticipation mounted and Brian was overcome when he saw his bride! We all had goosebumps!!! Their personal vows, sand ceremony containing dirt and sand from places they have been together, and beautiful music celebrated their union and the foundation in which they built their relationship. Brian’s friend officiated and shared about the importance of marriage and the joy he shared in knowing Brian had found “the one!”
What a perfect pair – a perfect day – and a perfect place to celebrate!!! Congrats Nellia & Brian, I wish you the best!
