A SUNRISE PROPOSAL

BONDING AND BOURBON

Erin Brookshier and Rob Edmonds had
no idea they were being set up on a blind
date, thanks to a friend (who would later
be a bridesmaid!) who picked them up for
a recreation league soccer game. Erin and
Rob hit it off immediately and he called the
very next day to ask for a date.
Erin is a WSLS10 morning reporter, so
her days start earlier than most. Rob asked
her to go for an early morning hike to Peaks
of Otter, leaving Roanoke at 3 a.m. to hike
up and watch the sunrise. As they stood together at the top, with just the two of them,
Rob proposed. After the hike back down,
they enjoyed a huge celebration breakfast.

Erin chose colors of sage green with pops of
gold and soft pink. She and Rob made their
centerpieces, cutting glass bottles, creating
the designs and spray painting them gold;
it took hours to finish, but Erin says it was
amazing pre-wedding bonding time!
The couple "buried the bourbon" in their
venue's flowerbeds a month before their
wedding day as hope for good weather. While
the forecast threatened rain all week, when
the day came, it was sunny and 92 degrees,
without a cloud to be seen in the sky.

30 | REAL WEDDINGS

FAMILY DETAILS

Erin wore her mother's lace trim veil, at-

taching it to her hair comb. She also gave
her father cufflinks that read "I'll always be
your little girl," with a photo of them on the
other side. The small detail was very special
to both of them on such a wonderful day.
PLANTING A MEMORY

Rob and Erin decided to do a tree planting ceremony that would eventually grow
in their backyard. Each brought dirt from
their parents' homes where they grew up,
pouring it into a pot while their pastor
talked about bringing families together.
When the newlyweds returned from their
honeymoon, they planted the tree and now
see it everyday as a special reminder.
