Rachel + Cam
“When I started to plan our day of shopping for my wedding gown, my sister-in-law insisted that we make an appointment at House Of White and as soon as we walked in the doors I could tell why. The atmosphere is so chic, fun, and welcoming and Hannah was incredible! I had a rough idea of what I wanted coming into the day and she pulled a variety of dresses that were all so beautiful. She made the decision making process so easy. Thank you, Hannah and the House of White team! <3” - Rachel

TELL US ABOUT YOUR BAE!
“Cam and I met while we were Juniors in college at the University of Kentucky when we were meeting up with mutual friends at the famous Two Keys Tavern in Lexington, KY. At the time, one of my best friends and roommate was dating her now husband and one of Cam’s best friends. Little did we know that they would both later be in our own wedding as Cam’s best man and one of my bridesmaids. Cam proposed while we were on vacation with his family in Whitefish, Montana last year. We were hiking to Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park and he popped the question once we got to the lake. As he was down on one knee looking up at me, I realized that he was holding a very special diamond ring in his hand- my ‘MomTom’s (My Grandmother) engagement ring- one that she wore for 63 years of marriage to my Grandad who we unfortunately lost just a couple of weeks after we got engaged. It is so special to me to wear her ring every day and I hope to continue this tradition with our own family one day.”
WEDDING DAY ADVICE FOR FUTURE BRIDES
“To me, the most special part of our day was including personal touches that made our wedding uniquely ours. My advice would be to find ways to do this even if it’s nontraditional. For example, one of mine and Cam’s favorite things to do together is to go hiking. For our table numbers, we put a picture of us hiking on each one with a caption stating the name of the trail and city/state we were in. I also walked down the aisle to an instrumental of Taylor Swift’s 'Lover' - this was such a fairy tale moment for me!”
FAVORITE ACCESSORY FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY
“My favorite accessory from our wedding day is a gold bangle that I had made with the word “unconditional” in my Grandad’s handwriting engraved on the inside of it. I had the word pulled from a letter that he wrote me when I was in high school. In the letter, he wrote about the unconditional love that exists among family. I had the same engraving placed on the inside of Cam’s wedding band. It is so special to us both that every day we carry this reminder from Grandad with us to love each other and our families unconditionally the way he always did.”

A SPECIAL MOMENT FROM YOUR WEDDING DAY
“There were so many special moments throughout our day but I think my favorite moment to look back on is when my family and friends danced together to "American Pie" at our wedding reception. This is a tradition in my family. We all get together in a circle and dance to the song together and it was just such a special moment. I can't think of a time I've been happier than I was in that moment, dancing arm-in-arm with my family surrounded by so much love.”
