Autumn and Matthew

Bride & Groom: Autumn Baxter and Matthew Synowiez

Wedding Date: May 21, 2011

How Did You Meet :We met at a Vanderbilt vs UT Lacrosse game in Nashville at Vanderbilt University.  I went with my roommate to cheer on her boyfriend that plays on the UT Lacrosse team that Matthew coaches.  After the game, they wanted me to meet the coach and the rest is history!

How did he propose :Well I am a very observant person and I usually can figure out when Matthew has something planned.  He is also not good with surprises..he ends up telling me!  So the day he got the ring, he decided he was not going to plan anything and let the day plan itself.  My family wanted to go to dinner that night so Matthew decided to propose to me in front of my family while we were out to dinner in Nashville.  I definitely did NOT expect him to propose that night nor in front of my family!  So it worked!

How many bridesmaid are you having: 6

What are your colors:the colors I am using are very natural: shades of brown, tan, champagne, ivory, plum, and green.

Why did you choose Castleton :I have always wanted an outdoor wedding in a vineyard or on a farm with a really cool big barn. We are having the ceremony in the vineyard and the reception in the barn.  I am getting the best of both worlds!  I like the rustic elegant feel that Castleton gives.
