Born to Run Farm Wedding | Glen Gardner, New Jersey
Every love story has its unique chapter, and for Sara and Brian who embraced the unpredictability of life, their wedding day turned into a magical tale of love, unity, and natural beauty. On a slightly stormy June day, the charming Born to Run Farm in Glen Gardner New Jersey became the backdrop for a heartwarming celebration that defied expectations and showcased the couple's adventurous spirit.
This couple's love story had already taken them on an adventurous journey. Having eloped in Oregon the previous year, they decided to celebrate their union with friends and family in a meaningful way. Born to Run Farm, with its rustic charm and natural appeal, was the perfect choice. Little did they know, the weather would play a significant role in making their day even more memorable. Sara's spirit of adventure was evident in her choice of attire. Walking down the aisle in hiking boots alongside her bridesmaids, she radiated a carefree elegance that perfectly mirrored the day's spirit.
Their outdoor ceremony went beyond the conventional, as the Brian and Sara took the time to honor both the native land they stood upon and their familial roots. Amidst the rustling willow trees and overcast skies, they shared a touching tree planting tradition. The couple united two saplings as a symbol of their growing love, nurturing it as they would nurture their relationship. What made this ritual even more heartfelt was the fact that the soil used for the planting was a combination of earth from sentimental spots, including their family homes. This act bound their love not only to each other but also to the cherished places that had shaped their lives.
As the ceremony concluded and the reception began under the shelter of a clear giant tent, a light drizzle began to fall. But this couple, undeterred by the whims of the weather, allowed the rain to become an integral part of their celebration. Guests were free to roam in and out of the tent, savoring the enchanting surroundings, the company of loved ones, and the soothing sounds of nature. As the night progressed, the rain grew stronger, but instead of dampening the spirits, it seemed to fuel the dance floor. Couples swayed and twirled, laughter echoed through the air, and the raindrops on the tent created a mesmerizing ambiance. This was a celebration of love that embraced every moment, rain or shine.
This whimsical wedding at Born to Run Farm was not just about two individuals coming together; it was a testament to the power of embracing life's unpredictability. The couple's journey had led them to this point, where they united their love, their roots, and their shared passion for adventure.
