Unfortunate news will always be hard to accept, especially when it concerns a family member so dear to our hearts. Finding out that Travis's grandmother was diagnosed with cancer was truly heartbreaking, but Travis and Melody decided to make the best of the little time they had left. In only a few months, the couple rushed to make grandma's wish come true and organized their intimate wedding, and what a wedding it was.
Both families love Christmas from the heart, so they decided to hold a wintertime wedding ceremony with only their dearest people in attendance. This wedding wouldn't have come together so beautifully without the Benedict Castle and its magical decorations. Glowing lights, mistletoe, and a sparkling star on the castle walls made the whole affair so unforgettable. The best thing of all, however, was seeing Travis's grandma clad in a charming Christmas sweater, with a happy smile on her face.

A Little note from the blushing bride:
I had always dreamed of having a winter wedding, and what better way than combining it with my favorite holiday—Christmas! Things did not come easy, though, as the castle was closed on the day we chose, and time was running out to make grandma's wish happen. After much back and forth, the castle opened its doors to us to make our dreams come true. The castle was shut down the day of our wedding, so we could roam around anywhere we wanted. It's such a wonderful feeling to be able to grant grandma's wish. As you look through the pictures, you can see grandma wearing a Christmas sweater, since Christmas is also her favorite holiday. From that point on, she was nicknamed "Grandma Christmas". The castle is now full of happy memories, and I'm glad to be able to share them with my husband and new family!
