What a wonderful way to celebrate this lovely couple who had just tied the knot on a beautiful day in our historic location.

Congrats Amy & Kyle; wishing you every happiness life has to offer! 💕

This was a first for us- Amy and Kyle got married across the street from us right before our Porchfest set. Naturally, we invited them over for a first dance.
