Tori & Chris | Town Manor Wedding

bride & groom kiss under umbrellas as the rain comes down around them at their Town Manor wedding

Chris and Tori’s Town Manor wedding was filled with love, laughter, and a few lucky raindrops! The rain held off just long enough for them to exchange emotional vows in front of their friends and family. The inspiration for Chris and Tori’s wedding was grounded in their Christian background. They picked their date based on John 3:16 and said,

That verse sets the greatest example of what true love is and we strive to love one another in that way throughout our marriage.

What a personal and meaningful way to start this journey of marriage!

Their Town Manor wedding offered a lot of diversity throughout the day. From the beautiful exposed brick inside the bridal suite to the elaborate gardens (not to mention the varied weather), we were able to get a ton of different inspiration for photos.

Chris’ favorite moment of the day:

The ceremony, with all of our family there sharing in our love and happiness. Also, the speeches were something to cherish because they were filled with so much love,  laughter, and genuine pieces of Tabby [maid of honor] and Jordan [best man].

Tori’s favorite moment of the day:

The portion of the ceremony where we exchanged our vows was very special. We wrote them ourselves and it was so beautiful to share those personal words and promises with one another and our loved ones. I also loved the few moments I was able to have alone with my dad beforehand.

Tori and Chris have some amazing advice for bride’s planning their wedding now.

Spend the money where it’s important, and save it where it’s not. Some details like wedding favors or the tradition of “something old, something new. Something borrowed, something blue,” ultimately don’t add any value to your experience, they just add one more thing onto your list of things to do or buy.

We can get behind that! We really recommend sitting down when you start planning your wedding and decide what parts of your wedding day are the most important. That way you know what to prioritize as you navigate the planning process. Chris and Tori did an amazing job prioritizing the things that mattered for their Town Manor wedding. It showed in every detail throughout their beautiful day! We can’t wait to see where this life takes you two!

Much ♥, Sierra & Cat
