Describe the proposal:

We planned to celebrate our 2-yr first date anniversary by going to a nice dinner. We had decided we weren’t exchanging gifts, but I had a little something for Jason and let him know the day of that I would have a gift for him. He faked astonishment and admitted that he had “a little something” for me, too. When I got to his house, there were roses on the table and I thought, “Well, isn’t this nice!” Little did I know that before we left for dinner, he would propose with the sweetest card and most beautiful ring I had ever seen.

After smiles, hugs, tears and kisses, I called my parents to let them know the big news! It was so special to find out that Jason had spent the day before driving to Knoxville to talk to my parents!

Tell us about your wedding music choices (ceremony, first dance, etc)

I seated my mom to “What a Wonderful World” after we lit a torch in memory of my dad. That was one of his favorite songs.

We recessed to the “Tennessee Waltz” because that’s our State Song, and our relationship began in the halls of the state capitol.

Any unexpected surprises on the day-of?

We knew that the grounds where we got married were beautiful, but when everything was in place and the flowers were added, it was even more beautiful than we had imagined.

We were also pretty amazed and very touched that so many of our friends and family took the time and made the effort to be there to celebrate with us.

Lindsay wanted to be surprised for our first dance. I chose “Crazy Love” by Van Morrison because, in addition to being a great song, it describes the way she loves with her whole being and the way she makes everything better!

What next for you as a couple?

Making a home together and living happily ever after!
