Last week I was getting excited and in my head I skipped a week. Even rushed to get things done and final preparations. But then saw it wasn't time.... it is still set for June 6th. Now is the time for the final preparations. We will be at the lake this week off and on to get an idea on how things will be set up. If you catch one of us out there feel free to say hi. Ask questions. Even set a time if you want to.

7 days left until we have the free weddings at Newton Lake. We know there won't be very many people to show because this is going to be our first. That being said we will still decorate so who does show will still have a somewhat beautiful wedding. We are currently working on different ceremony types to hopefully fit anything couple who wants more than a civil ceremony.

This is something that has been a few years in making, a labor of love. Even if you don't plan on being married you can feel free to come out and see what has been thrown together and visit forca while.

Got the arches redone for the free wedding day at Newton Lake on June 6th. Come by and see for yourself that day. I have other ideas. Again thank you to everyone who has donated to help make this possible. I will send you photos of your items being used on the day. I hope your heart is as happy as mine is right now.

Rural Weddings – Our Story
Rural Weddings was built on a simple belief—beautiful weddings don’t have to be expensive to be meaningful.
The heart behind this began with my mother-in-law, who created a stunning wedding for my husband and me with just $300. It was proof that with intention, creativity, and love, you can create something truly special without overspending.
Rural Weddings focuses on rustic elegance with a farmhouse feel—natural tones, soft details, and thoughtfully designed spaces that feel both relaxed and refined. Every setup is created to feel personal, welcoming, and genuine.
As an ordained officiant, I’m able to not only design the space, but also stand with couples as they say their vows—making the experience more personal, seamless, and meaningful from beginning to end.
A few times each year, any remaining funds after expenses are set aside to give back. These are used to provide free wedding days for couples who already have their marriage license but don’t have the means to create a beautiful ceremony. I provide the décor, the setting, and a space where they can celebrate their commitment in a meaningful way.
Because everyone deserves a wedding day that feels just as special as the love it represents.
