Destination Elopement at Horseshoe Bend
The canyons, ravines, and valleys found in this week's featured destination wedding are not large enough to match the natural wonder of today's Casablanca Bride love story.
Allyson always thought she had wanted to walk down the aisle in a babydoll silhouette, and when she found Style #2205, her wedding dress dreams came true.
The delicately beaded bodice added feminine interest while the soft tulle skirt cascaded with pure elegance. Light and comfortable, this wedding gown was a perfect choice for an intimate ceremony atop Horseshoe Bend. It was there, atop the highest chasms of the canyon that Allyson said 'I do' to her beloved groom.
Allyson met her groom when she was only eight years old, only to lose touch with him in the year of 2010, as the fate of true love would have it, the star-crossed couple reconnected at a random stoplight four years later.
On the next Christmas holiday after, before the witnesses of close friends and family, Andrew proposed to Allyson in the presence of their closest friends and family.
Allyson and Andrew shared an intimate wedding with closest friends and relatives atop Horseshoe Bend, overlooking the breathtaking scenic view at the center bend of the canyon.
This romantic elopement had little decor and details -- as the destination of the intimate ceremony was all the natural beauty needed to create the perfect ambiance for an unforgettable beginning to the couple's love story as man and wife.
Allyson's favorite wedding moment was her first kiss as Mrs. "When the officiant said, "you may kiss the bride"... all of the people who were at Horseshoe Bend to photograph the sunset started cheering for us. It makes me smile, just thinking about it!"
When sharing advice to future brides, Allyson encourages brides to be true to themselves. "Do what you and your groom want. Don't do something just to please your family or friends... do what is going to make you happiest because it's your day and your wedding!"
It's safe to say that Allyson and Andrew made a striking and unforgettable statement on their most special day.
