Evan and Chantey's Wedding in Cathedral City, California

The story of our wedding

Evan and I had met at church, we both volunteered in Childrens ministry. We often worked around each other but never actually meeting. Until we had a work day at our church for Easter and we painted a room together. Then our romance slowly began.

Evan eventually proposed in the very room we had painted together. He turned the circles that we painted together into balloons and made the room an "Up" themed proposal, surprising the bride with her family and friends downstairs waiting for the newly engaged couple.

We got married in the church that we had met it. Instead of doing a first look, we did a “blind” first look, meaning we wouldn't “see” each other, but held hands and shared a prayer with each other before the ceremony. in the room we had first met.

Our wedding theme was simply elegant christmas. Roses adorned the church pews, and flowed through the church from the foyer to the front of the church. Since it was close to Christmas season, the ballroom at Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa where the reception took place was a Christmas magical feel. With Christmas trees twinkling so bright, gorgeous red florals, beautiful tabletop decor, and enchanting lighting, the reception space made you feel like you entered a Christmas magical land!
