Dalila + Jimmy

Dalila Roman and Jimmy Copeland

How We Met
Jimmy and I met on Tinder. At the time I was living in Cookeville, TN but had just got a job offer at Vanderbilt University. I figured Tinder was the best way to begin making friends as I made my transition to Nashville. On our first date, we went to a Vietnamese restaurant, but Jimmy didn’t know that it was cash-only. I never let him forget who paid on our first date.  

The Wedding
We got married in my sister’s backyard in Joelton, TN. Jimmy and I always envisioned a small, intimate ceremony and her backyard was the perfect location for us and our 19 guests. Thankfully, the weather cooperated too, because we had no Plan B. Jimmy made the four farmhouse tables that we used for our reception. It was his special project for the wedding that he loved working on. We gave three of the tables to some of our guests and we kept one. Our table now sits on our own back porch which gets used quite often and reminds us of that incredible day.
