Meredith + brantley Step into the limelight | The birchwood | St. Petersburg, FL

a little something about our Meredith & Brantley…

How did he propose: (From Meredith's POV:) We were celebrating our third anniversary. As fans of wine and big band music, we decided to spend our anniversary at a Great Gatsby-themed NY Eve party at a vineyard/hotel outside of Atlanta, where we were living at the time (Chateau Elan). We went with another couple, who apparently was in on an even bigger surprise. Brantley had planned a proposal with the hotel staff - with roses and rose petals covering the hotel room, I walked into our room to see a bottle of champagne and two champagne glasses. When Brantley asked me to look at the champagne bottle, I noticed that there was a question printed on the bottle: "Will You Marry Me?". Completely surprised, I turned around to see Brantley on his knee holding a ring!!

What do you love about each other: Meredith: Brantley will put others before himself, always. He is selfless, empathetic, thoughtful, and aware. Brantley understands how important family and friends are to me, and constantly encourages us to go and visit the people that mean the most to us - one example of how he always puts others first :) He is funny, always finding ways to make me laugh even if I'm having a less-than-ideal day. He is kind and constantly challenges himself to be a better person - inspiring me to do and be better.
Brantley: Meredith makes me want to be the best version of myself. She is smart, passionate, and driven, and inspires everyone around her. She has pushed me (in a good way!) to want to lead a healthier life. She also introduced me to travel, and now one of our favorite things to do is to go explore new places either around Tampa Bay or outside of Florida.

These two were swooning the whole day… they just simply LOVE being together and that was felt around.
Their intimate ceremony at The Birchwood was perfectly filled with laughter and special moments are Meredith said their I do’s. They planned each aspect of their wedding day together, from selecting the music style to hand-selecting each flower {yes ladies, you read it correctly!}. Each detail shared their love story together and we are ALL here for it!

Meredith & Brantley… thank you so much for having us be a part of your LOVE STORY…
We wish you ALL the best in ALL you do..

xoxo
