HEATHER WOOD + CARL THOMAS

Photographer: Bekah Leanne Photography Wedding Planner: Soirée Pines

Both in the veterinary field, Heather and Carl met on a blind date set up by a colleague in 2016. The couple immediately bonded over their love of animals and, four years later, took the next step toward marriage. Heather’s favorite place in the world is the historic Biltmore Estate, so when Carl wanted to propose, he knew exactly where to go to secure a “yes.”

The venue was just as easy to choose. Heather grew up two blocks away from the Weymouth Center for the Arts & Humanities and would often walk there with her family, catching tadpoles in the pond as a little girl. On the big day, Heather and Carl’s guests dined in the Great Room of the historic Boyd House. The couple collected antique, colored glasses and goblets that complemented the vintage room and the wedding’s 1920s vibe.

“Our day suited us perfectly,” Heather said. “I would not change a thing! If you ask Carl though, he says that he wished he could have had more time to eat our delicious food and cupcakes.”
