Luis and Minssy 's Wedding in Asheville, North Carolina

The story of our wedding

It's not enough to say that everything was wonderful, because it was beyond what we expected. We chose Triple Falls (located in Asheville, North Carolina) to exchange our vows. We drove up from Florida with a few family members and stayed in a cabin near Cedar Mountain. The morning of the wedding we both woke up and separated ourselves so we could have that experience of not seeing each other before the wedding. I was getting dressed and ready, all while having butterflies from all the excitement. Hiding from the groom, I walked into my parent’s car and drove off to our destination. Once we got there, the groom saw me with the biggest small, and helped me walk all the way to the falls. We couldn't keep our eyes off of each other.

It was time to begin the ceremony. My step children walked in front of me as the flower girl and ring bearer, and I followed with my father. He passed me on, and the biggest moment of our lives was about to begin. The officiant began and the groom and I just looked at each other’s eyes and smiled. Once it was time, we read to each other our personal vows, and I followed it with a vow to his children. At this moment, our guest was in tears, and so were we.
