We both knew of each other before then just because we had been in the same middle school but we hadn’t actually talked with one another or even been in the same class until the 9th grade science class," Paige shared.

When asked if it was love at first sight, she said, "For him, he said he had a crush on me since the 7th grade but never had the courage to say anything to me (Lol). Once we started dating he said he knew I was the one right off the bat. For me, I had unknowingly seen him a summer or two before at the Hawkeye Downs motocross races and I remember looking at him like he was the guy of my dreams. I even remember going back to the bleachers and telling my mom that I hope to one day find someone like him!! When we started talking/ dating I told him I felt like that day I saw him at the race was foreshadowing or hinting where I would end up being." 080319-0238080319-0238 080319-0243080319-0243 They shared a beautiful first look in front of Cedar Ridge as their friends and family looked on. 080319-0248080319-0248 080319-0257080319-0257 080319-0274080319-0274 "Our first date we went to Applebee’s. We still go back there and say “there’s our booth!” He even remembers what I wore on the date, which I think is impressive." 080319-0312080319-0312 Paige shared about when they knew this was the one, "I would say our love at first sight answer could come into this question too. For me, he sealed the deal I guess when I learned of his patience, kindnesses, and tremendous work ethic. Also, I just couldn’t see myself being with anyone else but him. For him, he says he always knew I was the one because I wasn’t like any other girls and when he's around me his heart feels 'tingly.'" 080319-0329080319-0329 080319-0342080319-0342 080319-0344080319-0344 080319-0358080319-0358 080319-0368080319-0368 The sun was very bright during our time for formal portraits.  Thankfully, the front of Cedar Ridge made for a perfect spot for the bridal party and they room just off of the tasting room was ideal for family portraits. Doing family portraits inside allowed everyone to stay cool and relax when not actively in photos. 080319-0401080319-0401 080319-0404080319-0404 080319-0449080319-0449 080319-0490080319-0490 080319-0497080319-0497 After family photos, we went on a little walk over to the cask storage.
