It all started at a rental car agency almost 10 years ago. Maybe not the most romantic setting in which to meet your future spouse, but it did the job for Heather and Brad. They were both working at the agency and became fast friends, soon spending most of their free time with each other. When Brad had an unexpected medical emergency, Heather realized she didn’t ever want to be without him. They’ve been together and best friends ever since. That’s what we love about their love – it’s totally based on friendship. It’s easy to see how much these two care for each other.

Heather and Brad traveled from South Dakota to be married at Chico Hot Springs on August 13, a beautiful (albeit quite warm) day. The intimate occasion involved only their closest family and friends, including their handsome son Dylan, who was super psyched about the occasion. Heather’s mother (love her!) made all of the stunning decorations and then transported them all the way from Tennessee. It was truly a labor of love. After the dinner reception, everyone went off to change into more comfy clothes and relax for the rest of the evening at the resort…now that’s our kind of wedding!

Heather, Brad and Dylan, you three make a beautiful, loving family. Thank you for giving us such a special glimpse of it!
