You and I were born not a second too soon
Hanging on a vine in the vineyard moon
Oh how soon I turn and say
You’re my everything and everything to me
And I will carry the weight
Carry by Ryan Montbleau
Alexis + John swayed together for their first dance as husband and wife while their favorite singer, Ryan Montbleau, sang their favorite song, “Carry.” While we walked around the property of the beautiful Inn at West Settlement in Roxbury, NY I asked the two of them how long it took to set everything up. “Two years,” John quickly replied. John asked Alexis to marry him in a tent at a music festival and they quickly decided to carry that vibe over to their wedding day. With wildflowers, pizza, good music, fire dancers (including John’s brother who is the fire breather pictured below!) and a whole lot of gin they captured it perfectly.
By the way, Alexis + John weren’t too sure about the idea of a first look. Instead, they spent a moment together before the ceremony to relieve some anxiety but still avoided seeing one another to keep the walk down the aisle a surprise. A great solution for those who aren’t sure what they want to do!
