Romantic Mountain Wedding at The Summit at Cross Mountain

Some weddings are breathtaking because of the view. Others because of the love story. Allison and Nick’s day was both. Their mountain wedding at The Summit at Cross Mountain brought together sweeping landscapes, heartfelt details, and a love that was years in the making.

Love, Loss, and a Beautiful Beginning

The story of this day began long before their vows. Allison had gifted Nick their beloved dog, Jax, just two weeks after they started dating. For 10 years, Jax was their constant—“the glue” that held them together through every season. The day after Nick proposed, Jax passed away. It felt as if he had waited for this moment, leaving them with his blessing, as if to say: “my work is done.”

To honor him, Allison and Nick included both of their dogs in their wedding portraits—Scrappy full of life, and a small wooden box holding Jax’s remains. It was emotional, tender, and the most meaningful detail of the day.

Set against panoramic views, The Summit at Cross Mountain offered the stunning backdrop they had always dreamed of. With the Blue Ridge Mountains stretched across the horizon, the ceremony was equal parts breathtaking and intimate. Their planner, Au Courant Event Planning, ensured every detail was seamless, so the focus remained on what mattered most—their vows and the beginning of forever.
