HANNAH + EILEEN
with a small commentary that she had written
about how the book’s theme of selfless giving
related to the couple’s outlook on marriage.
Hannah and Eileen also held a tree-planting
ceremony in which their mothers, says Hannah,
“laid the soil to represent the foundation for our
new life together, as parents lay the groundwork
for their children." This ceremony, she says,
took place “overlooking the beautiful forested
landscape laid out on Belmont's front grounds.”
Beyond its beauty, Belmont won the couple
over with its one-stop shopping. “Most places
we considered required that you put a lot
of pieces and parts together, but Belmont
provided everything in one spot,” Hannah
says. “We thought everything was amazing.”
If she could pick a favorite moment from the
evening, it was when a group of friends and a
niece performed “I Won’t Give Up,” by Jason
Mraz. “According to the guests, there wasn’t
a dry eye in the house,” Hannah says. “It felt
so personal, special, and full of love.”
