I + C
Isabella + Chase are one of the sweetest couples that we’ve had the honor of hosting in our space so far! Their spring wedding was one for the books. We got to watch both of their families + their awesome vendor team come together to bring all of their details to life!
I + C met in the spring of 2016 at UT Tyler through Greek life! Here’s their story – “We were friends for a couple of months, and without realizing – we became completely intertwined. It took a little convincing from Chase, but I agreed to give the whole “dating” thing a chance. The transition from friends to a couple was effortless. Meeting at 18/20 years old, we got the opportunity to grow up with each other and experience milestones in a way that did not overwhelm or overshadow the other. We taught each other how to view life from one another’s point of view – and shared all the lessons we learned along the way. In Fall of 2019, we booked a trip to Colorado. We had never had professional pictures done before so we thought this was the perfect time to do it. Unexpectedly, a huge blizzard came through the night before our mountain top pictures. This ended up being the perfect backdrop. In the middle of the session, Chase got on one knee and asked me to marry him. The rest is history!”
Some of the venue’s details that led I + C to choosing E for their BEST DAY EVER included the warm glow of our modern light fixtures + the off-white walls in the chapel, the homey feel of the reception area + the way it felt like they were hosting a big dinner party for 120 of their closest friends + family, and the relaxed atmosphere of our back patio + the string lights that hung over the dance floor!
Something memorable from their wedding day was “the coordination and trust that we had to put into others (decor, bridal party, vendors, etc.) to bring our vision and hard work (diy weddings are no joke lol) all come to life. We watched both sides of our family blend into one, and generations of love and friendship all commune in one place to celebrate one mutual milestone – us.” Watching families + loved ones on both sides come together to celebrate our couples is hands down one of the most special parts of wedding days! Isabella’s biggest piece of advice for those who are currently wedding planning was to remember why you’re celebrating! Stay true to yourselves + celebrate the beginning of your life together in a way that reflects the love that you share with one another! “You don’t want to look back and say “I wish we would have . . .” You want to look back and say “remember when . . .””
Congratulations again to The Millers! Your wedding day couldn’t have come together more beautifully! Thank you for choosing The Emerson to host such a special day! Check out the wonderful vendor team below!
