Elopement in Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Jodi and Jimmy


Secluded Gatlinburg Creekside Wedding at Ely's Mill

Jimmy and I had been looking at homes to rent and I was getting scared about signing a lease. I knew I couldn't afford it alone and was terrified. I had a mini meltdown in my garage. Jimmy went to his truck, I thought he was leaving , but he got something out then came back to me. He dropped to one knee and held out the ring. He had planned on proposing on a mountain in New Mexico the following week, but he felt I needed the reassurance at that moment in my garage. We signed the lease that afternoon. Jimmy is someone who always does what he says he will do. His honesty and those blue eyes will always get to my heart.

We have always loved the mountains and have been all over the US. But we had never been to the Smoky Mountains. We wanted to go somewhere that was new to both of us to start our journey as husband and wife. I Googled so many different places and read all the reviews. New Beginnings had everything we were looking for. With us living out of state, we wanted everything as stress free as possible.
