Real Weddings Wednesday: Presenting Elisha and John Derrick
The Couple: Elisha and John Derrick
Wedding Date: July 10, 2010
Photography by Lisa Richmond Photography
Tell us a little about you and your beloved: John and I met when I was a teacher at his daughter’s elementary school. It was an instant connection — we could not stay away from each other. From the moment we spoke on a personal level we talked almost every day and spent time together.
On one of our first trips hanging out he taught me how to wake board and we have shared a love of wake boarding ever since. We really enjoy any type of adventerous hobby. We love pretty much anything we can do outside.
We dated for about two months before moving in together and shortly before our six year anniversary he asked me to marry him. We are best friends and do everything together. I don’t think we have spent more than a day apart since we have been together.
What was the most amazing part of your day? [It] was feeling like the day didn’t fly by and that all of our family and friends were able to make it. I loved that our venue rents their place by the weekend so we didn’t have to set up that day and clean up that night. We were able to relax and enjoy the whole day.
What else would you like to share about your big day? Our ceremony felt extra special because my husband’s daughter (my new beautiful amazing daughter), Madison, was one of my bridesmaids. We were allowed to have our dog, Trixie, there too, so it made it extra special that our whole family was able to participate in the ceremony.

Real Weddings Magazine Inspiration Board: Presenting Brielle and Trevor Shaddix
The Couple: Brielle and Trevor Shaddix
Wedding Date: June 19, 2010
Photography by Lisa Richmond Photography
Tell us a little about you and your beloved: We have been together for almost six years. We love to spend time with each other and laugh. Trevor has a great sense of humor, he can make me laugh when it’s least expected. I cannot get enough of him! We have always noticed how much we enjoy each other’s company no matter what we do. We never have to put on a show.
What was the most amazing part of your day? Brielle’s response: our first dance. We were able to finally stop and be with each other while relaxing and enjoying the moment. It was the only three minutes of the day that seemed to stand still. Trevor’s response: during our ceremony. Brielle’s parents were to walk her halfway down the aisle then I was to meet them and finish walking Brielle down the aisle. That was a very real moment that seemed to give us more emotion that we anticipated.
What else would you like to share about your big day? We found it so funny how emotional we were at unexpected times. We were calm almost all the way through planning. My breakdown moment was when I saw my dad for the first time all dressed up, and I just fell apart. Trevor had a hard time talking to people because he would start getting choked up. Once the day got going we were so overstimulated it all became easier to handle.
