High school sweethearts, this couple made it through more than a decade of long distance, going to and graduating from college, and even military service. They returned to their hometown to start their wedded life together. Married in the same church as the bride’s parents and grandparents, the couple chose a private airplane hanger as their wedding venue. Their wedding gifts and cards were placed in the bride’s grandfather’s vintage trunk and the bride wore her grandmothers jewelry. As an extra special detail, the frosting on an already gorgeous cake, the couple took a surprise helicopter ride before their reception and braved freezing rain for some of the most stunning photos we’ve ever seen. Talk about making a grand entrance!
