Bryce + Teagan

Idaho Bride Magazine loved getting the inside scoop on this winter wonderland wedding...enjoy Bryce and Teagan's journey from start to finish!

 

Married just after Christmas provided the perfect venue for Bryce and Teagan’s Winter Wonderland wedding.  White and Silver with highlights of frosty blue adorned the Willard Arts Center in Idaho Falls. 

Bryce and Teagan first met in 2004 while they attended Hillcrest High School.  While Bryce was immediately drawn to Teagan, it took him almost a year before he could even get the courage to talk to her.  But as soon as they talked they were instant friends.  Whether it was  supporting each other in high school activities or just hanging out with family, the two were always together.

In 2007, Bryce moved to Pocatello to attend ISU and Teagan stayed at Hillcrest to finish her last year of high school.  The couple would talk intermittently, but they found themselves slowly growing apart.  In the summer of 2009, Bryce moved back to Idaho Falls to work.  They began talking again and were soon spending a lot of time together.  What had started as a close friendship was transforming into love. 

The problem was that Teagan would be moving to Utah at the end of the summer.  Both knew the distance would be hard, so they decided to say goodbye for a time, instead of risk slowly growing apart, damaging their relationship permanently.  Teagan said, “We didn’t want to say goodbye, but we knew it wouldn’t be forever.”

For the next year the two stayed friends, but nothing more.  They talked every once in a while, but went as long as eight months without seeing each other. 

In April 2010, Bryce and Teagan saw each other for the first time since Teagan had moved.  Their feelings for each other were just as strong as ever.  For the next few months, they talked to each other every day and saw each other a few more times.  Teagan remembers, “We decided that we were the perfect match and that we would never find a love greater than what we had together.” 

They began their long distance relationship, but it still took a lot of effort.  “It was hard because I felt like every time we saw each other we had to start over getting to know each other,” said Teagan.  After four months of going back and forth and only seeing each other one or two days of the week, they were ready to take the next step. 

With Teagan blindfolded, Bryce drove to a point overlooking Idaho Falls.  They could see all the city lights.  He told her that he loved her more than all the lights of the city and proposed, and Teagan said yes.

Teagan and her mother immediately started planning the perfect Winter Wonderland Wedding.  Silver trees adorned with white lights lined the aisle.  The couple was married behind a blue background with a white wintry arch surrounding them. 

The bridesmaids wore dusty blue dresses with white muffs embellished with a diamond snowflake broach.  Her cake intermixed snowballs with sprigs of silver branches to compliment the winter theme.  To end the perfect day, Bryce and Teagan rode off in a beautiful horse and carriage.

Teagan said, “With the perfect dress and the perfect man, my dream wedding came true.  It was a beautiful winter wonderland and was everything we wanted.”
