Poornika & Tanner
December 4, 2020
The Proposal
Poornika Kakkanaiah and Tanner Savidge met at Virginia Tech, both members of the marching band. By the end of one December day, Tanner's gift of an indulgent winery spree saw Poornika nodding off in the car. She awoke at Savidge Farms, with a light-bedecked barn setting the stage for Tanner's proposal.
The Big Day
With their original plan derailed by COVID-19, Simon Silk Mill provided a convenient wealth of vendors. The micro-gathering feasted on doughnuts, pumpkin cake and mini pies from Talana Maria's, and Poornika's mother made bags of assorted cookies from scratch for guests to take home. “If the World Was Ending” by JP Saxe and Julia Michaels made for an all-too-fitting first dance! Honoring the couple's weekly cone tradition, a visit to Owowcow Creamery ended the reception before the party continued at the Grand Eastonian. In a way, the pandemic necessitated a more breathtaking day than they could have imagined, which the couple reprised a year later with the full contingent of guests.
