If you've been following our blog for a while, you might remember Heidi and Mike from their engagement photos last Fall, but before I get to their wedding, I need to back up a little further. The first time I met Heidi, Dan was out of town. So, Heidi came over to the house to meet just me. We ended up chatting for a really long time about wedding plans, Italy, and basically you name it. I felt bad because our 12-year old dog, Blue, especially liked Heidi and was all over her the whole time. He could not help himself from standing near her, laying at her feet, nuzzling up against her... the whole time.... and she let him and even acted like she enjoyed petting him (which is saying a lot because he's kind of breathy, stinky and sheds all over the place).
So, fast-forward to the day before their wedding... When we got to Chattanooga Heidi handed us this little weclome bag and said with a wink, 'There's something for Mr. Blue in there." Now how sweet is that? I mean, it's not like she didn't have a lot on her mind and there she was thinking of Blue!!!! I just thought I'd tell that little story so you could get an idea of how KIND Heidi and Mike are. And for the record, Blue was very happy when we got home --- he didn't mind us being gone one bit when we came home with all of those yummy treats :)
Back to the wedding, Heidi and Mike were married on the patio of the Maclellan House, which is located in the Bluff View Arts District in Chattanooga, TN. It's a historic area that overlooks the Tennessee River -- there are restaurants, a coffee house, an art gallery, a sculpture garden, three old houses that make up an inn and the whole thing looks very Europeanish. It's really cool and a great spot for a small intimate wedding, which is exactly what Heidi and Mike accomplished.
To give you more of an idea about how intimate this wedding was, here is a picture of everyone who was there.... I love it!! Dan and I had a small wedding too!!
Let me just set the stage a little........ And, check out that fun Groom's cake at the bottom!!

This is one of my favorites! So sweet!!
Heidi's best-friend Dana did the ceremony and did a great job!! It was sooo sweet and I'm pretty sure she's the one who originally introduced Heidi and Mike too....
A great kiss!!
See what I mean about it looking European?! I especially like the one on the right.
