From the City to the Woods of Mississippi | Emotional Wedding

March 5, 2022 Joe Cain

At the end of winter, outdoor weddings can be a gamble. You may get wintery rain or beautiful sunshine. Luckily, Caitlin and Caleb’s wedding day, the first Saturday of March, turned out to be a perfect day for an outdoor wedding. Sunshine and a light breeze made it feel like spring was quickly approaching.

Caitlin and her bridal party got ready at a gorgeous Airbnb loft in downtown Columbus, MS. The loft had a gigantic window at the front so the small city skyline made a lovely backdrop as Caitlin got into her gown. Caitlin was breathtakingly beautiful. Caitlin also made all the floral bouquets which added a sweet touch to the details of the day. After a couple of 'beauty shots' downtown, we all headed to her family land outside of Caledonia, MS where the ceremony and reception were to be held. Caleb and his groomsmen looked sharp in their blue suits.

Caitlin and Caleb did not have a first look before the wedding ceremony, so the anticipation was quite clear. It was so sweet to see them so excited to be husband and wife. The ceremony was held in a gorgeous green lane surrounded by trees and brush. You could even see rabbits hopping by throughout the day. Finally, the moment came when Caitlin walked down the aisle and Caleb couldn’t hold it together. He knew she would be beautiful as he stated in his letter to her, but it was evident that she blew him away as she walked toward him to become his wife.

The ceremony was officiated by Caleb’s grandfather. They said their vows only to each other as they placed soil around a magnolia tree pot that they will plant near their future home.

The reception followed on a different part of their land. The tent housed a beautifully decorated area for eating and gathering. A food truck and a cocktail truck had plenty to serve the happy guests and the new bride and groom. Everything about Caitlin and Caleb’s day was amazing.

Caitlin and Caleb were married on March 5, 2022, on their property in Caledonia, Mississippi.
