A Look Inside an HGTV Producer's Rustic-Glam Wedding

Mark, a video editor in Knoxville, Tennessee, proposed to Karen, a digital producer at HGTV, at the basketball stadium where they met. In true video editor fashion, Mark put together a beautiful clip of their closest family and friends shouting, “Say Yes!” She did, but before they lived happily ever after, they put together a picture-perfect wedding.

The wedding and reception took place at Ramble Creek in Athens, Tennessee. The picturesque estate is nestled in the East Tennessee Valley at the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. The property features a vineyard, pond, covered bridge, sweeping lawns and grand ceremony and reception areas. Dubbed “The Ramble," the custom venue provides over 8,000 square feet of space for the kitchen, bridal suite, groom’s quarters, cocktail room and grand hall.

The couple was engaged for three years and, at the very beginning, Karen’s father came up with the idea for an intimate wedding day breakfast between the two of them. Although he forgot about his idea by the time the wedding came along, Karen was able to surprise him with a sweet morning spread of their favorite dishes.

Of course, no breakfast spread is complete without morning beverages. Green tea for Karen, coffee for dad.
