Our Quirky Mountain Wedding

By Phillip Brenneis
While my new wife and I respect tradition, the bride-in-white, dressy formal wedding at a church was not for us. We needed a wedding that was a little off-beat, unique. Something more our style. Having yawned our way through plenty of weddings in the past, our highest priorities were bringing the people we love together to witness our day, and making sure they had fun. Sugar Hollow Retreat is the only place I can imagine that really fit us.
