It Was Meant To Be | Joy Beth and John

Cheers to the happy couple, Joy Beth and John!

Joy Beth and John first met in high school surrounded by the same group of friends. After running into each other through the next few years they soon realized that their paths were meant to cross and it was as coincidental as they thought. From that moment on, they knew each other were special and it didn’t take long to realize they wanted to be together forever!

When asking the Bride, Joy Beth, what her favorite moment was from her wedding day she said it was simply seeing John, her groom, for the first time while walking down the aisle. The excitement she had to see him was almost unbearable as the beautiful couple did not do a first look, so seeing each other at the end of the aisle would be their first looks! It was the flood of emotions that hit her making that moment one of her stand-out moments from that day and one she will forever cherish.

The bride and groom decided to go for an intimate wedding with a classic feel to it. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they did a lot of re-planning for their special day and with a lot of those changes happening a month prior to their actual wedding date, their guest count dropped significantly. Though they would have loved to celebrate with their original 200+ guests, it was a beautiful day nonetheless with their immediate family and bridal party! The small numbers made their wedding day so intimate and special which is exactly how it should feel. They decided to go with a theme that was complimentary of the unique characteristics of our venue which gave the room such an elegant, classic look. The bride loved her floral décor as it really accentuated the room nicely and played such a huge role in bringing her vision to life here at the Trade Center!
