BRIDE & GROOM Tara Mae Lemon & Benjamin Brown Doxey BRIDE’S HOMETOWN Holden GROOM’S HOMETOWN Springville CEREMONY Salt Lake LDS Temple FIRST SIGHT Ben and I first met at Snow College in 2008, but we never dated there nor did I think we ever would. If there are such things as “leagues,” in my mind Ben was completely out of mine. SERENDIPITY After Ben returned from his LDS mission, I was ice skating on a date, and Ben also happened to be there on a date. He noticed me and pulled his brother aside, “Do you remember that girl? I asked you to look up her address while I was on my mission! That’s her. And that could have been me.” The next week, the same thing happened: Ben and I were on separate dates at the same restaurant. The week after, same story! Finally, the following week, he asked me out. FIRST DATE He convinced me to skip my classes so he could take me on a date before I left on a cruise — and I couldn’t refuse. The date was perfect. We talked about everything, and all I could do was smile. I was twitterpated and didn’t end up going on the cruise because the thought of being away from him didn’t seem right. WEDDING INSPIRATION Instead of colors, I had more of a theme: colored glass vases and intricate gold frames. STRIKING DETAIL On the barn wall, I hung a variety of gold mirrors and intricate frames holding our relatives’ and ancestors’ wedding photos. DRESS I fell in love with the belt before I decided on a dress! I knew I wanted a lace dress — I have always loved things with a vintage feel. BOUQUET My mom and I made my beautiful brooch bouquet. I used my Grandma Lemon’s brooches in the bouquet and on the cake. I loved the idea of my bouquet being a keepsake, and that time spent with my mom became one of my favorite wedding memories. SONG “Then” by Brad Paisley. FAVORITE TOUCH At one of our receptions, we had a display in the barn’s loft showcasing the wedding dresses from my grandma, my mom and my mother-in-law. HER DREAM GUY Ben possesses every unrealistic quality I ever hoped for. He’s perfect for me in every way. HIS DREAM GIRL “For me, Tara is the definition of beautiful. Her perfect features intimidated me from the first time we met. She is genuine, kind, fun and outgoing. I knew I wanted to marry her from the beginning of our relationship,” Ben says.
