Matt & Megan Fallow June 21, 2010


Matt and Megan were married in a tiny town in South Carolina, not too far from where they both grew up together. The wedding ceremony was held at a historic bed a breakfast in Westminster, SC called Magnolia Manor. With a 100 foot magnolia tree towering over the two story house, it was a beautiful backdrop for a perfect southern wedding. On the back lawn, all 150 guets were seated in white chairs, each lining up to sign the guest book before they were seated. Megan had her first glimpse of Matt waiting for her at the alter when she stepped out from the back of the house with her father. From the top of set of stairs, she and Matt smiled widely at each other in their excitement. She was guided arm and arm down the stairwell, lacced with purple flowers. Her father proudly gave her away at the wedding alter.

The thirty minute wedding ceremony consisted of the Unity Candle, lit by the mothers of the families, a good friend sang a song of love and blessings, and of course their vows of devotion to each other. It was a touching wedding ceremony lit by the dappled lighting of the surrounding trees, with the couple underneath a large trellace.

After the wedding ceremony, the newlyweds, their family, and the wedding party made their way to the front lawn for portraits. The family portraits were made in the traditional style of the British Royalty, with the historic manor perched just behind them. When the larger group portraits were completed, the couple spent another 30 minutes on portraits. On the breathtaking grounds of the manor, the couple swang on a wooden swing under a large oak, they walked through a green valley between two towering trees, and they made their way through a rock-filled drive. A perfect place for a perfect day to remember.

The reception was short and meaningful, starting with the cake cutting, then moving on to the groom's cake, toasts, and the first dances. The highlight of the afternoon was when the couple made their way down the bubble-filled walkway to their get away car. A bright orange Cuda convertible with black racing stripes. They hopped in the back seat of the car & peeled out down the road, waving to all of their guests who watched on as they left.
