Classic Southern Outdoor Wedding

Both the bride and groom love surprises so they decided against a first look before the ceremony. "Instead, we decided to pray together one last time before we made our vows to God," says Sara. "We pray every night together so this reflected a simple act that involved just the two of us. We chose a tree behind one of the cabins and we stood on opposite sides with our eyes closed."
