On Thursday, December 29th, 2016 at 11:00 a.m., my dear sister Isabel Rose Ramos was wedded to Trevor Jacob Mayer at the historic Oakhill Chapel in Oakhurst.
Built in 1894 by volunteers, this chapel was the only house of worship in the region for almost half a century. Originally located on Chapel Hill, it was moved to its present location, just a mile away, in 1957, where it was also rededicated. Then in 1991, again with volunteer labor, the small church was restored and opened once more to the public.
Now that you have a bit of history on the chapel, here are the best photos from their wedding!

~The End~
"Two are better than one because they have good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart."
~Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Love,
Ava Katherine<3
