Longtime Sweethearts Married at Dodson Farm | Starkville, MS

April 13, 2024 Joe Cain

Clara and Nathan's spring wedding day was one of the most dreamy weddings we've ever had the privilege to film. These two extraordinary people met way back in sixth grade. Clara said that she knew back then that Nathan was her person. Years and years later, the two finally made their dream of being together for life come true.

Clara and her bridal party got ready that morning at Dodson Farm's farmhouse. Of course, Nathan and his groomsmen got ready at the barn loft after playing a few rounds of corn hole. Clara and Nathan exchanged letters before their first look. Clara looked incredible in her strapless wedding gown, which had beautiful lace details. Nathan looked handsome in his tuxedo with a pink floral tie. Their first look was filled with emotional tears and excitement. Clara also had a first look with her bridesmaids. Photos with the bridal party and family were flawless in the spring sun.

The ceremony indeed left everyone feeling encouraged. As Clara walked down the aisle to Kari Jobe's The Blessing, everyone standing in the gorgeous outside chapel couldn't help but feel honored to behold such a wonderful moment. Nathan's face said it all in that moment. Clara and Nathan also took communion together during their ceremony. There were other very intentional aspects, such as Nathan hugging his parents and Clara's parents when he first walked down. After exchanging vows and rings, Clara and Nathan were finally married!

The reception to follow was filled with happiness and joy. Many decorative touches were seen throughout the reception. Big "N & C" lighted letters were a great backdrop to the checkered dance floor. A white floral backdrop was a beautiful place to take pictures with the couple. Nathan's groom's cake and table were filled with Ole Miss memorabilia. Everyone celebrated the happy couple flawlessly.

Clara and Nathan were married on April 13, 2024, at Dodson Farm in Starkville, Mississippi.
