Real Wedding Wednesdays: Nicole Lavelle and Taylor Rex

Nicole and Taylor Rex first met as students at Ohio University in Athens. During their courtship, Taylor took Nicole to his family’s lake house on Shriner Lake in Indiana, where he asked her to marry him. Just over a year later, the two wed in a “simple and elegant”-themed wedding at the Scioto Reserve Country Club.
One of the highlights of the day for Nicole was snagging a shot with her sweet pup, Sadie. “It took several takes to finally get the perfect photo, but I am so glad we got it!” (That image is highlighted in our current issue on page 153, but you can see one of the outtakes in the collage above.)
