Anne & Rod’s Wedding
Cheekwood, Nashville Tennessee
Here’s the beautiful thing about Rod and Anne: they know who they are and they know who they love. When life is lived in that realm of surety, it has more room for wonderful, and less for all else.
Rod and Anne’s love is steady and sweet. Confident and kind. Not a pendulum to drastically swing, but a rhythm to hum along and tap a foot to.
Their gorgeous fall wedding day played out accordingly. People who know what they want tend to plan well. Anne, a gifted landscape architect, outdid herself designing the reception aesthetic: fall-colored florals and greenery designed with her skilled, creative eye, with the help of the experts at Modern Vintage Events. Custom lighting overhead was the icing on (above) the cake.
Anne stunned in her elegant wedding gown, paired with long pearl dot earrings and a bouquet of perfect pops of pink.
Rod was handsome, too, in a fall-appropriate shade of black suit, a white vest and tie, and a pocket square he said Anne would approve.
What a pair they were and are together - bright, lovely, and worthy of celebrating.
Many loved ones gathered to do just that in one of Nashville’s finest settings. Cheekwood’s Wills Perennial Garden was in full bloom as a 6-piece band played for their ceremony. Anne’s entrance wowed us all and Rod beamed. The officiant gathered flowers brought in by each guest, a symbol of unity, growth, and support. Their vows were sincerely shared. They drowned out some neighboring noise, as love does so well, and became husband and wife, surrounded by a world of beauty.
Their reception was as lively as could be, full of music, fine dining, thoughtful words, and dancing. Anne graced the stage with a live performance of her own and Rod still beamed, this time wearing a feather boa while admiring his dancing queen. It was a night to be remembered for a couple in love and easy to enjoy.
Rod and Anne, your love is an inspiring song and we adored your day. Thanks for inviting us along!
