ALI AND JOE ARE THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW ONLINE DATING IS A REAL CHOICE FOR
THE MODERN COUPLE. THEIR FIRST DATE WAS SUPPOSED TO JUST ENTAIL DRINKS, BUT
DRINKS QUICKLY BECAME DINNER AS THEY DISCOVERED ALL THEY HAD IN COMMON -
INCLUDING OWNING THE SAME EXACT CAR (COLOR AND EVERYTHING).
SOUTHERN VERMONT IS WHERE ALI GREW UP AND MUCH OF HER EXTENDED FAMILY STILL LIVES
THERE, WHICH MADE IT THE OBVIOUS CHOICE FOR HOSTING THEIR WEDDING. THEY LOVED
THAT ST. JOSEPH’S CHURCH WAS LARGE ENOUGH TO HOLD ALL OF THEIR GUESTS, YET STILL
HAD THE COZY CHARM OF VERMONT. A BARN WAS AT THE TOP OF THEIR LIST FOR A VENUE
LOCATION AND FANCY GRADE FARM FIT THE BILL, ALLOWING THE COUPLE TO DECORATE IT
HOWEVER THEY CHOSE AND USE THE GORGEOUS LAND SURROUNDING IT FOR PHOTOS.

THE PONDS AT BOLTON VALLEYBOLTON, VERMONT
PHOTOS BY FLOOR THREE PHOTOGRAPHY
98 | Vermont Bride LOOKBOOK Winter 2015 www.vermontbridemagazine.com
AN OUTDOOR SPORT (RUNNING) IS WHAT
BROUGHT JOHN AND ERIN TOGETHER IN THE BE-
GINNING, SO IT WAS ONLY FITTING THAT IT WAS
IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS THAT JOHN PROPOSED.
ON THE TOP OF A SNOW-COVERED BOLTON
MOUNTAIN, ERIN SAID ‘YES’, THEN THEY SKIED
DOWN THE TRAIL TO THEIR FUTURE.
BOLTON MOUNTAIN WAS A FAVORITE CHILD-
HOOD VACATION FOR ERIN GROWING UP, AND
ALSO THE SETTING FOR THEIR ENGAGEMENT. SO
IT JUST MADE SENSE THAT THEY SHOULD HOST
THEIR RECEPTION IN THE SAME MEMORABLE PLACE.
THE NEARBY, HISTORIC ROUND CHURCH IN RICH-
MOND WAS AN EASY CHOICE FOR THE CEREMONY.

PLANNING A WEDDING IN VERMONT WHILE ERIN FINISHED GRADUATE SCHOOL IN
VIRGINIA WAS QUITE THE CHALLENGE. THANKFULLY, THE COUPLE MOVED TO NEW
HAMPSHIRE A COUPLE OF MONTHS BEFORE THE WEDDING, GIVING THEM TIME TO
FINISH THE LAST DIY DETAILS. PAINTING CORNHOLE BOARDS (CONSTRUCTED BY
ERIN’S DAD), SPRAY PAINTING VASES AND BASKETS, DESIGNING THE PROGRAMS,
AND WRITING THEIR VOWS - IT ALL CAME TOGETHER TO CREATE THE
RUSTIC-CHIC THEME THAT ERIN ENVISIONED.

ERIN AND JOE KNEW THEY WANTED A DESTINATION WEDDING, BUT
AFTER VISITING A FEW TROPICAL LOCALES, THEY REALIZED THE BEACH
THEME WASN’T FOR THEM. LUCKILY, THEY SOON REALIZED THAT
ANOTHER DESTINATION OPTION WAS CLOSER THAN THEY THOUGHT
IN THE LUSH, GREEN MOUNTAINS OF VERMONT.
ONCE THEY SAW THE BREATHTAKING VIEWS OF MT. MANSFIELD, THE
PERFECTLY MANICURED GROUNDS OF THE FARM WITHIN THE LAMOILLE
RIVER VALLEY, AND THE STUNNING WELL-KEPT BARN ITSELF –
THEY KNEW BOYDEN FARM WAS A PERFECT FIT.
