Hallie and Lance were married in September 2026, at The Stone Barn. They are both from Stonewall, just down the road from us and like so many of our couples, have known each other since they were kids.
Her dad and her step-dad both walked her down the aisle, and there were four parent dances instead of two — Landslide with her dad, Slipping Through My Fingers with her step-dad, Vienna with his mother, and one more with his step-mother. It was so moving for us to be a part of this family’s day and they are proof that there are no rules. Wedding days are about families, and honoring yours in the way that means most to you and the only rule that exists.
They changed their own first dance the day before the wedding. It ended up being Dolly Parton and Ricky Van Shelton, Rockin’ Years.
By the door was a corkboard with eight years of notes pinned to it — birthday letters, sticky notes, photo booth strips. Instead of signing a guest book, people wrote on playing cards, so the two of them would find the messages again every time they got a deck out. So good.
The groom’s cake was a popcorn bar. Oh, and it rained too. The best part? They kept laughing right through it. (that makes the best pics, by the way).
