REAL VERMONT WEDDINGS: Kelly & Drew

Kelly Horan & Drew Nelli

The Romance...

We went to high school together and had mutual friends. After college we all went to Vermont for a long weekend snowboarding, where Drew fell in love, and Kelly had no idea. Six months later we all went on another group vacation to Lake George New York where Kelly fell in love with Drew, and from that moment on we were inseparable.

The Proposal...

Drew is a Go Big or Go Home kind of guy, so two years later he proposed on the ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center where he received a standing ovation.

Why Vermont...

Vermont is where our love story started, and a place where we share our passion of snowboarding together.

Theme / Color Palette...

WINTER WONDERLAND!! We both love the mountains and snowboarding in Vermont, Kelly is obsessed with Christmas and winter! Drew instantly fell in love with a photo he saw on Pinterest of a tweed suite with a buffalo plaid tie, so we incorporated the red from the buffalo plaid into the winter wonderland theme.

Fav Moments...

The most special moment was waking up together on our wedding day (we know not very traditional) to a foot of snow on the ground and the largest snowflakes we have ever seen falling from the sky... We were nervous it was going to be brown and bland outside because there was no snow in the forecast. We just felt so blessed the entire day it was so surreal, someone was definitely looking down on us.
