Kara and Ford’s wedding weekend was filled with kind sentiments and displayed the strong bonds of family love that taught Kara and Ford how to love each other so deeply.
It began at the decadent Bouré restaurant located on the famous courthouse square in Oxford. The dinner was held on the top floor so guests could go out on the balcony and see the lovely courthouse shine. Kara, Ford, and other bridal party members were escorted to the restaurant by a large red trolley that Oxford is known to have. After dinner, toasts and speeches were given, tears were cried by family, and Kara and Ford were encouraged to live in the present.
The next day, bridal preparations began at Castle Hill of Oxford. Kara and her bridesmaids took lovely photos in a room upstairs with beautiful blues and wallpapered walls. Kara looked stunning in her strapless flared bridal gown. She was a dream. She had first looks with her bridesmaids, her three brothers, her father, and then finally the groom himself. Everyone’s reactions express Kara’s beauty on her special day.
Ford and Kara has great attitudes throughout the whole day even though it rained continuously. It didn’t seem to bother them because they were together on a day they had been thinking about for about nine years. They even let their sweet pup join in on some of their portraits.
Soon the chapel was beginning to fill up with guests. There were so many in attendance that some had to stand in the back or wait in the reception hall. It was clear that Kara and Ford had an incredible support system and were loved by so many people. After lovely solos, vows and rings were exchanged. Kara and Ford were finally husband and wife. Also, how appropriate that after the ceremony, the sun came out to congratulate the sweet couple!
The reception was exquisitely decorated with elegant seating areas, over-the-top floral arrangements, perfect lighting, and so much more. Cocktails and appetizers were served bountifully while guests waited for the grand entrance. Finally, Kara and Ford were announced and as they danced and dipped confetti poppers were shot in celebration. After the other dances, cakes were cut, and some mingling, everyone was ready to get down on the dance floor with the band. It was the absolute best way to end such an amazing weekend. Kara and Ford exited through a tunnel of sparklers that led to a vintage car.
Kara and Ford were married on July 8, 2023, at Castle Hill in Oxford, Mississippi.
