Victoria and Taran really wanted an outdoor wedding because they felt it would resonate the most with them. However, this being the Black Hills, the weather didn’t cooperate, so they ended up having the ceremony indoors at Sylvan Lake Lodge. Victoria says it ended up making no difference whether they were married indoors or out, because it turned out amazing. “If you are worried about having it inside,” she says, “Don’t stress!”
How We Met
The couple met in 2012, when Victoria was a freshman and Taran a sophomore. On Halloween night, she introduced herself via a text message. After talking on and off for about a month, they went on their first date, driving around town and talking for hours. They quickly learned they had a lot in common, especially their tastes in music. About one year later, they officially started dating.
Hints for Brides
I think the best advice I was given was from a girlfriend of mine who had just previously had a spectacular wedding: your wedding day will end up going by so fast. On the day of, don’t stress over the little things and try to take in every moment.
