Smith Shoemaker Wedding, Barren Ridge Vineyards

So, what do you do when it rains on your wedding day?? You make wine, or you at least drink it, and you drink it in one of the loveliest spots in the Shenandoah Valley; Barren Ridge Vineyards, rain or shine.
When we gals are tiny, we begin dreaming of our perfect wedding day, and as we grow and change, that dream of course morphs into something a bit more tangible. Well, Samantha is no different than the rest of us. She had dreamed of this day her entire life. And no where in that dream did it include rain...lots and lots of rain. So what do you do when your dreams are dampened by life's little obstacles? You don't give up on your dream, you just re-envision it.
And that is just what these two, gorgeous folks decided to do... Tim, is about as amazing of a young man as I have ever come across. His best man shared in his toast that Tim is the most positive person he has ever known. I can honestly only recall one time the entire evening when I didn't see a smile on Tim's face, and that was only when we had to force him to give us a serious face (you'll see below, lol). Samantha pulled herself up by the high heels and was determined to make this day as memorable as she had always hoped. She already knew she was marrying that man of her dreams, and that was the most important detail of the day. These two are perfectly paired, not just because of their undeniable stunning looks, but because their hearts are equally as grand.
