​The Grove at Stone Bridge Farms

How They Met

Kyle and Andi met at The Wilds, an exotic animal conservation facility in Cumberland, Ohio, in March 2014.  In fact, The Wilds is currently featured in the Animal Planet show, "Secrets of the Zoo."  Andi was there right after graduating from Auburn University in December 2013 for an Animal Management Apprenticeship.  Kyle served as an Educator in the Education Department.  Andi shares, "We both have a passion for wildlife, conservation, and outreach, and we hit it off right away."  In December 2014, Andi began her job as a zookeeper at the Montgomery Zoo and they dated long distance until June of 2016 when Kyle and his dog, Hobbes, moved to Alabama to join Andi and her dog, Ginger.

The Proposal

Kyle proposed to Andi on October 11, 2017, while they and the dogs were on a hike in Tennessee during a family vacation.

The Ceremony

"Stone Bridge Farms was perfect for our wedding because it is not only beautiful with outdoorsy ceremony locations, but also because it provided lodging for Kyle's friends and family from Ohio," shares Andi.  "Our goal was to have a wedding that created an outdoor atmosphere of fun and comfort because most of our friends and family had never met until the wedding weekend!  Janet, Susan, and the entire Stone Bridge staff executed our vision perfectly and we could not have asked for a more amazing weekend and wedding day."
