Stunning MS Delta Wedding on Family Land | Drew, MS

Emma and Cross' wedding weekend was perfect in every way possible. From the beautifully decorated and sentimental rehearsal dinner to the exceptionally fun reception, that and everything in between was incredible!

The weekend began with the Rehearsal Dinner held at the renowned The Pharm. The interior was decorated elegantly, and the food was delicious. Emma and Cross' family and friends didn't hold back words of their admiration and praise of the couple individually and together. Clearly, they had everyone's hearts and were loved by all who knew them.

The wedding ceremony and reception were held on Cross and his family's property. The girls got ready where Emma and Cross were to live after they were married in a beautifully renovated barn-dominium. This space led out to what was left of the barn, yet it was furnished to hold guests for the day. There was also a large white tent for other aspects of the reception. The ceremony was held on the other side of the tent, bookended by lovely wood arches and a small platform. The property had been beautifully landscaped everywhere with real greenery and flowers of all kinds. It was truly an amazingly gorgeous property.

As mentioned, Emma and her bridesmaids got ready in the barn dominium. She looked radiant in her sleeved and laced wedding gown. Cross got ready at his parent's home across the way. He looked handsome in his unique brown tweed suit. There was definitely a vintage vibe woven throughout the day. Emma and Cross' first look began with them holding hands back to back. As they turned, you could see Cross's awe as he saw Emma. He had picked a zinnia to give her as well. As they exchanged sweet words, they were ready to get the day moving so they would finally be married. Emma also had a first look with her bridesmaids and father.

The ceremony was held in an open field with chairs and pews leading to the platformed arch. Emma and Cross exchanged vows and commitments before a large crowd of family and friends. After the elegant solos and words given by the officiant, Emma and Cross were finally married.

The reception that followed was like none other. The Spunk Monkees welcomed the happy couple onto the dance floor. The cakes were immaculate and decorated to the tee. The food was delicious and had the flavors the Delta is known for. It wasn't hard for anyone to celebrate this great couple! After the confetti exited, Emma and Cross drove back home in their vintage truck. Cross picked up his bride and carried her over the threshold. It was all so perfect.

Emma and Cross were married on October 19, 2024, at the Crowe family property in Drew, Mississippi.

The Sweetest First Look before Wedding at The Raymond

Cate and Michael's wedding day was absolutely charming at The Raymond. The long-awaited day was filled with sweet moments with family, incredible floral arrangements, and two kind-hearted people excited to become husband and wife.

Cate and her bridesmaids got ready in the fabulous parlor of The Portico. Hanging on the giant antique mirror was Cate's beautiful dress. She looked stunning in it as she stood in the beams of light coming in through the high windows. Her bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law all had a first look together, and they loved seeing Cate in her wedding gown. Cate also had a first look with her stepdad and brother. Michael also had a first look with his mother. He looked great in his classic suit. Finally, it was time for Cate and Michael to share their first looks with each other. As Michael saw his bride, tears welled up in his eyes. They exchanged letters privately, expressing so much love and awe that they shared for each other.

The ceremony occurred in the outside courtyard under a floral arbor. Cate and Michael said their vows and exchanged rings in front of many family members and friends. They were now husband and wife!

A cocktail hour came after the ceremony, so Cate and Michael could take photos with family members. Then they went to the Raymond Courthouse for more gorgeous photos. Cate and Michael's love for each other was very evident after the nerves of the wedding ceremony were over. Their love was a joy to capture on film. They also were able to come into The Raymond before others were allowed in to take in the decorations and dance on the dance floor together. Everyone could let loose and celebrate the happy couple after the meet and greet, first dances, and cake cutting.

They left their lovely wedding day in a classic vintage car through a tunnel of sparklers.

Cate and Michael were married on October 12, 2024, at The Raymond Venue in Raymond, Mississippi.
