Wedding Wednesday: Sara + Allen Cleveland // March 12, 2016

Sara + Allen Cleveland // March 12, 2016

These two met through a mutual friend and had their very first date on Valentine’s Day which just so happened to be around the time of the snowmageddon of 2014! Sara had been trapped at her apartment for nearly a week until Allen asked her to go out with him the morning of Valentine’s day. Sara was reluctant at first seeing as it was Valentine’s day and they had never met or seen each other in person before. They decided to still go and dinner went so well they went on their next day just two days later.

Allen would always say to Sara, “I’ll love you forever.” Well Sara was not so sure because she did not have a ring yet, and would joke around with Allen about when that moment would be and that she would not believe him until then. One night the two were sitting on the couch watching TV when Allen once again told Sara, “I’ll love you forever.” Once again Sara did her same questioning and Allen made an excuse to leave the room and go downstairs. When he returned, he pulled out a ring box and said to Sara, “How about now?”.

“I was completely shocked and yelled, “WHAT!?” at which point he then said, “Will you marry me?” said Sara. 

"I knew it would never be something over the top because that doesn't fit our personality," said Sara. "The intimacy of our proposal was perfect for us!"

Sara did not really have a specific look in mind for her big day, but once she saw The Wheeler House, she knew that it would give off the perfect amount of sophistication and elegance without having to add too much detail on her own.

“The foundation of what is given at The Wheeler House is breathtakingly beautiful,” said Sara.

With Sara being in graduate school and Allen being in law school, they started their wedding planning early and made sure to space out the planning and major purchases.

“Planning ahead and spreading out the planning is what kept me sane throughout the wedding planning!” said Sara.

Their favorite moment of their beautiful day here at The Wheeler House was getting to spend it with their loved ones. They had many guests travel from different states to be a part of their special day.

Once the wedding was over, the two headed to a remote location in Mexico called Riveria Maya. They really wanted to go somewhere that was not very touristy so they could relax and enjoy the week with each other.

Sara & Allen,

You two were such a pleasure to work with! We can’t thank you enough for letting us be a part of your big day and we wish you so much happiness as you start your lives together!

With love,
The Wheeler House Team
