“Our wedding day was the perfect portrayal of the memories, places, and moments in time that mean the most to us. Each element of our wedding weekend was planned thoughtfully and purposefully with the mission of having both of our personalities along with milestones in our relationship shine through.
Jack and I met at The Masters in 2021, discovering that both of our dads had worked the tournament for 30+ years and we’d been attending on the same days each Masters Week for most of our lives. In 2024, after attending the tournament together for 3 years, Jack proposed on Wednesday of Masters Week on Hole 15. With golf being such a central theme of our relationship, we knew Forest Heights was the perfect venue for our reception. The backdrop of the course at sunset created a perfect ambience for our cocktail hour, and we were able to incorporate elements like our favorite flowers from the course into centerpieces, a golf themed Groom’s cake for guests to enjoy, and even our passes from the day we got engaged into our flatlay photos.
Another key theme of our big day was a nod to our “House Divided” relationship. While I graduated from the University of Georgia and bleed red and black, Jack graduated from Georgia Tech and is a Yellow Jacket through and through. Over the years, we’ve spent a lot of time watching both the Jackets and Dawgs play, learning to divide our time between the two as much as each of us will allow. Our goal was to ensure that moments from our reception made both UGA and Tech fans smile. From calling the dawgs and my “guitar solo” on a bright red UGA-themed electric guitar, to our exit in none other than the Ramblin’ Wreck, a 1930 Ford Model A Sport Coupe that has led the Yellow Jackets onto the field for every home game since 1961, we honored both of our alma maters and brought a little of both Athens and Atlanta to Statesboro.”

“The entire weekend was an absolute dream, made possible by our incredible family and friends. From a thoughtful bridal brunch hosted by our sweet aunts, to a beautiful rehearsal dinner planned by Landon’s mom, to the wedding day I had always dreamed of, every moment felt intentional and full of love.
So many meaningful details made the day even more special. My mom, who was so patient and supportive throughout the planning process, created stunning ceramic vases for the ceremony entrance, along with the communion cup and plate we used that day. She poured so much time and care into those pieces and even surprised me with the pearl bracelet I wore. My veil was created at Frills by Scott using lace from her wedding dress, which made it one of my favorite details of the day.
Our family and friends truly came together to bring everything to life. My talented sister Alannah designed countless details, Anna McBride Designs created our beautiful invitation suite, and Landon’s cousins beautifully handled makeup for the day. Alongside our wonderful day-of coordinator, many generous family and friends also volunteered their time. Everyone went above and beyond to make the celebration seamless and special and we feel so blessed!
Some of the details that made the day feel so uniquely ours included the mini blue French horn Landon gave me during our “first look” photos – a sweet nod to our shared love of How I Met Your Mother. A brief rain shower at the start of the ceremony is now a lighthearted memory as it was followed by a beautiful rainbow, reminding us of God’s plans and promises.
At the reception, we invited our guests to contribute to a collaborative abstract painting which now hangs in our home as a meaningful reminder of the day. Later in the evening, we surprised Landon with his favorite ice cream flavor from Bruster’s Ice Cream as a late-night treat, adding one more personal (and sweet!) touch to the celebration!
The entire weekend was rooted in love and community, and we truly could not have asked for more. If we could, we would relive the day over and over again. We are so grateful for our incredible vendors, family, and friends who made us feel deeply loved and celebrated. Our hearts are full as we begin this new chapter together as husband and wife, and we cannot wait to see what God has in store for our future.” S
