When starting to plan our wedding, Tyler and I discussed what we envisioned as the perfect day. That included:
- Quality time to spend with our friends and family
- A location in nature, preferably near water
- More than just the normal 8 hours to celebrate our special day
When we found BMBR, our dreams came true. It is truly a magical escape and we can't wait to share it's beauty with you.
Our wedding weekend will be Thursday August 22nd - Sunday August 25th. Although the ceremony won't take place until Saturday, we hope that you and your family can join us for fun all weekend long. The full Wedding Weekend Timeline is below!
