We wanted to the day to feel relaxed <span class=\"il\">and<\/span> intimate. My brother got married behind my childhood house, <span class=\"il\">and<\/span> I loved the feeling. But, living in a city, we don&rsquo;t know many people with houses, let alone yards big enough for a party. The Vine Hill House is at a vineyard, but the venue is essentially a backyard behind a nice house. Cozy, with a beautiful view through the vineyards.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-566798\"

<span class=\"il\">Natalie<\/span> <span class=\"il\">and<\/span> I stood up together after dinner <span class=\"il\">and<\/span> I made it about half-way before the emotions caught up with me. Every time I got choked up though, Nat gave me a big kiss to help me keep going.

My family in the front row were all gripping each others arms <span class=\"il\">and<\/span> crying. It was a powerful reminder of why we were having a wedding, <span class=\"il\">and<\/span>why all these people were there. Not just to watch us get married, but to go through the experience with us. I felt so confident, supported, <span class=\"il\">and<\/span> just happier than I&rsquo;ve ever been, standing there next to <span class=\"il\">Cody<\/span>, his dad marrying us, <span class=\"il\">and<\/span> the most important people in my life right there with us.
