Intimate Wedding with Huge Reception Celebration | Jackson, MS

#RunnerToTheAltar

Some weddings are large and immaculate. Some weddings are small and intimate. Some weddings are both. That’s exactly the wedding Kennedy and Matt had after being together for seven years. The time had come, and they savored every moment of it.

The rainy Saturday began at Reunion Golf & Country Club. Though the rain came, it would not steal the desire to have an intimate outside December wedding ceremony. The couple, valuing intimacy, only invited family and close friends to the ceremony. Kennedy got in her gown with the help of her mom and sister. Her gown was a stunning ruffled strapless dress with a large train attached to add elegance and grandeur. Everyone cried when they saw her dressed.

She had a first look with her bridesmaids. She had a first look with her dad and brother. She then had a first look with her groom. Everyone cried. These moments were of pure sentimentality.

The ceremony occurred on the back side of the clubhouse on a brick patio with a round arbor as an altar. Kennedy and Matt recited personal vows and exchanged rings. Only about fifty people were in attendance for the ceremony. They intentionally didn’t want to put on a show regarding something so personal and important. It was such a sweet ceremony. They exited the ceremony with rose petals thrown from guests. Though the ceremony had few people, many more friends enjoyed the reception.

The reception took place at the Old Capitol Inn in downtown Jackson. Many more guests came to celebrate with the couple. Santa even attended! The band had no trouble getting people on the dance floor. The food was delicious, the bars stayed busy, and the celebration didn’t stop. Kennedy and Matthew left the party through a tunnel of sparklers and sat on the back of a Rolls Royce. They had an amazing wedding day.

Kennedy and Matthew were married on December 2, 2023, at "Reunion Golf and Country Club" in Jackson, Mississippi.

Timeless Wedding at Historic Venues | Old Waverly Wedding

The beauty of Kathryn and Charlie’s wedding day was stunning. From her fabulous wedding gown, the astounding floral arrangements, the glory of the outdoor tent, and the immaculate beauty of Old Waverly, their wedding day was one of the best. And to top all of that, the authentic genuine love of Katheryn and Charlie was so sweet.

Katheryn’s wedding gown was so gorgeous. The strapless gown adorned a beautiful bow in the back and a medium train. She looked radiant. Charlie also looked handsome in his classic black tuxedo with a bow tie.

The ceremony was held at First United Methodist Church of West Point. This was a very sentimental place because Katherine’s parents and grandparents were married there as well. The stained glass of the large windows on both sides perfectly lit the standing-room-only crowd of attendees. Surrounded by their large wedding party, everyone enjoyed watching Charlie and Katherine become husband and wife.

After the ceremony, everyone drove to Old Waverly and were greeted by delicious hors d’oeuvres and several food stations. In the front lobby of the clubhouse, there was a spectacular floral archway that perfectly framed the incredible five-tier wedding cake. It looked like a fairytale. The five bars were also thoroughly stocked and the band was ready to groove. It was important to Katherine and Charlie to give their guests plenty of room to dance and mingle so they had an outdoor tent on the other side of the water fountain garden. The tent was next level with its green faux carpeting, fabulous furniture, and outdoor air conditioning. During the evening “Nashville” hats were given to the guests to wear. At the end of the incredible evening, the couple drove away in a blue vintage convertible. Nothing could top Katherine and Charlie’s wedding day.

Charlie and Katherine were married on August 27, 2022, at First United Methodist Church of West Point, Mississippi.

Mary + Will

Will and Mary’s wedding day was an incredible day. Even though it was quite warm, the overall feeling of the day was truly light and airy.

Mary was flawless in her gorgeous and unique wedding gown. Effortlessly beautiful and genuinely at ease, Mary and Will’s first look was one amazing sight to behold. One knew by watching that they sincerely love each other and are best friends. Their ceremony was filled with sweet family members singing and sharing scripture-inspired prayers. For their reception they celebrated with friends and family at Goodlett Manor in downtown Tupelo.

Even though they love each other deeply, it was evident and obvious that Will and Mary truly love Jesus Christ more, which was so awesome to see and experience. Will and Mary were married at First Baptist Church in Tupelo, Mississippi on August 25, 2018.
