Maris and Brody’s wedding day was on a beautifully overcast day in December. All the girls got ready at The Mill at MSU. It was so sweet watching the bridesmaids' reactions as they turned around and saw Maris in her stunning wedding gown. Her gown was such a unique dress with smooth lines and a very chic bow tied on the side. Just look at the expressions of others as she walked down the aisle during the ceremony. They were all oohing and ahhing over her gown. During the first look, even Brody commented on the beautify of Maris in that gown.
Maris and Brody’s vows were also so unique. Vowing to trust each other even when they misunderstand each other and more. The love of Maris and Brody was purely and perfectly displayed in such a beautiful and Christ-centered ceremony. The reception was back at The Mill. It was an exciting celebration with a live band and plenty to eat and drink. With Santa hats and Christmas light necklaces, everyone danced their hearts out. Maris and Brody were sent off with a sparkler exit. It was such an amazing end to a wonderful day. Maris and Brody were married on December 19, 2020, at First Baptist Church in Starkville, Mississippi.
[Last December was a tough month for us. Joe got covid about a week shy of Maris and Brody’s wedding that we were scheduled to film. We were in a big bind. Fortunately, due to a pretty amazing friend/vendor (Tommy), we got connected to Brent who was willing to come to Starkville to film their wedding. Maris agreed to the arrangement that Brent would film and Joe would edit. We were so thankful for Maris’s understanding perspective and kindness and Brent’s willingness to help total strangers out. We were so blown away by his work and just his kindness toward us. We are blessed to be able to do what we do because of amazing couples and amazing vendors. ]
