This Boho Ohio Wedding Takes Place on the River: The Real Wedding of Samantha & Cody Stapleton

Love struck Samantha when she met Cody at work. The two were both servers at a local brewery as they went to college. A fast friendship developed, and soon they were inseparable! During the couple’s first trip away together to Gatlinburg, Cody popped the question on top of the couple’s woodside cabin balcony at sunset. Can it get any dreamier than that?

Samantha knew in her heart that she wanted a fall wedding. The setting by the river makes a lovely place to say “I do”!

Samantha’s gown was a new arrival, and she was the very first to try it on! “It was an instant 'yes!'” she gushes.

What we love

This couple made many unconventional decisions, but it only added to the uniqueness of their day. From the whiskey barrel guestbook to popcorn favors, we love a couple who knows how to stay true to themselves to make their day the very best!

Advice from the couple

Samantha urges couples not to stress out too much about the planning process. She says, “It’s hard to do when you want every detail to be perfect, but when the day finally comes it’ll be the moment that you remember – not the small details!”
