The Way This Couple Met Sounds Like A Romantic Movie Scene

This couple’s romantic story sounds like it’s straight out of a movie! Conlee Hamlin and Forrest Hunt met when the bride, Conlee, was working behind the front desk of a hotel where the groom, Forrest, was spending the weekend for a friend’s wedding. Forrest abruptly invited Conlee to his friend’s rehearsal dinner that same night, and Conlee agreed to go, mostly to get a good story out of it. They had so much fun that they met up the next night at the wedding’s after party, and even had brunch the following Sunday morning before going their separate ways. Little did they know, this would just be the start of their love story!

The Hunt’s dreamy garden wedding was full of all the details, planned so elegantly by Rachel with Two Be Wed. The bride and groom wanted to keep their celebration intimate and meaningful so that they could show each guest how grateful they were for their love and support. They did so by giving handwritten notes to each guest – and look how perfect the letters looked under their neon sign! Conlee looked like an absolute dream with her classic bridal beauty from Etoilly Artistry. With touches of pale yellow, soft blush and dark green, there wasn’t a detail missed, and this is definitely a wedding we could look at over and over again. Cheers to Mr. and Mrs. Hunt!

From the bride: “My planner, Rachel, with Two Be Wed, truly deserves the crown. We clicked from our very first phone call. She made me confident in my style choices and understood exactly what I was going for. She was able to translate my taste and preferences into a vision that I could communicate accurately to others and use her eye for decor to pick items I loved. She answered every questions – all billion of them – timely and with grace. Her recommendations were flawless. Her energy is contagious. I respect her, recommend her, and appreciate everything she did for us.”
