Madi and Jordan’s springtime elopement at Chapel in the Hollow was a beautiful blend of elegance and heartfelt intimacy.
They created a cozy, romantic atmosphere with white and hunter green drapery, accented by vibrant orange and pink blooms, soft candlelight, classic lanterns, and fresh fern wreaths that added texture and charm.
Madi looked radiant in a long-sleeved gown with a nude and white palette and an elegant train flowing behind her. Jordan’s all-black look, complete with a gold tie clip, added a modern edge and perfectly complemented the setting.
To make the day even more personal, they brought a cake all the way from Athens, TN, and shared a touching toast before heading into their portrait session. Their joy was contagious — they were relaxed, glowing, and genuinely thrilled to be getting married.
With candlelight reflecting their love, the evening felt truly magical. Congratulations, Madi and Jordan! Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories together.
From the Bride:
Jordan and I first became friends back in 2015. Life took us in different directions for a while, but in 2023, we reconnected — and this time, it just felt right. For our first date, we went to First Watch in Chattanooga for breakfast. Even though we already knew each other, I was so nervous when we sat down!
Jordan proposed on June 6, 2024. He told me he’d been carrying the ring around for days before finally popping the question on a scenic drive along the Cherohala Skyway in Tellico. He pulled over, asked me to marry him, and I squealed so loud he thought something had snuck up behind him — but it was the easiest “yes” of my life.
We’re both East Tennessee fans through and through. I’m originally from Newport, and Jordan’s from western Kentucky, but we now live in Athens. We fell in love with Chapel in the Hollow after discovering it on TikTok and knew immediately that it was the perfect place for us.
We were excited to exchange our own vows and have a meaningful, relaxed ceremony. April was the month we both felt drawn to, so it made sense to get married then. We love exploring new places, going on adventures, and laughing over silly movies — and this wedding was the perfect start to our next chapter.
