Holly and Chris held their wedding at Sand Pond, New Hampshire at Holly's late grandparents' house. Her mother's parents built the house in 1963 and growing up, Holly had spent lots of time there. Her parents were married at the lake and she and Chris got engaged there, too. So sweet, right?
Our favorite idea to snag was their “false first look.” They didn't want to see each other before the ceremony, but still wanted to have that first look moment. Enter a totally blind first look with some hand holding and sweet nothings. I'm totally getting Downton Abbey vibes from a certain couple's pre-wedding jitters (no spoilers here!).
Let's peek at their totally faux (but absolutely romantic) first look and a few shots of their vintage meets English garden-style wedding that ended with fireworks…
