A Union Pine Wedding Full Of Emotion
Tia and Robert’s wedding at Union/Pine was everything they had envisioned—deeply emotional, wildly fun, and a true reflection of who they are. Six years after their Tinder match turned into a love story, the archaeologist and the accountant stood together in the upstairs loft, surrounded by the warmth of their closest people.
A First Look Filled with Tears and Music
The first look was an intensely personal moment. Tia, glowing in her flowing white gown with sheer pull-on sleeves, clutched a letter she had written for Robert. As she read it aloud, her voice wavered, filled with years of love and admiration for the man she calls her best friend and “the coolest dude” she knows. Robert, wearing a traditional Barong Tagalog as a tribute to his Filipino roots, responded not with words, but with a song—one that had been a constant in their relationship. They held each other, wiping away their own tears and each other’s, entirely lost in their own world.
Their community, always open-hearted and emotionally present, set the tone for the entire day. Hugs were long and genuine, tears flowed freely, and no one shied away from being vulnerable—not just in private moments, but right in front of the camera.
A Wedding at Union/Pine With a Perfect Historic-Modern Blend
It was important to Tia and Robert that their wedding at Union/Pine blended history with modernity—just like their relationship. They achieved this effortlessly with a golden circular arch framing their ceremony, draped in deep maroon fabric and overflowing with lush floral arrangements. The contrast against Union/Pine’s industrial black-and-white walls and dark wood floors was striking, mirroring the way they balance each other in life.
Tia’s vows were a beautiful mix of love and playfulness, promising to always bring adventure and fantasy into their lives. Robert, ever the steady and kind-hearted partner, vowed to continue being the rock she could lean on, the one who would always keep her laughing. When they were pronounced married, their tight-knit group of friends and family erupted in cheers, celebrating as if they had all won something together.
Whiskey, Karaoke, and the Celebration of a Lifetime
For Tia and Robert, a wedding was never just about tradition—it was about having a ridiculously fun party. And they absolutely succeeded. The dance floor quickly turned into a whirlwind of laughter, with a bottle of whiskey making its rounds while friends grabbed the mic for spontaneous karaoke performances. There was no stiffness, no formalities—just pure, unfiltered joy.
Their love extends beyond just each other—it’s woven into the friendships they cherish and the community they’ve built. From playing card games with her bridesmaids in the Union/Pine loft while sipping mimosas that morning to belting out karaoke songs late into the night, Tia and Robert’s wedding at Union/Pine was a celebration of not just their love story, but of the people who make their lives rich and full. Now, with their two beloved cats curled up at home, they look forward to a lifetime of adventure, growth, and a little bit of whimsy—always together.
