Wedding Date: September 12, 2020
Many a love story has started on a high school dance floor—which happened for Ethan Bown and Bethany Schmitt in 2012. They attended different high schools, but when Ethan saw her, he wasn’t going to miss his chance to get to know her. Six years later, Ethan dropped to one knee by the family Christmas tree in Bethany’s parents’ house for a dazzling, holiday-inspired moment; Bethany’s dad had asked her mom to marry him in the very same spot, making the moment even more special. At an outdoor wedding at Bethany’s family’s farm, the couple had a day full of love, family, and friends. Sunflowers and eucalyptus adorned the barn, along with rustic décor that enhanced the walnut siding and weathered steel roofing. Since they both grew up on a farm, the setting was especially meaningful.
Bethany and Ethan went back to their roots for their rural wedding in Fountain City.
