Berina and Chris

Wedding Stories at Nantahala Weddings & Events

“Our wedding day meant so much to us and our family and the fact that we got to do it overlooking the mountains (our first trip as a couple was in the mountains and we joked we’d get married in the mountains) meant SOOOOO much to us! We definitely look forward to make a future trip to Topton and enjoying the peacefulness and beauty the area brings! “

Thanksgiving Microwedding

A star pitcher from Zephyrhills, Florida, Chris was drafted by the San Francisco Giants. But his baseball career was subverted due to an injury, so he became a sheriff’s deputy.

That was nothing compared to what happened to him a few years later. He had a car accident that left him without feeling below the waist. His girlfriend, Berina, had just given birth to their baby daughter. Malaya was just 2 months old. Malaya is 3 years old in these photos.

This beautiful couple hosted a 5-day microwedding with their families over Thanksgiving in Fie Top Suite. Such joy in their eyes. An inspiration for all of us!
