They were in the same choir and both studying music at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Amanda had never fallen in love before. She had dated a few guys, but never had feelings that grew deeper. She wondered if that's all love would ever be. She even expected the same thing when she started dating Bennett. He, on the other hand, had been attracted to Amanda from the very beginning.

Read MoreDerrick and Leah's wedding venue, Silver Swan Bayside, was perched on the south tip of Kent Island with panoramic views of the Chesapeake and a little beach to dig your toes into. So that's what we did. Leah kicked off her shoes and Derrick helped her down the steps onto the beach.

Their decorations were beautifully coordinated and practical - most of them even ended up decorating their new home!
Read MoreAfter their ceremony at Tabby's grandparents' beautiful old home, we had a few hours to spare before Tabby and Josh were going to be introduced at their reception at the Aviary in Lynchburg.
