“Now I’ve Had the Time of My Life…”

Dirty Dancing-Inspired Wedding at Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure

Talk about dancing the night away! This breathtaking couple met at a ballroom dance class. Kelly’s dance instructor was her future husband, Nerijus. After her first dance class, Kelly knew she was going to marry Nerijus. Adding to their dancing love story, they hosted their wedding at Rumbling Bald on Lake Lure. Ever heard of this mountainside resort? It’s the location where Dirty Dancing, the 1987 romance movie, was filmed! Kelly and Nerijus are a modern version of Baby and Johnny.

Our hearts are doing a dance just thinking about this couple and their fabulous day! Kelly and Nerijus chose Rumbling Bald Resort on Lake Lure before they even knew that Dirty Dancing was filmed there! They knew they wanted to be outside, so Rumbling Bald was the perfect NC wedding venue. Each reception table was labeled as a different dance, including nods to Lithuania, where Nerijus is from and beautiful floral arrangements with hints of green.

Modern day wedding party

Weddings have trends and traditions, but every couple celebrates in their own unique way! This couple decided not to have a wedding party. Instead, their closest friends got ready with them, which is just as special! Kelly and her friends wore matching pajama sets and she asked them to wear whatever color gown they would like, as long as it was floor length.

There is nothing wrong with not having a bridal party! This keeps the ceremony more intimate and focused on the couple. Not having to worry about a bridal party, hurting feelings or spending extra money for their items takes weight off the couples shoulders.
