It seemed that Saturdays in May 2021 were perfectly magical days to get married. Carlee and Tyler were married in downtown Jackson on the last Saturday in May and it was gorgeous. Not a cloud in the sky, a cool breeze flowing, and a happy and excited couple filled the day.
Carlee’s dress was classic yet had unique touches that made it one of a kind. Tyler’s words and expression said it all when he turned around and saw her in their first look. They immediately jumped on the trolley and headed to the Governor’s Mansion. The Mississippi Governor’s Mansion was stunning, but this couple outshined it. They danced in the courtyard, walked up and down the beautiful staircase, and beamed with joy as they posed and took photos. They met the rest of the large bridal party outside the Capitol building for more photos. The landscape of the day was extraordinary.
The ceremony and reception were held at The Ice House Venue. The ceremony was packed full of friends and family of the couple. A unique aspect of the wedding was that both parents of Carlee had the honor of walking her down the aisle. Carlee and Tyler’s desire was for their ceremony to not only be a wedding ceremony but also a worship service that would encourage everyone in attendance. They had close family members read scripture. They said their vows and exchanged rings. They had the same benediction read over them as their long family history. As they recessed down the aisle as husband and wife, you could hear the stringed instruments play the theme song of the popular show The Office; such a fun moment of the ceremony!
The reception was such a celebration! The couple had their first dances and cut the cake. The band played exciting songs and then out of the blue, Bully the Mississippi State mascot came walking through! (Hail State!) Everyone sang The Mississippi State Fight Song and cheered for the happy couple! The couple exited their night in an antique car with a sparkler send-off. The crowd got a little excited and lit a number of them at once causing somewhat of an explosion; thankfully no one was hurt! Carlee and Tyler’s wedding day would be difficult to forget!
Carlee and Tyler were married on May 29, 2021, at The Ice House Venue in Jackson, Mississippi.
