Grace Caputo and Zack Dunnam JANUARY 16, 2021
Z
ack and I went to the same high school. He was a varsity football player and I was a varsity cheerleader. We knew of each other, but really met when our families went on vacation together to Destin, Florida in 2014. This is how our journey started, and we became high school sweethearts. We dated for two years in high school and all throughout college. College was difficult for us, because we were long-distance while we pursued our degrees. September 12, 2020, we were visiting some of Zack’s family in Dallas. We had dinner, and then went up to the top of the reunion tower that overlooked the city. When it was dark, we had a gondola ride down the river and Zack had our tour guide throw a glass bottle into the river when I wasn't looking. He acted like it was there the whole time. Zack asked me to grab it and open up the bottle and read the letter inside. It contained a quote from our favorite song, Thank You by Led Zeppelin, and this is when he asked me to marry him! We had a lot of planning to do because we did not want a long engagement. With the help of family, friends and a few vendors, we were able to have the wedding planned in
less than four months. When I saw the Ravington, I fell in love with the old wood floors, high ceilings
trees with Christmas lights and crimson-colored roses with floating candles lined the aisle. With
and brick walls. They gave us a list of recommendations for wedding planners, and we called Most Joyful Day. They made sure my day was absolutely perfect and that my mom was also able to enjoy the day and not be stressed.
greenery and hints of burgundy and navy, the wedding colors were perfect for a winter wedding.
We knew we wanted a winter wedding and decided January 16th would be the perfect date to start our lives together. It was a chilly, but perfect night. Our wedding took place indoors with over 150 guests. Christmas decorations were included in the wedding. Pine
We are huge Alabama football fans, so the groom’s cake had an Alabama theme with chocolate covered strawberries. The bridal cake was a vanilla flavor with almond icing. Hot chocolate was served while the guests gathered outside after the ceremony. The Ravington provided the perfect winter wedding. Two days after the wedding, we packed our bags and moved to Colorado!
