Our Story
December 2018
In the Beginning....
To the chagrin of Jill’s sister, Josh & Jill’s first date was a hike outside Atlanta at Sweetwater State Park. Josh then put together a string of impressive dates which led to this photo, their first together, at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.
March 2019
We Fell in Love
During a rather cold, wet hike attempt to Charlies Bunyon in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Josh was the first to say “I love you.” While Jill admits to feeling the same she didn’t want Josh to feel like she was saying it just because he did. So it took her a few hours to return the words. (This timeline is up for debate with the couple – Josh says it was days before she also said “I love you.”)
time rolled by…
Snapshot of Life
The next few years passed in a flash. Josh and Jill spent 2019 continuing to get to know each other and traveling around. They found them selves in Costa Rica just before the world shut down for COVID-19 wondering if they would make it home. After surviving the beginning of quarantine together, Jill moved into Josh’s house in September of 2020. They have since completed some rather extensive renovations on the house, and continue to fix it up.

She said YES!
Back at the site of one of their first dates, Josh proposed at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens . He thought this would be the spot, but carried the ring around for a few weeks in case a more perfect setting came along; but it was meant to be and the perfect time ended up being surrounded by Christmas music and twinkle lights. The proposal was subtle and from the heart. Very appropriate for Jill and Josh.
You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.

Weekend Events
The Rehearsal Dinner, by invitation only, will be Thursday June 1’st at the Stables. This is a dressy casual event with drink service beginning at 530 and dinner to follow at 6PM. The venue is not walkable from the lodge, but there will be a shuttle service beginning at 515, if you do not want to drive.
After you check-in, come join us in the cul-de-sac outside cabins 1 & 2. Come as you are, this event is casual. There will be a taco & margarita food truck from 5 to 7PM, but the good times will continue well after.
The Ceremony will begin promptly at 6PM in the Sunset Pavilion. The attire is summer cocktail and the ceremony will be on grass, so please that take into consideration when choosing your foot wear. The Venue is a short walk from the resort, and a golf cart shuttle service will be available beginning at 5:15 from the Pro Shop. Please give yourself plenty of time to arrive before 6PM, and make sure to bring anything you might need for the evening (sweater, change of shoes, etc…) as the golf cart shuttle will not be available during the ceremony or reception.
