The simple yet elegant wedding proved to be a very memorable one in our minds! The two Georgia natives had a ton of uniqueness and we love that factor here at the Wheeler House!

Tyler and Caitlin met on match.com. After two months of getting to know each other, they both agreed it was finally time to meet! Their first date was the steakhouse Stoney River. Immediately, Caitlin thought, “Man this guy is a real catch!” They enjoyed a delicious dinner and the rest was history.

Two years of more dates and falling in love, Tyler decided it was time to propose. He took her to Stoney River to mimic their first unforgettable date. On the way home, Caitlin could not wait to change into her favorite pair of sweats and watch a movie. To her surprise, when they walked in the front door, the apartment was dark and only the flickering of candles casted light onto the walls. A path of rose petals paved her way to the future. At the end of the path, tea candles were arranged to spell out “Will You Marry Me?” When she saw the note, she was ecstatic. Tyler dropped down on one knee and asked for her hand in marriage. Their whole lives changed and they began to plan their forever together.

A love story like this is not one that happens often. To accompany their love story, they decided that they would shoot for sophisticated southern charm in terms of their venue. They admired the double front porch at our house and just fell in love with the barn. The hanging chandeliers and string lights made their wedding that much more magical.

Both being from Georgia, they did not want to have a traditional guest book. Instead, Tyler shaped a piece of plywood into the shape of the state of Georgia to accompany a bowl of peaches - how sweet! 

To the bride and groom, their most memorable part of their wedding was the ceremony. Their favorite part was seeing each other for the first time as Caitlin made her way down the aisle. Having the positive energy from their friends and family made all the nervous jitters go away. All the stress and the worrying of everything coming together perfectly vanished.

“We wouldn’t have changed one thing about our wedding day!” said Caitlin. 

For their honeymoon, they decided to go to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic where they spent their time there relaxing and soaking up the sun as husband and wife. Tyler, who had never left the country, was happy to finally get a stamp in his passport book.

Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Kiefaber!
