"In marriage, we get to know the blessing of being closer to one another. The challenge here, is that when we encounter obstacles in relationships, we have an opportunity for adventure. You guys have embarked today on something incredible... a true adventure."
- Reverend Bill Blair, Officiant

Here's to a lifelong adventure together!

Happy anniversary to Parker and Edward!

"It happened in New York. I was going from our friend Jake's apartment on the East Side down to the Financial District, and I had a walk signal and walked, and a bicyclist hit me. Somehow, he fell over and I didn't. I looked around and I thought, 'What the heck am I doing here to walk over a mile and a half and get hit by a crazy biker, just to have dinner with you?'

That's the exact point where I realized just how much I love you."

-Edward, The Groom

"What can be better than to build something beautiful for God?

When I read that, it answered a question I didn't know I had. Why are we getting married? And I think the answer to that question is... because it will be beautiful. And what could be better than to build something beautiful for God?"

-Will, the Groom

Happy first anniversary week to Alli and Will! Here's to many more beautiful years!

Happy FIRST anniversary to Mary Reed and Zachary!

"Mary Reed, fifteen years ago, as we stood together on the day of your baptism, did you imagine this day?

And Zach, on that same day, wherever you were, did you know that you would go to Ole Miss, meet a girl there, and at some deep level, perceive that that girl was part of God's plan for your life?

Did you think that way?"

-Don Guthrie, Officiant

Before today is completely gone, we'd like to wish a happy 2nd anniversary to Mallory and Blake!!

"Blake called me one day, and he said, 'I'd love to marry Mallory.' And that just sunk my heart, because I didn't think that was real - I didn't think that happened these days.
Blake is everything that I ever envisioned in a young man for my young daughter to marry."

Happy 2nd anniversary to Whitney and Mitch!!

"When we brought Whitney down here to start her freshman year at Ole Miss, there was some trepidation, some anxiety... you fear the worst, but you pray for the best. Little did we know that we were going to drive 300 miles plus, and have her meet a guy that grew up just 20 miles away. God said if you're not going to run into this guy in southern Illinois, I'll make you cross paths in Mississippi!

I think what we got was the best."

Happy first anniversary to Sydney and Clayton! ❤️

"The first date they were gonna go on, Sydney asked him to be a date to a wedding. And we were so excited. And my mom was like, 'Whatever you do, do NOT kiss him. Don't kiss him on the first date. That's terrible.' And if you know my late grandmother, Sassy, she was there. And my mom leaves the room and Sassy goes, 'YOU KISS HIM.'

It worked out VERY well, and I won't give any spoilers, but I'm pretty sure they kissed!"

“I remember Terrie and Mike carrying Eden up the stairs with Eden crying because she ‘didn’t like no church.’ And Terrie and Mike would smile and reassure me by saying, ‘She’s gonna be alright… she’s gonna be alright.’
Now the roles have reversed, and Eden is here… and I’m not gonna say y’all have cried, but y’all’s allergies are acting up… and I want you to know, she’s gonna be alright.

Mitch and Jana would sit up there in the balcony and Ross would lean over on his mama and go to sleep during my sermons… seems like it was only yesterday.

Eden and Ross have been in this room a lot in their lifetimes. But today… today they start their family. “

dear kat and ryan

“Your whole life’s in search of the pieces and the parts
The ones that will satisfy the hunger in your heart.
And your soul’s just a hole until you fill it with God‘s graces
Hoping by the time you’ve lived your life, there’s no more empty spaces.”
-Steve Azar, singer/songwriter

“…I know that the one thing missing in her life was Ryan. It’s been an amazing thing to see their love grow. He has filled her empty spaces.”
-Father of the Bride

Here’s to finding the one your heart hungers for!

Madison and Hunter’s autumn wedding was full of so many memorable moments. For these two Ole Miss fans, nothing could have been better than having their ceremony and first look right on campus under the sunset-colored trees. At their reception, sparkly cowboy hats and a guest appearance by Colonel Reb amped up the fun. And let’s not forget the father/daughter dance with moves that led to knee surgery for Dad (what a story)!
