A Wedding Ten Years in the Making Falls on the Coldest Week of the Year | Country Club of Jackson

Winter weather weddings are one of a kind. Though their day was one of the coldest, the warmth in the hearts of Mae Mae and Kaleb, along with their family and friends, was more than evident.

The weekend began with an intimate rehearsal dinner at the Country Club of Jackson. Emotions and joy filled the room as family and friends laughed, cried, and celebrated this fantastic couple. Mae Mae and Kaleb began dating ten years ago, seven of those years being long-distance. They fought for their relationship, and it had certainly paid off. Their love was unmatched compared to others.

The wedding day began with the girls getting ready in the ladies' locker room at the Country Club of Jackson. They even braved the cold to pop a bottle of champagne in their pajamas. Mae Mae's wedding gown was perfection. It was a strapless ball gown with a sweetheart neckline. She looked incredibly elegant. She had a first look with her bridesmaids and father, whose expressions were jubilant. Finally, it was time for the first look with Kaleb. He also looked handsome in his black tuxedo. Mae Mae and Kaleb's first look was tender and sweet. They were so happy that their time to be married had finally come. They also read heartfelt letters to each other.

Though cold, the ceremony was held outside under the portico toward the croquet court. The large wooden cross beautifully decorated centered the aisle for the family and bridal party to enter. Heaters were scattered about the area, and guests were given blankets to stay warm. However, when the guests saw Mae Mae, the coldness didn't distract them. Their ceremony was Christ-centered, and they even had a moment for the parents to come to pray over them. As they exchanged long-awaited vows and commitments, Kaleb and Mae Mae were finally husband and wife!

The reception did not disappoint. The food tables had sushi, gourmet grilled cheeses, and Mexican-inspired food. The cake had a classic topper on it, which was super cute. As the happy couple was introduced, Kaleb changed into a white jacket tuxedo. The band made everyone join the dance floor and celebrate. Mae Mae and Kaleb left with a sparkler exit as the evening ended and rode away on a decorated golf kart.

Mae Mae and Kaleb were married on January 20, 2024, at the Country Club of Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi.
