Be Still and Know: A Celebration of Love in Columbus Ohio
In March 2021, Lisa and friend, Nicole, went on a girl’s trip to Florida. Little did they know, it would become a celebration of love and new beginnings. While there, Nicole met a man she immediately hit it off with. After returning home to New York, Nicole begged Lisa to join her on a trip to Ohio to see him again. Lisa agreed, and during one of their visits, she met this man’s friend Will at a party. This meeting led both Lisa and Nicole to move to Ohio and pursue relationships based on faith and passion.
The Moment She Knew
After hitting it off with this laid-back man from the Midwest, Lisa felt there was something special about their connection. Inspired by Psalms 46:10, she decided to get a tattoo of the phrase, “Be Still and Know.” While on her way to the tattoo parlor, she received a Snapchat from Will. In the photo, he just happened to be wearing a hat featuring the exact same phrase, “Be Still.” In that moment, Lisa knew there was something deeper at work between them.
The Power of Two
After Will’s proposal, the couple began their search for the perfect venue. Lisa was immediately drawn to 22 Acres Farm. The name seemed like fate given her special connection to the number two, especially in multiples. Her favorite number has become a heartfelt symbol of her late grandfather, who passed on 2/2/22.
After touring the venue, they soon felt it was the perfect fit.
“I think this venue gave us the ability to be a blend of the more formal wedding I wanted and the casual nature of Will. It was a good blend of the two of us,” the bride reflected.
A Celebration of Love
Before the ceremony, guests enjoyed refreshing drinks and field games. This gave everyone, particularly the younger attendees, a chance to relax and have fun while the couple and their wedding party completed final preparations and took their first-look photographs.
Lisa and Will chose a faith-centered ceremony held in the renowned barn at 22 Acres Farm. Surrounded by the breathtaking Ohio Countryside, they exchanged vows in front of a beautifully handcrafted wooden cross. With heartfelt scripture readings and meaningful contributions from family members, the ceremony was a deeply personal celebration of their love.
Exactly three years after feeling their undeniable connection, Lisa and Will stood together, surrounded by their closest loved ones, and were joined in matrimony—a memory cherished by all who attended.
Making a Wedding Their Own
After the ceremony, attendees were welcomed to the celebration with grazing tables featuring charcuterie boards and refreshing drinks. Once the couple and their families returned from photos, Lisa and Will kicked off the dinner hour with their first dance as newlyweds, followed by special dances with their parents. After blessing the meal, guests enjoyed a buffet feast filled with delicious options.
Throughout the evening, loved ones shared stories and celebrated the joy of the happy couple. Adding a touch of nostalgia, their wedding cake was adorned with a very special topper—the same one used at Lisa’s parents’ wedding thirty years ago.
Autumn Sun Setting on Eternity
As the October sun set, the celebration carried on into the night, with the wedding party dancing under the moonlight to mark the couple’s new chapter together. The day offered unforgettable moments, from golden hour photos taken in the picturesque fields of 22 Acres Farm to the moments captured in the romantic glow of the lit silo within our grounds.
The beauty of 22 Acres Farm seems to shine uniquely for each of our couples, and Lisa and Will’s special day was no exception. We are honored to have been a part of their wedding day and look forward to seeing the wonderful life they will continue to build together.
