A Wedding Day Surprise
In every wedding, a little humor must fall. For Brittni Holliday, her new brother-in-law provided the necessary comic relief. Brittni had spent all of her life “planning” her dream wedding. Of course, the actual planning started only a year before the wedding. But, with fairy tale weddings comes great stress.
“As a little girl, I always dreamed of a fairytale wedding that you see on television with a lot of family, amazing food, and a night full of laughter and fun.”
Brittni’s brother-in-law decided to spice the first look up a bit and add a lot of fun to the event.
He and Brittni conspired. Instead of fiancé Alex seeing Brittni in her dress for the “first look,” Alex got a surprise. Boy, was he surprised. But the few moments of laughter took the stress off and allowed everyone to relax.
For Brittni, wedding planning required a little bit more “planning” since her mom and dad were building a house (during the wedding planning time), moving to Georgia (during the wedding planning time), and selling a house (during the wedding planning time). All of these events are stressful by themselves; however, when you add all four events together, the stress is REAL! So, laughter was definitely a defining moment for this wedding.
When the groom saw Brittni for the first time as she came down the aisle, he was awed by her beauty.
“I thought to myself, that’s the same beautiful girl I fell in love with in the parking lot of Tropical Smoothie. Dang, that’s my wife, that’s my whole world. Thank you God for placing me into a family who has been a blessing to me.”
Brittni was full of emotions herself. “I felt so relieved walking down the aisle knowing that I was about to officially marry the man of my dreams. I couldn’t see anything else around other than my husband standing at the altar waiting for me.”
One visit to Dream Field Farms was all it took for Brittni to know this was “the venue.” “The farm was beautiful and Mrs. Cathy made us feel like family from the second we met her.”
Surrounded by friends, family, and four bridesmaids, Brittni and Alex recited their vows. Co-workers who the couple “clicked” with, friends from softball teams, and guests with a sense of humor completed the picture of their perfect day. “Our guests have constantly said the venue was beautiful . . . there wasn’t a best moment of the day because the whole entire day was the best moment of my life,” exclaimed Brittni. “I would 100% do this day again and every day for the rest of my life.”
Bob Newhart once said, “I think one reason for a successful marriage is laughter. I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage.” Based on the laughter shared at Alex and Brittni’s wedding, their marriage will flourish throughout their lives.
