Melanie and Bill are the quintessential throw back couple.  What I mean by that is...their style, their music tastes, talents and Melanie's skill of photo restoration, all speak to a time of craft and conduct. Melanie's family is from my favorite city, Chicago.  Bill's family is from Wisconsin. They moved to Nashville and haven't looked back.  Bill, aka. The One and Only Bill Davis (his recording name) and Melanie chose to have a simple ceremony in their front lawn and the reception at the Nashville Zoo. Their front yard has the most beautiful red bud tree and as planned...it was in full bloom. Melanie and Bill also worked to create a beautiful bed of tulips that were also in full bloom and were the perfect coordinating colors to the other ceremony flowers. The day of the wedding it poured down rain just up until 15-20 minutes prior.  (I've never seen such a calm bride in that circumstance) My wedding director Brittany quickly dried the chairs off and the show went on as planned!
