Passion Perspective-Getting to Know the Co-owners of Forever Vintage Rentals
Precious friends are a blessing from above and when that friend becomes like “family” there are no words to describe the peace and joy that accompanies that forever friendship. Rhonda Piper is one of those friends!! I have known her for over 6 years and she is as close as a sister to me. She is a talented photographer and we were blessed to have her as our wedding photographer for both Bethany’s and Bekah’s weddings. She and her cousin, Cara Nelson, are the founders and co-owners of Forever Vintage Rentals.
Their website is amazing and they describe their business as such-“Forever Vintage presents an eclectic melange of vintage treasures. We specialize in the truly antique, elegant, rustic & boho rentals for a one of a kind design. We travel anywhere the back roads will take us to bring you the finest in vintage rentals. In addition, our designers will custom build anything your heart’s desire. We rent, style, & deliver so you can relax & enjoy your special day!

It is our privilege to feature them this week on our Passion Perspective. Today we take you on an introductory journey into their business, Forever Vintage Rentals
We interviewed Rhonda and Cara to get some fun facts about them to help you understand what sets them and their business apart and makes them so special. In order to set the stage for why we chose them for our Passion Perspective week, we asked both gals how they got to know us. Rhonda stated, “We met the Weisser Family through our daughters. Our girls played softball together at Azusa Pacific. What a blessing they are in our lives. I’ve also had the pleasure of capturing (through photography) Bethany & Mike’s wedding and Bekah & Ashkon’s wedding.” and Cara added, “We had the honor of hosting Bethany’s wedding at our home, Leaning Tree Lodge. Blessed to see the family’s interaction with one another and their faith woven through every part of Mike & Bethany’s celebration.”
We continued the interview with a few more personal facts about Rhonda and Cara….
