Wedding Wednesday: Kellie + Michael Tapp // April 3, 2016

Kellie + Michael Tapp // April 3, 2016

 
 How They Met
Kellie and Michael both attended Lee University in Chattanooga, Tennessee where they first met each other. Kellie was interested in joining Greek Life and Michael just so happened to be leading one of Kellie's interviews. As he was going through the list of interview questions, he got to this one, “If you were stranded on an island with one of us guys, who would you choose?” Kellie ended up choosing him because she thought he was cute and funny. This led to the beginning of this sweet couples love story.
                                                               The Engagement
Kellie graduated college on May 8, 2015 and was told by Michael that he had a special gift for her. She was blindfolded with a yellow bandana and was taken to an empty room in the Music Building. Once she got there, he took the bandana off and explained to her that he had chosen yellow because it was the color scarf she was wearing when they first met during the interview. Kellie also noticed that the room they were standing in was the same room the interview took place.  Michael went on to tell Kellie how much he loved her and that he was so sorry he couldn’t give her what she really wanted, a ring. He handed her a gold heart necklace instead and the two went on their way.

As they were walking to their car, Michael stopped at Kellie’s freshmen dorm. She reminded him that it was where he first asked her to be his girlfriend and told her he loved her. Michael then got down on one knee and presented Kellie with the present she really wanted, a ring and the question she had been waiting for! Kellie was so excited she knocked the box out of his hand, started crying and immediately said yes!

  The Wedding
For their wedding, Kellie really wanted the over all feel to be country chic and formal. She would drive by The Wheeler House on her way to her parents, and it would always catch her eye. She ended up choosing The Wheeler House because the property fit the look she was going for. 

When it came time for wedding planning and finalizing details, Kellie really wanted her bouquet to be special and sentimental. She had it wrapped in a 67-year-old hankie that her grandmother and great grandmother both used on their wedding days and pinned it with a beautiful hand painted broach from her great grandfather.


           
Another unique detail Kellie brought to her wedding was their wedding favors. Since they both met in Tennessee, they decided to give Moon Pies as their favors since they originated in Tennessee. She also had a cute sign sitting next to the pies that said, “I love you to the moon and back.”



“When people say they want their dream wedding, that is something I definitely got to share with with all of my friends and family,” said Kellie. “It was incredible to experience such a perfect day.”

                                                        The Honeymoon
For the honeymoon, the two wanted to go somewhere out of the country, close to the beach and all inclusive. They chose the Excellence Playa Mujeres in Cancun after doing tons of research and chatting with friends.

“The best part of our honeymoon was getting to spend time together in such a beautiful paradise,” said Kellie. “We were catered to constantly and it was really nice being treated like a king and queen for a week!”


Kellie & Michael,
           
It was such an honor and privilege to work with you both and to be a part of your beautiful, special day. We wish you both the absolute best in life!

With Love,
The Wheeler House Team
