{Tell us about y’all!}
David and I met and started dating almost 11 years ago when we were both in the 8th grade at St. Joseph Catholic School in Madison, Mississippi. We attended Mississippi State University together, where David graduated with a Bachelors in Exercise Science. I left MSU after my junior year to attend nursing school in Jackson. After 10 years of dating, David planned the most special proposal at the Chapel of Livingston. Afterwards, our family and close friends were gathered at The Farmers Table Cooking School to celebrate with us!
One of my favorite things about our relationship is that we have been a part of each other's life for as long as I can remember. There aren't many memories in my life that David is not a part of. We have been together through so much together over the last 11 years and I'm so excited for all that is to come!

{How did you pick your wedding venues?}
We chose to get married in the church that I grew up in and that holds a special place in my heart. My dad played a huge role in building our new sanctuary, so having the wedding there made it even more special! As for the reception, I wanted to have it at a place that would allow us to choose our vendors and I loved the look and feel of Bridlewood of Madison.
{Tell us all about the flowers!}
I could talk all day long about how incredible Lesley Frascogna, the owner of Tulip Floral, is. She was the creative design behind our entire wedding day decor. I knew that I wanted my florals to be primarily whites and greens with a pop of lavender for color. My biggest request was to have a large bridal bouquet and bridesmaid bouquets. I was blown away with how beautiful her work was.

{What was your favorite moments of your wedding day?}
There are so many moments from our wedding day that are my favorites...getting ready with all my favorite girls, the first look with my Dad, putting on my dress with my mom and sister, seeing David at the end of the aisle. I could honestly go on and on! If I had to pick one, I would say my first look with David before the ceremony was my all-time favorite. I will always remember the moments during and after our first look. It was the moment that the two of us got to be alone and soak in that our special day was finally here.

{What were some of your details from your celebration?}
The food! Oh my goodness, it was phenomenal! The first decision I made when planning my wedding was choosing to have our close family friends, Derek and Jennifer Emerson cater our wedding. The Emersons own multiple restaurants in the Jackson metro area, including Walker’s Drive in, Local 463, Caet, and Parlor Market. David and I have always loved celebrating special occasions in our life at their restaurants, so having their amazing food be a part of our day was a must!
One of my other favorite details would have to be the music! Magnolia Strings played for thirty minutes prior to the start of the ceremony and accompanied the vocalist. This elegant music set the tone for the beautiful ceremony to follow. Their final number of the prelude was Surely the Presence. I chose this song because I wanted everyone to feel the presence of the Lord during the ceremony. The worship songs sung by the vocalist were personal favorites of mine. How deep the Father’s Love for Us and In Christ Alone were both sung by our dear friends. It was important to both of us to have our ceremony centered around worship and the music we selected allowed us to do that!
The band that played our reception, Entice, was INCREDIBLE! They ensured that our guests had the best time.

{What was your favorite part of the wedding planning process?}
My favorite part of planning a wedding was getting to spend the quality time with my mom. My wedding day would not have been what it was without all of her help! After the wedding, we had the best time going through our photos when Lindsay got them back to us! They turned out so well and we are so happy that we made the decision to hire Lindsay Ott Photography to capture our celebration.
{Do you have any tips for anyone else planning a wedding?}
I would suggest to slow down and make sure to focus on enjoying the day! Try to take as much as you can in because it truly does go by way too fast!
