Anna and Clayton’s wedding weekend was truly one-of-a-kind—overflowing with sentimental gifts, heartfelt moments, and joy shared with those they love most. From an intimate bridal luncheon to a late-night party bus sendoff, their love story was on full display for all to see.
The celebration began Friday in downtown Oxford, where Anna, her bridesmaids, and family enjoyed a beautiful bridal luncheon at the Nightbird Speakeasy Lounge inside The Oliver Hotel. Meanwhile, the groomsmen gathered for a relaxed round of virtual golf at Back 9 Oxford. That evening, guests donned western attire for a warm, laughter-filled rehearsal dinner at Saint Leo, complete with specialty cocktails, four delicious courses, and moving toasts that brought tears to many eyes. The night ended Texas-style—dancing the night away at Rafters.
On Saturday morning, in the quiet blue room of Castle Hill, Anna wrote her vows to Clayton before stepping into her strapless, perfectly tailored gown and elegant veil. She was radiant. Clayton, equally striking in his custom white tuxedo with black lapels, wore a handmade silver buckle he had designed with his father—matching ones were gifted to his groomsmen and select family. During their first look, they exchanged personal vows, and Clayton surprised Anna with an exquisite Cartier watch, the iconic red box taking her breath away. Yet even in all the beauty and gifts, it was their deep love for one another that shone brightest.
The ceremony took place in Castle Hill’s white chapel, every seat filled with loved ones. The service honored the legacies of both families. Clayton’s eyes welled with emotion as Anna walked down the aisle, her face softly hidden beneath her veil. After exchanging vows and rings, they walked back down the aisle as husband and wife.
Guests enjoyed a sunset cocktail hour before entering the breathtaking reception space, adorned with stunning florals, gourmet food, and endless dancing. After their first dances, cake cutting, and heartfelt toasts, Anna changed into a sparkling orange sequin dress for the party. Fireworks lit up the night as they made their grand exit from Castle Hill, boarding a party bus with their closest friends to keep the celebration going well into the early hours.
Anna and Clayton were married on May 17, 2025, at Castle Hill in Oxford, Mississippi—a weekend as beautiful, heartfelt, and unforgettable as their love story.
