Our Wedding

The story begins in 2014, when Michelle and Ryan roamed the halls of Villa Rica High School just a year apart. Fate, or perhaps just elective scheduling placed them in the same Graphic Design class at West Georgia Technical College. There, their first friendship bloomed. They shared jokes, swapped stories, and even attended a gaming party together after Michelle bravely invited Ryan. Their time together was short but memorable, and though they drifted apart afterward, the universe clearly wasn’t done with them yet.Several years passed with neither giving the other much thought—until one day when Ryan dropped a few subtle hints that he wanted to reconnect. Michelle, however, made the first bold move and reached out. They soon met up, enjoying each other’s company with an ease that felt both new and familiar. Before long, they decided to make their relationship official on October 20, 2017.Eight wonderful years have passed since that day, filled with countless memories and adventures. Michelle introduced Ryan to the Renaissance Festival for the first time, and they both quickly fell in love with the lively atmosphere and endless sights. Together, they explored nature trails, climbed mountains just for the thrill of it, and supported each other as they graduated from college. They even purchased a home together long before planning a wedding.It took some time for the all-important question to be asked, but here they are now, preparing to unite their lives in an eternal bond. Every step of their journey has led them to this moment, and they are grateful for the love and memories that brought them here.

Wedding Party

Guests are invited to embrace a style that blends the rustic charm of medieval Europe. Imagine handcrafted textures, earthy tones, flowing fabrics, and subtle touches of romance.For Women:Long, flowing gowns are the heart of the medieval style, dresses in natural fabrics like linen, cotton, or soft-washed velvet. Earthy hues such as deep greens, warm browns, burgundy, muted gold, and soft cream are encouraged. Embroidery, lace trim, and braided details add a touch of medieval craftsmanship. Sleeves may be bell-shaped or gently draped, and skirts may feature layers that move gracefully when walking. Floral crowns, braided hairstyles, and simple gemstone jewelry complete the look. A shawl or cloak in a rich color adds warmth and authenticity. We have a color palette pictured.For Men:Men may wear tunics of linen or wool in natural tones: forest green, slate grey, russet, or midnight blue; paired with trousers or leggings. Leather belts, laced boots, and simple cloaks provide a classic medieval silhouette. Shirts with slight gathering at the sleeves or lace-up collars. Vests or sleeveless surcoats in earthy colors can be added for texture and depth. Minimal jewelry such as leather bracelets or simple pendants fits well within the theme.Accessories &amp; Touches:– Natural materials: wood, leather, stone, feathers, and dried flowers are encouraged.– Cloaks, capes, or shawls bring warmth and drama.– Colors should feel inspired by forests, fields, and old-world craftsmanship. Please look at the color palette.– Nothing should look overly polished; the charm is in the handcrafted, slightly rustic feel.Links to some Outfits:Renaissance Costume Women Ren Faire Medieval Dress for Women - Amazon - <a href="https://tinyurl.com/39svv32r" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/39svv32r</a>Spirit Halloween Adult Floral Medieval Maiden Dress Costume - Amazon - <a href="https://tinyurl.com/ex5n948u" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/ex5n948u</a>Mytholon Apron Dress - <a href="https://tinyurl.com/nhhyraz7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/nhhyraz7</a>Medieval Collectibles:<a href="https://www.medievalcollectibles.com/product-category/costumes/mens-costumes/mens-costume-capes-robes/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Men's Costume Capes &amp; Robes for Halloween - Medieval Collectibles</a><a href="https://www.medievalcollectibles.com/product/wizard-robe-and-cloak-set/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wizard Robe and Cloak Set - Medieval Collectibles</a><a href="https://www.medievalcollectibles.com/product/ranger-mens-outfit/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Medieval Ranger Mens Outfit - Medieval Collectibles</a><a href="https://www.medievalcollectibles.com/product/mens-medieval-faire-outfit/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Men’s Medieval Faire Outfit I Complete Look I Customizable</a><a href="https://www.medievalcollectibles.com/product/mens-peasant-fantasy-outfit/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Men's Peasant Fantasy Outfit</a><a href="https://www.medievalcollectibles.com/product/simple-medieval-outfit/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Simple Medieval Outfit</a><a href="https://www.medievalcollectibles.com/product/bastian-medieval-peasant-outfit/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bastian Medieval Peasant Outfit |Complete Attire</a>
