New Year's Wedding at World's Fair Park - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Rachel and Chris decided to start their married life at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve.  This adventuresome couple, along with the bride's sister and brother-in-law, traveled from out of state for the ceremony.  They booked us and the officiant for just one hour.  In that time we got some "official" wedding portraits among the Christmas lights, and then we headed to World's Fair Park just as it started to rain.  Thankfully, the temperatures were mild and even with the rain and breeze, Rachel was not too cold in her dress.  The original plan was to have the celebration on the bridge over the park's little stream, but because of the rain we dashed to a dry spot under yet another bridge!  The chaplain orchestrated the ceremony so that Rachel and Chris were announced husband and wife at midnight, and the couple's wedding cake was comprised of four cupcakes from The Cup here in Knoxville.  What a night!  Joshua and I decided this was one of our favorite New Year's celebrations ever! --Jaclyn
