I think Christie said it best when she wrote "The last place I ever thought I would meet my soul mate was in a country line dancing bar."  But meet her soul mate she did, in boots and plaid, no doubt.  Christie is a speech therapist and Johnny an audiologist, but that's not the only thing which makes them a perfect match.  They both love spending time in the outdoors, enjoy new adventures (ask Christie about the time she convinced Johnny there were African Lions in the wilds of Pennsylvania.  Sorry not sorry if that's embarrassing Johnny, because it's hilarious.), and they both have a faith which will carry them through the ups and downs of life together.  I woke up with anxiety on their wedding morning because it was pouring rain, but as a testiment to these two, they were completely unphased.  This day was not about a wedding but about the beginning of a marriage.  No matter what the the day would hold for them, they knew they would end it as husband and wife and that was all they needed.  Surrounded by people who love them so dearly at Peacock Ridge, Johnny and Christie tied the knot and boot-scoot-boogied right into a wonderful new chapter in life.

Um, talk about adorableness!!!  Juan, Allycia, Crystal Kay Photography, and I met up at Akron's F.A. Seiberling Nature Realm to capture some engagement images, and boy, were these two naturals in front of the camera.  I think they like each other a little bit.  Even the frogs at the lily pond could tell and kept putting in their two sense ::rrribbit rrribbit::. These two will tie the knot at Vermillion on the Lake this coming September, and it is sure to be a joy-filled celebration (word is still out on whether the frogs will be invited).
