Bowen and I met at the Auburn game in Oxford
{What is your proposal story?}
Bowen wanted to catch me in my element—in the kitchen with my apron on cooking. I wasn’t cooking but he definitely surprised me on that Wednesday afternoon. After knocking on the door, he got down on one knee and asked me to spend my life with him.
{What inspired your wedding and reception locations?}
We wanted the wedding to be personal and intimate—nothing fit the bill like having the reception in the home I grew up in..and the water in the background made for a beautiful view!
{What inspired your color scheme/theme/flowers?}
My mother has always said to me, “Maggie you are my heart,” we took the heart theme and ran with it. Every detail was centered around hearts and soft whites and ivories.
{How did you pick “The Dress?”}
My mom and I took a trip to Birmingham to visit the carriage house, when I put on the dress we both looked at each other with tears in our eyes and knew, “this was it!”
{What’s your favorite unique accessory?}
My mother shadow-embroidered a heart with my name and wedding date in my wedding dress—this was such a sweet touch for me
{What was your favorite part of the wedding planning process?}
I got to live at home the six months before the wedding, getting to be involved in every detail and watching it all come together at my home with my family was a time in my life I will forever cherish.
{Besides the actual wedding, what was your favorite moment of the wedding day?} Seeing Bowen for the first time!
{What was your favorite surprise detail/moment about your wedding day?} Dancing over pool (I’ve swam in my whole life) on a clear acrylic dance floor was a ball!
