2020 WEDDING TEASER

Camie and Will’s big day was two years in the making. But it was worth the wait.

March is 2020 was a month to remember. It was the month when the COVID-19 virus broke loose in America so much so that the week of Camie and Will’s wedding, everything including Old Waverly Golf Club was forcible shut down by the government lock-down. Everyone was shocked, somewhat frightened, and just bewildered at all that happened within that one week. Camie and Will were ready to start their lives together as husband and wife, so they went ahead and arranged a quick new ceremony at the home of a family member. Though it was not what they had been planning and dreaming about, it was still a wonderful and beautiful day.

Camie wore an alternate wedding dress and Will wore an alternate suit. Only family and close friends were invited to this ceremony. There were simpler floral arrangements, cake, and Corona cookies. There were minimal toasts, but there was still joy all around because Camie and Will were finally married.

It would be one year almost to the day that they would get their dream wedding day about which they had been dreaming, but again, it was well worth the wait.

March 20, 2021, finally came. And it was the most perfect day. The sun was shining, the light March breeze floated over the green crisp hills of the golf course, and everyone was excited to finally be a part of this momentous celebration. Camie finally got to wear her stunning wedding gown that had been in waiting for more than a year. Will got to be with his friends while he waited for all the photography and videography to begin. Since Will and Camie were already married, nerves were less extreme and everyone was very much at ease and laid back.

Tracey Proctor and his talented team completely outdid themselves decorating and arranging the jaw-dropping spaces of Old Waverly. The altar at the top of those iconic steps was beautifully and delicately decorated with an array of florals like never before. The arrangements inside the club were also just as gorgeous. Everything came together perfectly for Camie and Will to renew their vows in front of all whom they cherished and loved.

The reception was a complete celebration with delectable food, to delicious cakes, to a groovy band. It was the party they had been waiting for! Everyone was thrilled that they were there to be a part of Will and Camie’s not simply wedding day, but enduring marriage. Again, it was very different how things played out, but it was still perfect and well worth the wait.

Camie and Will were married on March 21, 2020, at a private residence in Tupelo, Mississippi. They renewed their vows on March 20, 2021, at Old Waverly Golf Club in West Point, Mississippi.
