There are two types of people in this World – those who take the easy way, and those who dig in and work for things even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. These two are the kind of people who work, dig in, and fight for what they know is possible. Meredith and Evan planned their gorgeous Lonesome Valley Wedding from across the country while completing surgery rotations and work changes. They dug in and put together one of the most thoughtfully beautiful Wedding Days we’ve ever been a part of. From the ring bearer’s pillow which was made from the lace of the Bride’s Grandmother’s Wedding gown to the bouquet that was wrapped in lace from her great-great-great Grandmother, everything was meaningful – thoughtful – real.

And it’s no surprise that these two are the digging in type. It’s in their blood. Many years ago, when Meredith’s great-great-great Grandmother, Sarah, was leaving with her family in a covered wagon to explore the West, she jumped out of the back of that wagon so that she could stay and marry her sweetheart. Sometimes doing the hard thing to get to something beautiful is a family tradition.
